Drill Bit Smart SDS+ 8 mm for Concrete, Model 17-08160

Smart SDS+ 8 mm drill bit is designed for drilling precise holes in concrete and other masonry materials. Compatible with SDS+ rotary hammer systems, this 8 mm diameter bit features a standard SDS+ shank for secure retention and efficient power transfer during percussion drilling. The bit is intended for tasks that require repeatable, accurate holes in construction, renovation and installation work.

Advantages

The drill bit provides reliable centring and stable engagement in SDS+ chucks, ensuring consistent drilling depth and straighter holes. Its carbide tip and flute geometry are engineered to remove debris effectively while maintaining cutting performance in abrasive concrete. The standard length and balanced profile reduce vibration and improve control during prolonged use.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and dowel holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Installing electrical boxes, conduit and plumbing anchors in masonry
• Creating fixing points for façade, shelving and fixture installations
• General construction and renovation drilling where an 8 mm hole is required

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 8 mm
• Shank type: SDS+ (standard retention)
• Material tip: carbide cutting tip for masonry
• Suitable materials: concrete, reinforced concrete, brick and natural stone
• Typical use: percussion drilling with rotary hammer

How to use

Install the bit into the SDS+ chuck until it locks securely. Select an appropriate rotary hammer setting for percussion drilling and mark the drilling point. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure and maintain consistent alignment while the hammer function performs the cutting action. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris from the hole, especially when drilling deep or through heavily reinforced material.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling. For best results, match bit length to the required hole depth and replace the bit when wear reduces cutting efficiency or causes excessive wandering.
