SDS+ Drill Bits
SDS drill bits are made for hammer drilling into brick, concrete, stone and other masonry. SDS Plus shanks lock into rotary hammer drills for safe, high-impact drilling that cuts fast and clears debris as it goes.
What Are SDS Drill Bits Used For?
The go-to for most trade fix-down jobs:
- Fixings & Anchors – SDS bits sized to match plugs, shields, bolts and chemical anchors
- Service Install – Drill through walls and floors for pipework and cable runs
- Masonry Fastening – Drill brick and blockwork cleanly for quick fastening
- Rebar Hitting – Multi-cutter bits for light embedded metal and clean edge breaks
Used By:
- Builders, electricians and pipe installers
- Maintenance teams and shopfitters
- Any trades drilling into concrete or brick
Choosing the Right SDS Bit
Bit length, head design and material rating all matter:
1. Length
Standard bits are 110–210mm. Use 450mm+ for through drilling or embedded fixing work.
2. Cutter Head
2-cutter for basic brickwork. 4-cutter or multi-cutter for concrete and rebar. Tungsten carbide tipped for longevity.
3. Shank Type
All drill bits here are SDS Plus — suitable for most rotary hammer drills with a 10mm locking chuck.

SDS Drill Bit FAQs
Will these fit my SDS drill?
If your drill is SDS Plus, yes — all these bits have the standard 10mm SDS Plus shank and locking grooves.
Can I drill through rebar?
Only with reinforced 4-cutter or multi-cutter heads. Standard bits may stall or fracture on steel reinforcement.
Are these suitable for cordless drills?
Only for cordless SDS Plus hammer drills. These bits won't fit regular keyless chucks without adaptors.
What’s the best bit for concrete?
4-cutter SDS Plus bits with quad flutes and TCT heads — look for Bosch SDS-5X, Milwaukee MX4 or DeWalt Extreme series.
