SDS Max

Look for a kit that includes SDS-Max core cutters, chisels, and drill bits designed for concrete, plus rotary hammers with multiple modes. For example, you’ll see core cutters with diameters up to 45 mm and chisels sized around 18 × 400 mm. Power ratings around 1100 to 1500 watts and impact energies in the 7.9 to 14 joules range indicate suitability for heavy-duty drilling and chiseling tasks.

Core cutters are used to drill holes in concrete, while chisels are used to break or shape material after the hole is made. Core cutters focus on removing material to create openings, whereas chisels carve and break up concrete or masonry. Both tool types are compatible with SDS-Max rotary hammers, but they serve distinct phases of a drilling or demolition job.

For drilling into concrete, start with an SDS-Max core cutter sized to your hole requirement for efficient material removal. For demolition or shaping, switch to an SDS-Max chisel to strike and break apart the material. In professional kits both types are included to cover a full workflow from boring to finishing. Compatibility with your hammer is essential to ensure proper function.

Always wear safety glasses, hearing protection, and gloves, and use a dust mask when drilling concrete. Secure the workpiece firmly, keep a firm stance, and avoid forcing the hammer. Check the bit and chuck for secure fit before operation, and follow the manufacturer’s guidance for speed and impact settings to prevent kickback or bit damage.

SDS-Max tools commonly include cores and chisels in diameters from about 18 mm up to 45 mm, with rotary hammers rated around 1100–1500 watts. Impact energies typically range from roughly 7.9 to 14 joules, which supports heavy-duty drilling and chiseling. These specs indicate a professional-grade setup capable of handling demanding concrete work in construction or renovation projects.

Yes, SDS-Max tools are designed for professional use, delivering high power, durability, and reliable performance under heavy-duty drilling and demolition tasks. When paired with robust core cutters and chisels, these tools enable efficient progress on large-scale concrete projects and frequent site-duty applications.
