DEWALT SDS+ Hammer Bit, Rock Carbide, 1-1/8-Inch x 16-Inch x 18-Inch (DW5469)

It's a huge drill bit and works exactly as expected. It went through plaster and multiple rows of bricks with ease.

This thing is one heavy duty beast of a bit. It is well made and I expect to drill many more holes with it during its lifetime. The only downside of it has nothing to do with its construction, and everything to do with its size: this bit requires a serious hammer drill behind it if you want to get thru concrete more quickly. A regular Bulldog Xtreme drill will easily get you thru brick and block with no problem, but be prepared to spend a little more time than you do with a 1/2" bit when drilling thru poured concrete. If you need to do it often, it's probably worth picking up a heftier hammer drill. Aside from the physics associated with cutting thru a lot of material, this is a great product.

OK, that may be a bit much, but MAN this thing is a beast! I used it to drill a few holes through the concrete wall between my living room and garage to route multimedia wires. Don't even bother going to the Home Stores for something like this—it'll be theee times the price. This worked flawlessly and, per the title, institutes (or reinstitutes) any loss of manhood you may (or may not ;-) have. But seriously, highly recommend.

good quality and did the job

This masonry bit is awesome good for the price. Went through poured concrete cinder block faster than I expected. This is the biggest size drill bit for sds hammerdrills 1 1/8" good for 3/4" emt glad I got it. Some idiot gave it 1 star cause it didnt drill wood. It's a masonry bit not designed for wood. Shouldn't give a bad review because you don't know what tools are for what.

Needed to drill two holes through 8" concrete foundation for hose bibs. Started with a 5/8" hole and followed with this. 2 holes, twenty minutes max. This it a very good bit. The one I received was manufactured in Germany.

What a bit to say the least. Went through concrete wall like butter. Thank you for a good product.

Used this bit to drill through solid concrete to fill with ecobust. Worked GREAT and you can't beat the price. Saved me lots of money.

Obviously when you start getting into the larger SDS style bits its hard to find the "Plus" series in the larger sizes as they usually become SDS Max size collets which is totally understandable. If you have a high quality SDS Plus drill, you can get away with larger bits. This is one of the larger style SDS Plus bits I could find that works perfect for running 3/4" conduit thru concrete with a little room to spare. Definitely a quality bit, and will last a lifetime.

Great bit. It makes easy work through brick and concrete. I use it for running gas lines from inside/outside to outside/inside.

It might be related to the power for drills using this type shank but it takes forever to drill in bedrock. I gave up after about 2inches. I also accidentally bought x2 of these so now I’ve got two neat paperweights. I’d guess it might work well in something easier like concrete.

Like butter. Got a hole through concrete basement wall in no time. Electricity to the new garage now.

SDS plus as advertised... I bought this bit to install frost free hose connections and it’s the perfect size
