Drill Bit Smart SDS+ 16 mm, model 17-161000

The Smart SDS+ 16 mm drill bit (model 17-161000) is a rotary-hammer accessory engineered for use with SDS+ chucks. With a 16 mm diameter and a design suited to hammer drilling, this bit is intended for creating holes in concrete, masonry and other hard substrates. The geometry and material selection support penetration in reinforced and non-reinforced concrete where anchors, dowels or through-holes are required in construction and renovation work.

Advantages

This SDS+ 16 mm drill bit combines impact-resistant construction with a tip and flute design that facilitates efficient dust removal and stable drilling. The shank fits standard SDS+ rotary hammers for secure coupling and reduced slippage during hammering. The bit’s diameter and length balance hole size control and reach for common fixing tasks, while the carbide tip provides wear resistance for repeated use in abrasive materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry for anchor and dowel installation
• Creating through-holes for plumbing, electrical conduits and fastening systems
• Renovation and construction tasks that require precision hammer drilling

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS+ compatible
• Diameter: 16 mm
• Intended material: concrete, masonry and similar hard substrates
• Tip material: carbide tip for improved wear resistance
• Application: rotary-hammer drilling with hammer function enabled

How to use

Fit the drill bit into an SDS+ rotary hammer chuck following the tool manufacturer’s instructions until it locks in place. Select a suitable drilling speed and engage the hammer function on the tool. Apply steady axial pressure and allow the hammer action and bit geometry to do the cutting; avoid excessive lateral force. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust when drilling deep holes. After use, clean dust from the flute and inspect the carbide tip for wear before storing.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling. Match drill length and diameter to anchor or dowel specifications, and confirm compatibility with your SDS+ rotary hammer. Replace the bit if the tip shows significant wear or if drilling becomes inefficient.
