Drill America SDS5818 5/8" x 18" SDS-Plus Hammer Bit

SKU CH-EE67-365KX

SDS-Plus hammer bit drills stone and concrete with a carbide tip for wear resistance and a steel shank for toughness

  • Designed for stone and concrete drilling
  • Carbide tip resists wear during heavy use
  • Steel shank adds toughness for durability
  • SDS-Plus shank fits compatible rotary hammers
  • Auto-welded on precision German and Swiss equipment

SDS-Plus Hammer Bit for Concrete

The Drill America SDS5818 is a carbide-tipped drill bit built for stone and concrete. Its SDS-Plus shank fits only SDS-Plus rotary hammers. The 5/8 inch by 18 inch dimensions suit deep-hole applications in masonry.

Shank Compatibility and Build Fit

An SDS-Plus rotary hammer is required; the bit will not work with standard drill chucks or SDS-Max machines. The auto-welded construction on German and Swiss equipment delivers a strong joint between the steel shank and Japanese carbide tip. This design frees the operator from frequent bit changes in hard aggregate.

Sustained Drilling Behaviour

Carbide cutting edges resist wear during extended runs in abrasive material. The steel body absorbs impact energy without deforming under continuous hammering. California Proposition 65 warnings apply because the product contains chemicals known to cause cancer and reproductive harm.

Questions about this item

How deep can the 18-inch SDS5818 bit drill before the flute length limits debris removal?

The 18-inch overall length allows deep holes in concrete or stone, and the flute design clears dust continuously during sustained hammer drilling.

Does the carbide tip on the SDS5818 run hot or draw more power during all-day use?

The premium carbide tip resists wear and heat buildup, while the SDS-Plus shank transfers impact efficiently to reduce motor strain on compatible rotary hammers.

Which rotary hammer chuck is required for the SDS5818 to engage properly?

An SDS-Plus chuck is required; the bit will not fit SDS-Max, spline or standard three-jaw chucks.
