Metallics SDS1229SPD – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics SDS1229SPD bit fit my rotary hammer, or do I need an SDS-Max tool?
The SDS1229SPD uses an SDS-Plus shank, so it drops into any SDS-Plus rotary hammer chuck. It will not fit an SDS-Max tool. SDS-Plus is the 10mm shank with the two open slots and two closed slots found on the small and mid-size hammers most electricians carry; SDS-Max is the larger 18mm shank on demolition-class hammers and needs its own bits or an adapter.
2) How deep can I actually drill with the 29 inch Metallics SDS-Plus bit?
Overall length is 29 inches, and that includes the shank that sits inside the chuck, so usable drilling depth is somewhat less than 29 inches. It is a long-reach bit meant for through-drilling thick concrete walls, floors and decks, or for reaching into a bay from one side rather than drilling anchor holes.
3) Is a 1/2 inch SDS-Plus bit the right size for 1/2 inch wedge anchors or threaded rod?
Yes for 1/2 inch wedge anchors and sleeve anchors in concrete, which are drilled with a 1/2 inch bit because the anchor body matches the hole diameter. The SDS1229SPD is a 1/2 inch diameter bit. For 1/2 inch threaded rod set in adhesive, the hole is normally larger than the rod, so check the epoxy manufacturer's hole size before using this one.
4) Can I use this SDS-Plus hammer bit on rebar or steel?
No. The SDS1229SPD is a carbide-tipped masonry style hammer bit for concrete, block and brick in rotary hammer mode. Hitting rebar will chip the tip; if your layout crosses reinforcing, switch to a rebar cutter or relocate the hole. For holes in steel, use a twist bit or step bit in a standard drill, not an SDS-Plus hammer bit.
5) How many bits come in the Metallics SDS1229SPD, and how is it packaged?
One bit per pouch. The SDS1229SPD ships as a single piece in a pouch, not a multi-size set, so order the quantity you need for the crew rather than expecting spares in the pack.
6) What is the Metallics part number to reorder this long SDS-Plus bit?
Order it as Metallics SDS1229SPD. That number covers the 1/2 inch diameter, 29 inch SDS-Plus hammer bit, one per pouch, and is the single model offered under it.
