SDS Plus Rotary Hammers and Bits

45 products

SDS Plus is a quick-release shank used on rotary hammers and drill bits for drilling concrete, brick and masonry: the bit is inserted without a chuck and is free to slide, so the rotary hammer can work in hammering mode. This collection brings together the machines and accessories with this shank.

What you will find in the collection

  • SDS Plus rotary hammers: corded and cordless Milwaukee models, also with dust extraction units and multi-mode functions.
  • SDS Plus drill bits: bits for drilling building materials, such as the SPIT ones.
  • Adaptors: accessories with SDS Plus shank, such as Fischer setting adaptors.

How to choose

Choose the rotary hammer according to the diameter of the holes you need to drill, the use (occasional or continuous) and corded or cordless. For drill bits, check the diameter and usable length against the depth of the hole. Brands included: Milwaukee, SPIT and Fischer.

Items are supplied on a quote basis: tell us the product, quantity and intended use and we will reply with the most suitable proposal, stating availability, delivery times and supply terms.

Frequently asked questions: SDS Plus Rotary Hammers and Bits
What is the difference between an SDS Plus and an SDS Max hammer drill?

SDS Plus is a smaller fitting, designed for medium-power hammer drills and holes of limited diameter. SDS Max has a larger fitting, for more powerful machines and work on reinforced concrete. Accessories are not interchangeable without a dedicated adaptor, so always check the machine's fitting.

Do I need a cordless or a corded hammer drill for the building site?

The corded hammer drill has constant power and unlimited run time, suited to long or fixed jobs. The cordless one offers freedom of movement and works where there is no mains power, with the limit of battery life. Choose according to the type of job, the length of the working day and the availability of power sockets.

What do the hammer drill modes mean: rotation, hammering and chiselling?

The three-mode hammer drill combines rotation only for wood and metal, rotation with hammering for concrete, and hammering only for chiselling. The two-mode model, like some Milwaukee versions, offers drilling and hammer drilling. Select the mode according to the material and switch off the hammering when it is not needed.

How do I choose the right SDS Plus bit?

The SDS Plus bit should be chosen according to the material: for masonry and concrete you need bits with a carbide tip. The diameter must match the wall plug or the hole to be made. A set of bits and chisels covers more jobs with a single kit, but check that the fitting is SDS Plus.

What is a chuck with an SDS Plus fitting used for?

A chuck with an SDS Plus fitting lets you fit round-shank bits to a hammer drill, which is useful for drilling wood or metal. For masonry with hammering it is better to use dedicated SDS bits, because the chuck does not withstand impacts well. Check that the fitting matches that of the machine.

How do I use an SDS Plus hammer drill safely?

Wear safety glasses and hearing protection, because the hammer drill produces dust and noise. Use dust extraction when available, as on models with an extraction unit, to reduce silica dust. Where dust remains, respiratory protection is also needed. Keep the machine straight, without forcing, and let the hammer action do the work.

Who uses SDS Plus hammer drills on site and at home?

Electricians, plumbers, air-conditioning installers and shelf fitters use them to drill concrete and masonry. Carpenters use chiselling hammers for light demolition and repair work. DIY enthusiasts also use them to fix wall plugs in solid walls.
