Drill Bit Smart SDS+ 10 mm for Concrete, model 17-101000

SDS+ 10 mm drill bit by Smart (model 17-101000) is designed for drilling clean, precise holes in concrete and similar masonry materials. It features an SDS+ shank for quick, secure mounting in compatible rotary hammers and supplies a 10 mm cutting diameter suitable for standard anchors, dowels and cable passages. The bit construction balances hardness and toughness to withstand repeated impact drilling while maintaining cutting performance and reasonably long service life.

Advantages

The SDS+ connection ensures fast, tool-free bit changes and stable retention during impact drilling. A 10 mm diameter offers a common size for fixing and installation tasks, simplifying the selection of anchors and fasteners. The tip and flute geometry are optimised to evacuate dust efficiently and reduce clogging, which helps produce cleaner holes and steadier drilling progress. The bit is suitable for both professional tradespeople and DIY users requiring consistent concrete drilling performance.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for chemical and mechanical anchors in concrete
• Creating passages for electrical conduit and wiring
• Installing dowels, screws and fixtures in masonry
• General renovation and construction tasks involving concrete and brick

Key specifications

• Cutting diameter: 10 mm
• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Intended material: concrete and similar masonry
• Application: impact (rotary hammer) drilling

How to use

Select a rotary hammer with an SDS+ chuck and insert the SDS+ shank of the drill bit until it locks. Mark the drilling position and, when applicable, use a centre punch to prevent bit walking. Start drilling at low speed to seat the tip, then apply steady pressure and allow the tool to operate at appropriate impact mode and speed for concrete. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust from the hole and prevent overheating. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection, and a dust mask when drilling masonry.

Usage recommendations

For longer bit life and cleaner holes, use a vacuum or dust extraction when possible, avoid excessive lateral force, and match the drill speed and impact settings to the base material. Replace the bit when wear on the tip or flute significantly reduces drilling efficiency.
