Product Information

Full details

The Alpen SDS+ Drill Bit is a high-performance tool engineered for construction professionals and serious DIY enthusiasts who require precision drilling in concrete and masonry. Its primary benefit is the two-cutting-edge geometry that delivers efficient material removal and consistent speed, though users should note it is specifically designed for rotary hammer drills with SDS+ chuck systems and is not suitable for standard keyless or keyed chucks.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this bit in a standard 13mm power drill?

No, this bit is designed specifically for SDS+ chuck systems and will not fit a standard 3-jaw drill chuck.

Is this drill bit suitable for drilling through steel?

No, this bit is specialized for concrete and masonry. Using it on metal will quickly ruin the carbide tip.

How do I know when the bit needs replacing?

You should replace the bit if the carbide cutting edge appears rounded, chipped, or if you notice a significant decrease in drilling speed.

What is the working length of this bit?

The bit is 210mm in total length, which provides significant reach for deep anchor points.

Should I use water to cool the bit while drilling?

While not strictly necessary for masonry bits, keeping the bit clean and allowing it to cool between deep holes is recommended for longevity.

Troubleshooting

Bit slipping in the chuck

Ensure the SDS+ shank is fully inserted and the locking mechanism of the drill has clicked into the locked position.

Excessive heat during drilling

Reduce downward pressure and occasionally pull the bit out of the hole while the drill is running to clear debris from the flutes.

Bit struggling to penetrate concrete

Check that the rotary hammer drill is set to the correct hammer-drill function and ensure the bit tip is not dulled.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable build quality for heavy-duty use
  • Efficient dust and debris removal
  • High-speed drilling performance in concrete
  • Standardized SDS+ fitment ensures compatibility

Cons

  • Not intended for drilling through metal or wood
  • Requires an SDS+ compatible rotary hammer drill
  • Not suitable for standard drill chucks

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the drill bit, insert the SDS+ shank into the rotary hammer's chuck until it clicks into place. Ensure the tool is unplugged or the battery is removed during this process. For compatibility, this bit works exclusively with SDS+ drill systems; it will not fit standard 3-jaw drill chucks found on most consumer hand drills. After use, inspect the carbide tip for signs of heat damage or excessive wear. Clean the flute of any residual masonry dust before storage to prevent corrosion and maintain optimal performance for your next project.
