Tomax SDS Plus Concrete Drill Bit 8x160 mm

Tomax SDS Plus Concrete Drill Bit 8x160 mm;

The Tomax SDS Plus Concrete Drill Bit 8x160 mm allows you to work 50mm (5 cm) deeper than the 8x110 size. It is a professional accessory designed for precise drilling operations, especially in concrete, brick, stone, and other hard building materials, at shallow and standard depths. With an 8 mm diameter and 160 mm total length, it is one of the most frequently used sizes in electrical, plumbing, and installation work. The SDS Plus connection system provides a fast and secure connection to compatible rotary hammer drills (Hilti), offering maximum impact energy transfer.

User Information and Technical Specifications

This product is ideal for professional tradespeople (electricians, plumbers, installation teams) and DIY/renovation users working in situations where drilling depth is limited or short holes are required.

Material Properties and Structure

Tomax SDS Plus drill bits are specially manufactured to offer durability, efficiency, and a long lifespan in demanding drilling conditions:

Cutting Tip (Carbide Tip): The product features a 2-flute, 2-carbide tip. The most important component, the tip, is typically made of a high-grade material for excellent wear and impact resistance. This hardened tip ensures long-lasting sharpness against the hardness of concrete and stone.

SDS Plus Connection System: The special flutes and locking grooves on the part of the bit that goes into the drill allow for quick, tool-free, and full power transfer connection to the drill. This system maximizes the efficiency of the hammer action.

Spiral Flute Design (Helix): The specially shaped flutes on the drill body are designed to rapidly remove dust and debris from the hole during drilling. This quick removal prevents clogging, reduces friction and overheating, thereby increasing both drilling speed and the lifespan of the bit.

Application Areas and Sectors

Tomax 7x160 mm SDS Plus drill bit is a standard size for drilling 8 mm diameter holes and is ideal for short, shallow drilling tasks:

Wall Drilling: For drilling holes to install 8 mm anchors for cable conduits, socket/switch boxes, and lighting fixtures.

Plumbing and Ventilation: For securing small diameter pipe clamps, hangers, and sensors to concrete, brick, or stone walls.

Assembly and Renovation Work: For drilling short-distance anchor holes required for mounting decorative or functional items such as lightweight shelves, brackets, and picture frames on walls.

General construction and renovation work, small-diameter anchoring applications.

Usable Surfaces: Concrete, brick, pumice, aerated concrete, natural stone, and tile.

Important Notes

Working Length: For a total length of 160 mm, the effective drilling depth (working length) is generally around 110 mm. This is ideal for short and shallow holes.

Drilling and Rebar: Standard two-cutter bits may experience a loss of performance or damage when encountering steel rebar in reinforced concrete structures. For drilling heavily reinforced concrete, it is recommended to use specially designed 4-cutter (quadro) or multi-bladed bits.
