Drill Bit Smart SDS+ 12 mm model 17-12210 for concrete

Smart SDS+ 12 mm drill bit model 17-12210 is engineered for rotary and hammer drilling in concrete and other masonry materials. The 12 mm diameter delivers a balance between hole size and drilling speed, allowing installation of anchors, sleeves, conduit and pipe passages as well as general concrete fastening tasks. The bit is designed for SDS+ chucks and provides focused percussion transfer for efficient penetration in reinforced and plain concrete when used with compatible hammer drills.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank ensures quick, secure mounting and reliable percussion transfer from the drill to the bit. A 12 mm cutting diameter gives predictable hole size for common anchors and fasteners while maintaining manageable drilling time and tool load. The bit geometry is optimized for masonry to reduce walking and to improve centring at the start of drilling. It is suitable for repeated use in construction and renovation settings when combined with proper drill settings and cooling intervals.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor holes for wall fixings in concrete and masonry
• Creating passages for electrical conduit and plumbing sleeves
• Fastening tasks requiring 12 mm holes in renovation and construction
• Use with SDS+ hammer drills on job sites and domestic projects

Key specifications

• Diameter: 12 mm
• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Intended materials: concrete and masonry
• Drilling mode: rotary and hammer (percussion) drilling
• Typical applications: anchor holes, conduit and pipe passages, general fastening

How to use

Install the drill bit in an SDS+ compatible hammer drill according to the drill manufacturer's instructions. Mark and, if needed, centre-punch the drilling location. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole position, then increase to the recommended hammer drilling speed for the material. Apply steady axial pressure—avoid excessive force that could overload the drill or damage the bit. Retract periodically to clear dust from the hole and allow the bit to cool during prolonged drilling.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and dust mask. For reinforced concrete, use intermittent drilling to prevent overheating and inspect the bit for wear before extended use. Match drill settings and anchor diameter to the 12 mm bit to ensure correct fastening performance.
