Metallics SDS3812 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Metallics SDS3812 drill bit fit my rotary hammer?
The SDS3812 has an SDS-Plus shank, so it drops into any SDS-Plus rotary hammer (Bosch, Milwaukee, DeWalt, Hilti TE-C style chucks) with a twist and a click, no chuck key. It will not fit an SDS-Max or Spline hammer, and it should not be run in a standard keyed or keyless drill chuck.
2) What size anchor does a 3/8 inch SDS-Plus bit drill for?
The SDS3812 cuts a 3/8 inch diameter hole in concrete, block, or brick, which is the hole size called out for 3/8 inch wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, and most 3/8 inch concrete screws that specify a 3/8 inch bit. Always match the bit diameter to the anchor manufacturer's hole callout rather than the bolt thread size.
3) Which bit do electricians use for 3/8 inch strut and conduit anchors in concrete?
A 3/8 inch SDS-Plus bit is the common choice for setting strut channel, conduit straps, and pipe hangers into concrete deck or block. The Metallics SDS3812 is that diameter in a 12-1/4 inch length, which suits overhead deck work where you need reach above the ceiling grid. For surface-mounted straps on block wall, a short 3/8 inch SDS-Plus bit is less unwieldy.
4) Can I use this bit to drill through rebar?
A standard carbide-tipped SDS-Plus bit like the SDS3812 is made for concrete, block, brick, and stone. Hitting rebar will dull or chip the carbide. If you expect rebar in the path, use a rebar-cutting SDS-Plus bit or relocate the hole.
5) Is the Metallics SDS3812 sold as a single bit or in a set?
It ships as one bit, a single 3/8 inch by 12-1/4 inch SDS-Plus, packaged in a pouch. If you are stocking a van or a facilities cart and want several diameters, you order each size separately.
