Drill bit EINHELL 6 x 160 mm SDS, model 49270106, carbide tip

The EINHELL SDS drill bit 6 x 160 mm with a carbide tip is designed for use with rotary and hammer drills that accept an SDS shank. It is intended for drilling holes in masonry, concrete and natural stone and is suitable for installing anchors, fixing fixtures and creating passages for electrical or plumbing conduits through solid substrates. The carbide tip increases drilling durability and helps maintain cutting performance when working with abrasive materials.

Advantages

The SDS shank enables quick, secure engagement with compatible chucks and reduces slippage during hammer drilling. The carbide-tipped head provides improved wear resistance and maintains sharpness longer than standard steel tips, which supports more consistent hole quality. The 6 mm diameter and 160 mm length offer a balance between reach and stiffness for typical anchoring and fixture-installation tasks in masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for wall plugs and anchors in masonry and concrete
• Fixing fixtures such as shelves, brackets and conduit clamps
• Creating through-holes for cable or pipe runs in solid substrates
• Use with SDS-compatible rotary or rotary-hammer drills for professional and DIY projects

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for use in metal, wood or other non-masonry materials; using it on unsuitable materials can damage the carbide tip and reduce service life. For very large-diameter holes, deep core drilling, or precision finish drilling in delicate tile surfaces, specialized bits or techniques are more appropriate.

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 6 mm
• Total length: 160 mm
• Shank type: SDS
• Tip material: carbide
• Intended material: masonry, concrete, natural stone

How to use

Mount the SDS drill bit into the drill’s chuck until it locks securely. Select the hammer-drilling mode for concrete and masonry, and apply steady, moderate pressure—let the tool and carbide tip do the work rather than forcing the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and reduce heat buildup. For deeper holes, remove dust with a brush or blow out the hole to maintain drilling efficiency. Wear appropriate eye, hearing and dust protection when operating the drill.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your drill accepts SDS shanks
• Confirm that a 6 mm diameter and 160 mm length meet the hole size and depth requirements for your task
• Ensure the intended work material is masonry, concrete or natural stone
• Consider having spare bits available if you expect heavy or continuous use

Usage recommendations

For best results, use the drill bit with an appropriate SDS rotary-hammer at recommended speeds and avoid excessive side pressure; replace the bit when the cutting performance noticeably decreases to prevent poor hole quality and increased tool strain.
