Drill Bit Smart SDS+ 6 mm for Concrete, model 21-0600160

The Smart SDS+ 6 mm carbide-tipped drill bit is designed for drilling clean, precise holes in concrete and masonry. Compatible with SDS+ rotary hammers, this 6 mm masonry bit provides a secure shank fit and carbide tip hardness optimized for drilling into concrete, brick and similar materials. The bit is suitable for both professional and DIY applications where stable, repeatable drilling performance is required.

Advantages

The carbide tip improves wear resistance and extends service life compared with standard steel bits. The SDS+ shank design ensures quick, tool-free bit changes and stable engagement in compatible rotary hammers. The 6 mm diameter enables compact anchor and dowel holes while allowing for high drilling speed in typical concrete and masonry materials.

Suitable for

• Drilling through concrete for anchors and fixings
• Creating holes in brick, aerated concrete and blockwork
• Preparatory drilling for installation of fasteners and dowels
• Professional trade and home renovation projects requiring precise small-diameter holes

Key specifications

• Tip material: carbide-tipped for improved durability
• Shank type: SDS+ compatible shank for rotary hammers
• Nominal diameter: 6 mm suitable for small anchors and fasteners
• Primary use: concrete and masonry drilling
• Typical application range: anchor holes, dowel installation, preparatory masonry work

How to use

Insert the SDS+ shank fully into the compatible rotary hammer chuck until it locks. Select the rotary hammer hammering mode for masonry drilling and set an appropriate speed/impact setting according to the tool manufacturer’s guidelines. Position the bit perpendicular to the work surface and apply steady, moderate pressure; do not force the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and debris from the hole to maintain drilling efficiency and reduce heat build-up. Use personal protective equipment including eye protection, hearing protection and a dust mask when drilling concrete or masonry.

Usage recommendations

For optimal lifespan and hole quality, use the Smart SDS+ 6 mm bit with a rotary hammer rated for masonry work, avoid excessive axial force, and clear dust frequently. For reinforced concrete, verify reinforcement location before drilling and consider using a reduced feed rate or a dedicated rebar-cutting solution if reinforcement is encountered.
