It is a little confusing using these \r\ndifferent acronyms. We sell only two types to simplify life and standardise. A choice \r\nbetween SDS-Plus for smaller applications and SDS-Max for larger applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\r\n\u003cimg alt=\"SS-Plus\" height=\"116\" src=\"images\/torkcraft\/accessories\/chucks\/sdsplus-line.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 15px\" width=\"100\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSDS-Plus\u003c\/strong\u003e \r\n– Typically used with Carbide drill bits 4mm – 28mm and thin wall carbide core bits \r\nup to 100mm. There are also several types of smaller chipping and chiselling bits \r\nthat work extremely well with standard SDS-Plus Rotary Hammers. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eYou will find the power tools often give max capacity right in their title such as 2kg \r\nor 3kg hammer or a certain Watt range. These are solid bit capacities so don’t go \r\nsticking a 30mm bit on a 2kg SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Drill, even though the bit will \r\nfit it is going to be seriously underpowered.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cimg alt=\"SDS-Max\" height=\"120\" src=\"images\/torkcraft\/accessories\/chucks\/sdsmax-line.gif\" style=\"float: left; margin-right: 15px\" width=\"100\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSDS-Max\u003c\/strong\u003e \r\n– Typically used with Carbide drill bits 12mm – 50mm and thick wall carbide core \r\nbits up to 100mm (thin wall up to 150mm). There are also many chipping, chiselling, \r\ncutting and digging bits that work well with the SDS-Max tools. Many of the demolition \r\ntools and large breakers will use the Hex shank but that is a totally different \r\njob application.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAdaptors\u003c\/strong\u003e – You can get adaptors to go from SDS-Max to Hex or vice-versa or from \r\neither size down to the smaller SDS-Plus sizes. A SDS-Plus to SDS-Max version is \r\nalso available.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eOne point that probably causes the most confusion of the different style bits, \r\nis the tool capacity rating in the machine description. For instance a manufacturer \r\n“A” has a few SDS-Plus drilling machines; one is a 18mm SDS-Plus \u0026amp; the other \r\nis a 26mm SDS-Plus. This size rating refers to the drilling diameter capacity or \r\nbasic power of the drill - not a different size SDS-Plus shanks; \u003cstrong\u003eall SDS-Plus shanks \r\nare the same\u003c\/strong\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAnother point of confusion is that there are two types of larger hammers produced \r\nby most manufacturers. \u003cstrong\u003eDemolition hammers\u003c\/strong\u003e as well as \u003cstrong\u003erotary drill hammers\u003c\/strong\u003e. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe rotary drills can almost always be used as a drill and also switched to only \r\nhammer mode for using chisels. These are also sometimes called combination drills.\r\n\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe demolition hammers on the other hand only operate in hammer mode and can’t \r\ndrill which means they are applied for a different job application. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eWhen shopping online sometimes the pictures might be the same, make sure you \r\nare getting the right unit.
