Product Information
Full details
The AB Tools SDS Chuck Adapter is an essential accessory for tradespeople and DIY enthusiasts who need to expand the utility of their SDS hammer drills. This high-strength tool allows you to mount a standard 1/2-inch or 13mm drill chuck onto an SDS Plus drill, enabling the use of conventional straight-shank drill bits for woodworking or masonry tasks. While it drastically increases versatility, it is important to note that it should not be used in 'hammer mode' as doing so can damage the adapter or the chuck.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, first ensure the SDS Plus shank is free of debris. Insert the adapter into your drill's SDS chuck until it clicks into place. Next, thread your 1/2-inch drill chuck onto the adapter's male thread by turning it clockwise until seated. Insert the provided locking screw into the chuck's interior (typically left-hand threaded) and tighten firmly with a screwdriver.
To care for your adapter, wipe it down with an oily rag after use to prevent oxidation, especially if used in damp environments. Periodically check the locking screw for tightness during prolonged usage to maintain safety.
