Metallics SDS5166 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I use an SDS-Plus hammer bit like this in a standard corded drill?
No. The SDS5166 needs an SDS-Plus rotary hammer, the shank will not clamp in a three-jaw keyless or keyed chuck. If your only tool is a standard drill driver, you need a straight-shank masonry bit instead. The payoff of going to the hammer and the SDS-Plus bit is the piston action, which cuts concrete far faster than rotation alone.
2) How deep can I drill with the 6-1/4 inch SDS5166 bit?
Overall length on the SDS5166 is 6-1/4 inches, and part of that is taken up by the SDS-Plus shank seated in the chuck, so usable flute depth is shorter than the total length. It handles typical anchor embedments for strut, conduit clamps, and box mounting in a slab or wall. For through-drilling a thick slab or deep threaded-rod embedment, step up to a longer 5/16 inch SDS-Plus bit.
3) Is the Metallics SDS5166 sold as a single bit or a multi-pack?
One bit per pouch. The SDS5166 ships as a single 5/16 inch by 6-1/4 inch SDS-Plus bit in a pouch pack, so if you are stocking a van or a maintenance shop you will be ordering by the piece rather than by the set.
4) Is this bit meant for concrete or can I drill steel and wood with it?
Masonry only. A hammer drill bit of this type is built for concrete, block, brick, and mortar, where the hammering action does the work. Drilling steel or wood with it will dull the carbide and give a ragged hole, use twist bits for metal and auger or spade bits for wood.
