Drill bit Smart SDS+ 5 mm for concrete, model 17-05110

Carbide-tipped Smart SDS+ 5 mm drill bit, model 17-05110, is designed for percussive drilling in concrete and masonry. The 5 mm diameter provides consistent, precise holes in reinforced concrete, brick and block when used in SDS+ rotary hammer systems. The flute geometry and compatible SDS+ shank ensure stable mounting, efficient dust and debris evacuation and reliable performance for both professional tradespeople and DIY users.

Advantages

The carbide tip increases wear resistance and maintains cutting performance when working with abrasive concrete surfaces. The SDS+ shank design allows quick, secure insertion and removal in compatible hammer drills, reducing bit wobble and improving drilling accuracy. Optimized flute profile promotes faster debris removal, which helps sustain drilling speed and reduces heat buildup during continuous use.

Suitable for

• Drilling 5 mm diameter holes in concrete for anchors and dowels
• Making guide holes in brick and hollow block
• Preparing mounting points for light fixtures, conduits and cable clips
• Professional and home renovation tasks that require consistent 5 mm holes

Key specifications

• Tip material: tungsten carbide for enhanced durability
• Shank type: SDS+ compatible for rotary hammers
• Nominal diameter: 5 mm for precise standard-size holes
• Intended materials: concrete, masonry, brick and block
• Flute design: spiral flute for efficient debris evacuation

How to use

Install the drill bit into an SDS+ rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions, ensuring the shank locks securely. Select the hammer drilling mode and start at low pressure to establish the hole, then apply steady forward force while allowing the tool to do the work. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear debris and prevent clogging; for deeper holes, withdraw more frequently. Use personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, gloves and hearing protection while operating power tools.

Usage recommendations

For best results in reinforced concrete, begin with light pressure to locate the rebar-free zone and avoid excessive axial force when encountering reinforcement. Replace the bit when noticeable wear or chipping of the carbide tip reduces drilling efficiency. Store the bit in a dry place to prevent corrosion of the shank and preserve performance.
