• Concrete and reinforced concrete (rebar awareness required)
• Solid brick and engineering brick
• Concrete blocks and lightweight blocks
• Natural stone and masonry (within hardness limits)

The SDS+ shank (10mm nominal with drive slots) is compatible with virtually all SDS+ rotary hammer drills from major brands. It allows the bit to slide back and forth under the hammer action while remaining positively locked, resulting in efficient impact transfer and reduced bit slippage compared with standard cylindrical shanks.

Each bit features a tungsten carbide-tipped cutting head designed to withstand the impact forces of hammer drilling. Depending on the specific size and pattern, heads are typically 2-cutter (cross‑tip) for general masonry drilling, providing a reliable balance of speed, durability and hole quality.

The spiral flute geometry is optimised to evacuate drilling dust and debris efficiently from the hole, reducing friction, heat build‑up and the risk of jamming. This ensures faster progress and extended bit life, especially in deeper holes.

Abracs SDS+ masonry bits are supplied in a broad range of diameters and lengths suitable for everything from small plug holes to deep anchor and through‑fixings. They are widely used by electricians, plumbers, builders, heating engineers, shopfitters and maintenance teams.

Typical Use Cases

• Drilling plug and screw holes in brick, block and concrete for fixings.
• Creating anchor and shield anchor holes for heavy‑duty fixings.
• Drilling clearance holes for pipe clips, cable trays and trunking.
• Running pipe and cable routes through walls and floors (with appropriate diameter/length).
• General construction, refurbishment and maintenance drilling in masonry.

Installation & Best Practice Tips

1. Select the correct diameter & length:
   • Match bit diameter to the plug, anchor or fixing manufacturer’s recommendation.
   • Use a bit with sufficient working length to achieve the required embedment depth.
2. Use an SDS+ rotary hammer drill: These bits are designed for SDS+ hammer drills only – do not use in standard 3‑jaw chuck drills without an appropriate SDS+ adaptor.
3. Set the correct mode:
   • Use hammer + rotary mode for most masonry drilling.
   • Use rotary only if drilling fragile masonry or tiles with minimal impact.
4. Start square to the surface: Hold the drill perpendicular (90°) to the surface to reduce bit wandering and produce a straight hole.
5. Use moderate pressure: Let the drill and bit do the work – apply firm, consistent pressure but do not force the bit.
6. Clear dust from deep holes: For deeper drilling, periodically withdraw the bit to help clear dust, improving speed and reducing heat.
7. Avoid prolonged contact with rebar: These bits are for masonry – drilling through reinforcing steel can damage the tip. If you hit rebar, stop and switch to a suitable metal drill or rebar cutter per site method statement.

Always wear appropriate PPE – safety glasses, ear protection, dust mask and gloves – and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer’s safety instructions.

Frequently Asked Questions – Abracs SDS+ Masonry Drill Bits

1. What is the difference between SDS+ and SDS Max?

SDS+ bits have a smaller shank (about 10mm) and are used with light to medium‑duty rotary hammer drills. SDS Max bits have a larger shank and are for heavy‑duty demolition and drilling hammers. Abracs SDS+ masonry bits are for SDS+ drills only and are not compatible with SDS Max machines.

2. Can I use these bits in a standard 3‑jaw chuck drill?

Not directly. SDS+ bits are designed for SDS+ chucks. To use them with a standard drill, you would need an SDS+ adaptor, but you will not achieve the same hammer performance as a true SDS+ rotary hammer drill.

3. Are these bits suitable for reinforced concrete?

They are suitable for drilling concrete, but repeated or prolonged contact with reinforcing steel (rebar) can damage the carbide tip. If you hit rebar, stop and use a metal drill or rebar‑rated solution as specified by your method statement.

4. Which diameter should I use for wall plugs?

Match the drill bit size to the plug manufacturer’s recommendation (for example: 6mm bit for red plugs, 7mm for brown, 8mm for some heavy‑duty plugs – always check the plug packaging).

5. How do I extend bit life?

Use an appropriate SDS+ hammer drill, avoid over‑heating (clear dust from deep holes), don’t force the bit, and avoid extended contact with steel reinforcement. Store bits dry and free from corrosion when not in use.

Abracs SDS+ Masonry Drill Bits Common Uses / How to Use

Common Uses

• Drilling plug and screw holes for brackets, shelves and fixings.
• Forming anchor holes for heavy‑duty bolts and through‑bolts.
• Installing pipe clips, cable trays, trunking and channel on masonry walls and ceilings.
• Running service penetrations for pipes and conduits (with larger / longer bits).
• General construction and refurbishment drilling in masonry.

How to Use – Step‑By‑Step Summary

1. Select size: Choose the bit diameter and length to suit your plug/fixing and required depth.
2. Fit the bit: Insert the SDS+ shank into the drill’s SDS+ chuck until it clicks and locks in place.
3. Set mode: Set the drill to hammer + rotary mode for masonry.
4. Mark and start: Mark the hole position; hold the drill square to the surface and start at low speed to avoid wandering.
5. Drill the hole: Increase speed and apply steady pressure, periodically withdrawing the bit on deeper holes to clear dust.
6. Check depth: Use the drill’s depth stop or tape on the bit to reach the correct embedment depth.
7. Clean the hole: After drilling, blow out or brush dust from the hole before installing plugs or anchors.
