Irwin Speedhammer Plus Concrete Drill Bit 18 x 1000 mm SDS+

The Irwin Speedhammer Plus concrete drill bit, measuring 18 x 1000 mm, is a high-performance drilling tool engineered for demanding masonry and concrete applications. Designed with a specialized SDS+ shank, this drill bit provides a secure connection to rotary hammer drills, ensuring efficient power transfer and stability during operation. Its robust construction and advanced head geometry facilitate rapid material removal, allowing for consistent performance even when drilling deep holes in hard materials.

Advantages

This drill bit stands out due to its optimized head design, which significantly increases drilling speed and extends the overall service life of the tool. The high-quality steel construction ensures resistance to wear and heat during intensive use. Furthermore, the SDS+ shank system allows for quick and tool-free bit changes, which enhances productivity on busy construction sites. The long reach of 1000 mm makes it an essential tool for specialized tasks requiring deep penetration into concrete structures.

Suitable for

• Drilling deep holes in reinforced concrete
• Masonry and brickwork installation tasks
• Professional construction and renovation projects
• Anchoring applications requiring extended reach

When it may not be suitable

This drill bit is not intended for use with standard rotary drills that lack an SDS+ chuck system. It is also not suitable for drilling through metal, wood, or ceramic tiles, as the specialized carbide tip is specifically engineered for masonry materials.

Key specifications

• Diameter: 18 mm
• Total length: 1000 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Material compatibility: Concrete, masonry, brick

How to use

Insert the SDS+ shank into the chuck of your rotary hammer drill until it clicks into place. Ensure the drill is set to the hammer-drilling mode. Position the tip of the bit against the surface and apply steady, moderate pressure. Allow the drill to do the work, and periodically retract the bit from the hole to clear out accumulated dust, especially when drilling to the full 1000 mm depth.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your power tool is compatible with the SDS+ shank system
• Ensure the 18 mm diameter meets the requirements of your specific anchors or fasteners
• Confirm that the 1000 mm length is sufficient for your intended application depth

Usage recommendations

Always wear appropriate personal protective equipment, including safety goggles and ear protection, when operating a rotary hammer drill. Ensure the drill bit is kept clean and cool during prolonged use to maintain its structural integrity and drilling efficiency.
