Adapter GRAPHITE SDS Max to SDS+ model T 56H559 for rotary hammers and chisels

The GRAPHITE adapter SDS Max to SDS+ model T 56H559 converts an SDS Max tool holder to accept SDS+ bits, allowing use of smaller SDS+ chisels and drill bits in rotary hammers and chisels designed for SDS Max shanks. This compact metal adapter enables compatibility between two common bit systems so you can operate SDS+ accessories in heavier SDS Max machines without modifying the machine or the tool shank. The adapter is intended for construction, demolition and repair tasks where switching between bit sizes increases flexibility on the job.

Advantages

The adapter provides a straightforward mechanical conversion that keeps the bit securely retained during operation and supports reliable load transfer from the machine to the accessory. Its durable construction resists wear from repeated insertion and rotation and maintains fit tolerance to reduce play between the tool and bit. The design minimizes downtime by allowing fast bit changes and expands the range of compatible accessories for a single rotary hammer.

Suitable for

• Using SDS+ chisels and drill bits in SDS Max rotary hammers
• Construction and renovation work requiring multiple bit types
• On-site repair and maintenance where tool interoperability is needed
• Demolition tasks where smaller SDS+ bits are preferred for precision

Key specifications

• Conversion type: SDS Max male to SDS+ female
• Material: hardened metal alloy for wear resistance
• Compatibility: for use with rotary hammers and chisels that accept SDS Max shanks
• Retention: secure locking to prevent bit slippage under load
• Size: compact inline adapter suitable for handheld and tripod-mounted use

How to use

Insert the adapter into the SDS Max chuck of the rotary hammer until it engages with the locking mechanism, ensuring the adapter is seated fully and securely. Then insert an SDS+ bit into the adapter's SDS+ receptacle until it locks in place. Verify the assembly by pulling lightly on the bit to ensure retention before applying power. Operate the tool within the recommended speed and impact settings for the chosen bit and material. After use, remove the SDS+ bit first, then withdraw the adapter from the machine and store it in a dry place.

Usage recommendations

Use the adapter only with compatible rotary hammers and SDS+ accessories. Avoid side-loading or levering on the bit to prevent premature wear. Regularly inspect the adapter and bits for signs of wear or damage and replace any components that show deformation, excessive play, or cracking. Follow manufacturer guidelines for machine settings and safety equipment when performing drilling or chiselling operations.
