Drill Bit Smart SDS+ 16 mm for concrete, model 20-1600250

Smart SDS+ 16 mm drill bit for concrete, model 20-1600250, is a purpose-built rotary hammer accessory intended for drilling 16 mm diameter holes in concrete, brick and other masonry materials. The SDS+ shank ensures secure retention in compatible rotary hammers and enables fast, tool-free bit changes. Designed for professional and advanced DIY use, the bit is suitable for creating anchor and dowel holes as well as through-holes in building and renovation projects.

Advantages

The SDS+ connection provides reliable clamping and reduces slippage during heavy-duty drilling. The 16 mm cutting diameter offers a balance between hole size and drilling speed for common anchoring tasks. Constructed with materials and a tip geometry optimized for percussion drilling, the bit maintains drilling efficiency in concrete and masonry while minimizing breakage when used correctly. Its compatibility with standard SDS+ rotary hammers makes it a convenient choice for on-site work and rapid tool changes.

Suitable for

• Drilling 16 mm anchor and dowel holes in concrete and solid brick
• Creating through-holes for cable conduits and pipes in masonry
• Renovation and construction tasks requiring precise 16 mm holes
• Heavy-duty DIY projects with SDS+ rotary hammers

Key specifications

• Drill diameter: 16 mm
• Shank type: SDS+
• Intended material: concrete, brick and general masonry
• Tool compatibility: SDS+ rotary hammers
• Typical application: anchor, dowel and through-holes

How to use

Fit the drill bit into the SDS+ chuck of a compatible rotary hammer until it locks. Select an appropriate drilling speed and hammer setting for concrete or masonry on the tool. Start drilling with steady axial pressure, allowing the hammer action to advance the bit—do not force excessive lateral pressure. For deeper holes, periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris, which maintains cutting efficiency and reduces heat build-up. After completing the hole, release the bit from the chuck following the rotary hammer manufacturer's instructions.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling. For reinforced concrete or unexpected rebar contact, stop and inspect the bit and tool; use a suitable bit type for rebar if required. Match hole depth and diameter to anchor or dowel specifications and, where possible, clean holes before inserting fixings to ensure proper anchoring performance.
