    I recently used a Bosch concrete drill bit in my hammer drill to drill holes in concrete for expansion anchors, and that Bosch bit worked freaking awesome.

    Thank you for this video. This was extremely helpful to determine which drill to get. I actually had a hammer drill -SDS pro from Harbor Freight. I thought it just used 6" long bits and I need a SDS Max to get a bit longer than 12" to add extra rebar in a failing small retaining wall . Harbor Freight actually had a $20 box set of SDS Pro 14" bits from 1/4 to 5/8" . This video saved me a bunch of money. The SDS Max set-up is super nice for a contractor, but I could not justify the expense for the limited work.

    @Sparky Channel. Thanks Bill for the explanation between SDS Plus and SDS Max. Also appreciate you're always setting a example by using appropriate safety gear (safety glasses and respirator) during your demonstrations.
    Hope you and your family stay safe and well.

    I have both SDS plus and SDS Max tools and I tend to use SDS Plus up to 16 millimetres anything over 16 mm I go to SDS Max the reason for that is if I go any bigger it's a lot more work on my SDS plus drill that is probably the best gauge when to use one or the other so if you want your drills to last a long time go by that gauge

    It is quite sad for me to know that most of rotary hammer users are either ignorant or refuse to lubricate the shank part of the drill bit with a specific SDS grease, which is quite cheap and available at major hardware stores. I have sent quite a number of my company's rotary hammer to the service centre due to the drill bit holder part of those hammers being worn out and sometimes completely destroyed/torn apart.

    Given that very people probably have BOTH a SDS-Plus and SDS-Max tool, the question of which to use is somewhat moot. :-) The manual for my SDS-Max tool recommends always putting a little dab of white Lithium grease on the grooves of the bit prior to inserting them into the chuck.

      A good bit would be: Bosch 1-1/4 in. x 8 in. x 13 in. SDS-Max Speed-X Carbide Rotary Hammer Drill Bit for Concrete Drilling. You need a variable speed trigger and you need to go slow to avoid cracking the block.
