Drill bit Smart SDS+ 18 mm for concrete, model 17-18200

Drill bit Smart SDS+ 18 mm for concrete, model 17-18200 is an 18 mm diameter SDS+ masonry drill designed for percussive drilling in concrete and masonry. It fits standard SDS+ rotary hammer systems and provides a secure shank connection for efficient transfer of hammer energy. The bit is intended for drilling anchor holes, through-holes and preparatory openings in reinforced concrete, brick and other common masonry materials.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank ensures quick and secure fitting in compatible rotary hammers, reducing slippage during heavy-duty use. The 18 mm diameter balances hole size and drilling speed for common fixing and anchoring tasks. The flute geometry and hardened working tip support efficient dust removal and prolonged cutting performance when used with appropriate drilling technique and equipment. Designed for percussive action, the bit maintains stability under load and provides consistent hole dimensions in typical masonry applications.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and fixing holes in concrete and reinforced concrete
• Making through-holes for pipes, conduits, and bolts in masonry walls
• Preparing holes for dowels and mechanical fasteners in brick and blockwork
• Construction and renovation jobs requiring reliable SDS+ bits

Key specifications

• Diameter: 18 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Primary material application: concrete and general masonry
• Suitable drilling method: rotary hammer (percussive drilling)
• Typical uses: anchor holes, through-holes, dowel preparation

How to use

Insert the SDS+ shank into the chuck of a compatible rotary hammer until it locks. Select the percussive drilling mode on the tool and position the bit perpendicular to the work surface. Start drilling at low speed to establish the pilot, then apply steady pressure and allow the hammer action to do the work. Withdraw the bit periodically to clear dust from the hole if drilling deep openings. Use appropriate personal protective equipment, including eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling concrete or reinforced concrete.

Usage recommendations

For best results, match drill speed and hammer setting to the material hardness; when drilling reinforced concrete, use steady pressure and avoid excessive lateral force. Clean holes before inserting anchors to ensure proper fixation. Store the bit in a dry place and inspect the tip before use; replace the bit if the cutting tip shows significant wear or chipping.
