SDS-Plus to 13 mm Keyless Chuck Adapter Makita P-24664 with Metal Sleeve

The Makita SDS-Plus to 13 mm Keyless Chuck Adapter P-24664 with Metal Sleeve converts a rotary hammer's SDS-Plus connection into a 13 mm keyless drill chuck, enabling the use of standard 13 mm shank drills and bits in SDS-Plus tools. The adapter is designed to allow quick bit changes and to expand the range of drilling and light fastening operations possible with a single tool by providing a familiar keyless chuck interface on SDS-Plus rotary hammers.

Advantages

The metal sleeve provides robust clamping and improved wear resistance compared with plastic alternatives. The keyless chuck design allows tool-free bit changes for increased workflow speed. The adapter preserves the SDS-Plus connection secure fit while enabling compatibility with common 13 mm round- or hex-shank accessories, reducing the need for multiple dedicated tools.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

• Drilling in wood, metal and masonry when hammer function is not required
• Quickly switching between drill bits and screwdriver bits with 13 mm shanks
• Light fastening tasks and maintenance work where a cordless or corded SDS-Plus tool is used
• Worksites where reducing the number of different tools is beneficial

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for drilling and light fastening and is not designed to substitute purpose-built SDS-Plus percussive bits for heavy hammer drilling in concrete or reinforced masonry. It may not be suitable for high-torque demolition or continuous heavy-duty hammering applications where a dedicated SDS-Plus bit and holder are required.

Key specifications

• Chuck type: keyless 13 mm
• Connection: SDS-Plus shank interface
• Sleeve material: metal for enhanced durability
• Compatible shank size: up to 13 mm
• Primary use: conversion adapter to accept standard 13 mm drill and screwdriver bits

How to use

Insert the SDS-Plus shank of the adapter into the tool’s chuck receptacle and engage according to the tool manufacturer’s SDS-Plus insertion method until it locks. Open the keyless 13 mm chuck by turning the sleeve, insert the desired 13 mm shank bit, and tighten the chuck by hand until the bit is held securely. Verify the bit is centered and secure before operating the tool. Follow the rotary hammer’s safety instructions, and disable hammer mode when using the adapter for standard drilling or fastening.

What to consider before purchase

• Intended tasks: suitable for drilling and light fastening, not heavy-duty hammer drilling
• Compatibility: confirm your rotary hammer uses an SDS-Plus interface
• Bit size: designed for standard 13 mm shank drills and bits
• Tool settings: ensure hammer action can be switched off when using this adapter

Usage recommendations

For safe and effective operation, use the adapter with the hammer function turned off when performing rotary drilling or fastening. Regularly inspect the metal sleeve and chuck for wear and secure seating in the SDS-Plus receptacle. Use appropriately rated 13 mm bits and avoid applying excessive side loads or high-torque operations beyond the adapter’s intended light-duty range.
