Drill bit Smart SDS+ 12 mm for concrete, model 17-12160

Drill bit Smart SDS+ 12 mm for concrete, model 17-12160 is a solid-round shank masonry bit designed for drilling precise 12 mm diameter holes in concrete and other masonry materials. Built for use with SDS+ rotary hammers, this bit enables fast penetration and steady drilling when installing anchors, dowels or creating through-fixings. The geometry and build are aimed at construction and renovation tasks where reliable hole size and durability are required.

Advantages

The SDS+ 12 mm bit provides consistent hole diameter and stable drilling performance in concrete. Compatibility with standard SDS+ chucks ensures quick bit changes and secure retention during heavy-duty use. The solid-round shank offers durability under torque and repeated impact, while the cutting head geometry is optimized to clear dust and maintain drilling speed in hard masonry.

Suitable for

• Drilling 12 mm holes in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete
• Preparing anchor and dowel holes for mechanical fasteners
• Through-fixing for installations such as conduit, brackets and rails
• General renovation and construction work with SDS+ rotary hammers

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 12 mm
• Shaft type: SDS+ solid-round shank suitable for SDS+ chucks
• Intended material: concrete and masonry
• Typical application: anchor/dowel holes and through-fixing
• Designed for use with rotary hammers that accept SDS+ bits

How to use

Fit the bit into the SDS+ rotary hammer chuck until it locks securely. Use the rotary hammer in hammer-drill or rotary-only mode as appropriate for the material; for solid concrete use the hammer function. Start drilling at low speed to position the bit, then apply steady pressure and maintain the tool perpendicular to the surface. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and prevent clogging for consistent performance. Follow the rotary hammer manufacturer’s safety and operational instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment — eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask — and ensure the workpiece is stable. For drilling deep holes, periodically retract the bit to remove debris. Select a drill length that provides sufficient reach while minimizing excess exposure of the shank.
