SDS Max drills are the toughest of the heavy-duty drilling equipment, capable of drilling through masonry, brick, and other hard materials. This equipment is trusted for its strong and long-lasting performance and is designed to produce the precise amount of force and pressure required.
The SDS Max drill is powered by an internal hammer mechanism. When the drill is turned on, the hammer mechanism inside the drill drives the drill bit back and forth with the help of the piston. The drill bit is literally being hammered into the surface.
Depth Gauge
Some jobs require the use of many holes, all of which must be the same depth, making the adjustable depth gauge an essential component of the drill. Simply set to the necessary depth, and you'll have holes as good as a pro.
Quick Release Chuck
The quick-release chuck, also known as a keyless chuck, is in the front of the SDS drill. This quick-release chuck allows you to insert and remove the drill bit fast and simply. This chuck is specifically intended to prevent the drill bit from becoming loose during the drilling operation.
Ball Bearings
SDS drills employ a fast-moving piston; thus, compact ball bearings are required to reduce friction as the drill bit thrusts back and forth. These ball bearings serve to prevent wear and tear on the drill's interior workings.

FAQs
What does SDS stand for?
The SDS on an SDS drill stands for “Slotted Drive System”, “Slotted Drive Shaft” or “Special Direct System” and comes from the German phrase ‘steck, dreh, sitzt’ which translates as ‘insert, twist, fit’. Essentially, this notation describes the way that the SDS chucks and SDS drill bits work together to produce the extra torque and force and torque required to drill through these harder materials.
What are SDS drills used for?
SDS drills can be used to drill in concrete, masonry, steel, and other hard materials. They are ideal when a normal rotary drill or hammer drill does not suffice. Most SDS drills include a variety of modes. They can operate with a rotary and hammering action, a hammer-only action, or a rotary-only action. Hammer-only is usually used for demolition and breaking jobs. Rotary-only mode is used for drilling into softer materials such as wood that do not require SDS action.
Can I use normal drill bits for an SDS?
No, normal rotary drill bits cannot be used with SDS drills. Many, however, may be used with SDS chuck adaptors, which allow them to accept normal drill bits. Use an SDS drill with an adaptor and standard drill bits only in rotary mode, with the hammer action turned off.
