SDS Max demolition bits are built for heavy breaking and chiselling work where standard accessories will not last. They are designed to handle high-impact force when working through concrete, brick, and stone.
The 18mm SDS Max shank allows solid power transfer from larger rotary hammers and breakers. This means more energy reaches the tip with each strike. An SDS chisel bit in this format is made for demanding jobs where material needs to be removed quickly and consistently.
On site, SDS Max demolition bits are used anywhere material needs to be broken out or stripped back.
They are commonly used for removing concrete slabs, opening up walls, and breaking through masonry during renovations. In civil and electrical work, they are used to trench through hard surfaces to access services below.
They also come into play when stripping tiles, removing render, or cleaning down surfaces before new work begins. The high-impact action makes it easier to break through dense material without relying on cutting alone.
In demolition work, that extra force is what keeps the job moving. The right SDS chisel bit helps reduce time on each section and keeps the process more controlled.
SDS Max demolition bits are often used alongside SDS Plus drill bits, concrete saws, M class vacuum cleaner dust extractors, and H class vacuum cleaner dust extractors when preparing or clearing work areas.
Different bit shapes suit different types of work.
Pointed chisels are used to break and fracture hard material. Flat chisels are better for general removal and shaping. Wide scaling chisels cover more surface area, which makes them useful for removing tiles, adhesive, or render.
Most SDS Max demolition bits are made from high-grade alloy steel. This helps them handle constant impact without losing strength. Heat treatment processes also improve durability and help the bit resist wear.
Some designs include self-sharpening profiles. These help maintain performance over time by reducing the need for frequent reworking. A well-designed SDS chisel bit will keep cutting effectively even after extended use.
Looking after the bit helps maintain performance and extends its life.
Apply grease to the SDS Max shank before use
Check for mushrooming at the tip
Watch for signs of overheating or discolouration
Keep locking grooves clean
Use the correct bit length for the job
Lubrication reduces wear between the bit and the tool holder. It also helps prevent binding during operation.
Over time, the tip can deform or blunt. Catching this early helps avoid further damage and keeps the tool working efficiently.
Using the right bit length also matters. A bit that is too long can introduce extra vibration, which affects both control and tool life.
