FAQs

What is the difference between SDS Max and SDS Plus hammer drill? ›

SDS Plus have a 10mm shank, while the SDS Max has an 18mm. This means that SDS Max bits have an increased capability for tougher masonry work, withstanding more torque and force. The SDS Plus range is shorter in length and is tailored to lighter duty work and smaller diameter holes.

The SDS plus Adapter is highly robust and is specially designed to withstand the high power of rotary hammers. S2 Modified Steel and an optimised heat-treatment process provide extra endurance for high performance. Extremely sturdy for long-lasting work and ideal for heavy-duty screw-driving.

You should not use SDS bits in a standard drill. The chuck on a standard rotary or hammer drill is not designed for them. Standard bits can come loose, damage the drill and affect the quality of your work.

However, SDS drills are more powerful than the standard hammer drill, making them well suited to more heavy-duty drilling applications. The two terms are sometimes used interchangeably, but if you need a drill for use with tough materials like concrete and masonry, an SDS drill will be the best option.

SDS Plus drill bits are thinner and smaller compared to SDS Max bits. These bits have two open grooves and two closed grooves. Locking balls are attached to the grooves. These bits are interchangeable with SDS drill bits and are available in a variety of sizes.

SDS is short for Slotted Drive Shaft or Slotted Drive System. These drills are typically used for heavy-duty drilling into materials such as brick, stone, concrete and other types of masonry. Unlike regular drills, they have a unique design that provides a high level of power during drilling.

SDS is simply the bit retention system — or how the bit is held in the drill. There is some debate as to what the "SDS" acronym stands for. The original German interpretation was "Steck-Dreh-Sitz" meaning Insert-Twist-Stay. As the bit evolved, it has come to be known as a Slotted Drive System or Slotted Drive Shaft.

SDS and SDS plus are 10 mm diameter - and interchangeable. SDS Max is for heavier work, with 4 times the cross section shank. Really I would suggest using SDS Max on the larger projects where you are doing some Demo.

A: SDS and SDS Plus are interchangeable. The difference is that SDS Plus have 4 splines in the shank that hold it more securely. Both are 10mm shank size. SDS Max is 18mm shank size, so SDS Max bits are not interchangeable with SDS or SDS Plus.

The shortest SDS-plus masonry drill bits are about 110 mm overall length, and the longest 1500 mm. SDS-max is more common for larger rotary hammers and chipping guns, and common sizes start at 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) diameter up to 1 3⁄4 inches (44 mm) diameter. Standard lengths are 12 to 21 inches (300 to 530 mm).

What is SDS Max drill used for? ›

SDS-Max bits are carbide-tipped bits used for drilling holes in concrete, brick or block base material. The tip of the bit is made out of carbide. The SDS-Max carbide-tipped bits are used in large electro-pneumatic hammer drills. The SDS-Max bits are attached to the electro-pneumatic hammer drill via a keyless chuck.
