Concrete SDS+ Drill Bit Verto 18 mm (model 60H644)

The Concrete SDS+ Drill Bit Verto 18 mm is designed for use with SDS+ rotary hammer drills to create clean, precise holes in concrete, masonry and other hard building materials. With an 18 mm diameter, the bit balances drilling speed and hole size for common construction tasks such as anchor installation, fixing fixtures and creating service penetrations for electrical or plumbing lines. The flute geometry and hardened tip are engineered for efficient dust removal and sustained cutting performance under impact drilling conditions.

Advantages

The SDS+ shank ensures secure, wobble-free fitment in compatible rotary hammers and enables rapid bit changes. A hardened carbide tip improves wear resistance and penetration into reinforced concrete and dense masonry. Optimised flute design promotes fast chip evacuation, reducing heat buildup and preserving drilling speed. The combination of robust materials and manufacturing tolerances provides consistent hole diameter and extended service life during repetitive professional or DIY use.

Suitable for

• Drilling anchor and fixing holes in concrete and masonry
• Creating penetrations for electrical conduit and plumbing
• Installing fixtures such as shelves, brackets and supports
• General construction and renovation where impact drilling into hard substrates is required

Key specifications

• Shank system: SDS+
• Drill diameter: 18 mm
• Intended material: concrete, masonry and similar hard substrates
• Tip material: carbide-tipped for improved wear resistance
• Flute design: optimised for chip removal during impact drilling

How to use

Fit the SDS+ shank into the rotary hammer’s chuck until it locks. Mark the drilling point and, if necessary, start with a low rotation speed or pilot punch to position the bit. Use hammer drilling mode for concrete and masonry, applying steady axial pressure without forcing the bit. Periodically withdraw the bit to clear dust and reduce heat. For through-holes, finish with a controlled breakthrough to avoid spalling around the hole edge.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment such as safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask when drilling. Match the rotary hammer power and hammering rate to the bit size and material hardness; for larger diameters like 18 mm, a medium- to high-power SDS+ rotary hammer is recommended. For reinforced concrete, use controlled pressure and let the carbide tip do the cutting to extend bit life.
