Drill bit for concrete Smart SDS+ 12 mm, model 20-1200160

Concrete drill bit Smart SDS+ 12 mm (model 20-1200160) is designed for use with SDS+ rotary hammers. With a 12 mm diameter and hardened carbide tip, this drill bit is intended for drilling into concrete, masonry and natural stone. The SDS+ shank provides secure engagement with compatible rotary hammers and enables fast, tool-free bit changes, helping to maintain drilling efficiency on construction and installation jobs.

Advantages

The Smart SDS+ 12 mm drill bit combines a robust carbide cutting tip and a shank profile optimized for impact drilling. Its construction ensures stable centring and reduced walking when starting holes, while heat-treated steel increases resistance to wear during repetitive drilling. The SDS+ connection reduces play in the drill chuck and simplifies replacement of bits, improving workflow on job sites that use rotary hammers.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete for anchors and fasteners
• Creating passage holes through masonry and brick
• Installing electrical boxes and conduits in solid walls
• General repair and maintenance tasks requiring reliable impact drilling

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 12 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Intended material: concrete, masonry, natural stone
• Tip material: carbide-tipped for enhanced cutting and wear resistance
• Suitable tool type: SDS+ rotary hammer

How to use

Select an SDS+ rotary hammer compatible with a 12 mm bit and set the tool to the hammer-drilling mode. Insert the drill bit into the chuck until it locks with the SDS+ engagement. Position the tip on the marked drilling point and apply steady axial pressure while letting the hammer action and rotation do the cutting. Withdraw the bit occasionally to clear dust and debris from the hole and to avoid overheating. For deeper holes, remove debris more frequently to maintain drilling efficiency.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling in concrete. For best results, choose drill speeds and hammering force recommended by the rotary hammer manufacturer and replace the bit when wear reduces drilling performance.
