Craftsman Rotary Hammer Drill Bits are designed to tackle the toughest drilling tasks, particularly when it comes to concrete, masonry, and other hard materials. These specialized drill bits are engineered to work seamlessly with Craftsman’s line of powerful rotary hammer drills, providing the necessary power and precision for a wide range of construction and home improvement projects.
Technical Specifications
Cordless SDS Rotary Hammer Drill
The Craftsman V20 Cordless Brushless 1-in. Rotary Hammer (Tool Only) is a prime example of the company’s advanced rotary hammer drill technology. Featuring a brushless motor, this cordless tool delivers extended runtime and exceptional efficiency, making it a versatile choice for professionals and DIY enthusiasts alike.
The V20 Rotary Hammer boasts a 1-inch (25.4 mm) maximum drilling capacity in concrete, and its SDS-plus (Slotted Drive System) chuck allows for quick and easy bit changes. With a no-load speed of 0-1,300 RPM and a maximum impact rate of 0-5,000 BPM (Blows Per Minute), this rotary hammer drill provides the power and performance needed for demanding drilling tasks.
Drill Bits
Craftsman recommends the use of carbide-tipped drill bits for optimal performance with their rotary hammer drills. These drill bits are designed to withstand the high-impact forces and rotational stresses encountered when drilling through concrete, brick, and other masonry materials.
The carbide tips on these drill bits provide superior durability and wear resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance and consistent results. The fluted design of the drill bits also helps to efficiently clear debris and dust from the drilling hole, improving overall efficiency and reducing the risk of overheating.
Masonry Drill Bits
In addition to the general-purpose carbide drill bits, Craftsman also offers specialized masonry drill bits for use with their rotary hammer drills. These masonry drill bits are specifically engineered for drilling into concrete, stone, and other hard, dense materials.
The key difference between masonry drill bits and standard drill bits is the presence of a carbide-tipped cutting edge and a specialized flute design. The carbide tip provides enhanced durability and cutting power, while the flute design helps to efficiently remove the debris generated during the drilling process.
Masonry drill bits from Craftsman are available in a range of sizes, typically from 1/8 inch (3.175 mm) to 1/2 inch (12.7 mm) in diameter, to accommodate a variety of project requirements.
Choosing the Right Drill Bits
When selecting Craftsman Rotary Hammer Drill Bits, there are several important factors to consider:
Material
The material you’ll be drilling into is a crucial factor in choosing the right drill bits. For example, if you’re working with brick, mortar, or other masonry materials, carbide-tipped drill bits are the recommended choice for their superior durability and cutting performance.
Drill Type
It’s essential to ensure that the drill bits you select are compatible with your specific Craftsman rotary hammer drill model. While many drill bits are designed for use with both regular and hammer drills, some may be optimized for rotary hammer drills specifically.
Size
The size of the drill bits you choose should be appropriate for the task at hand. Craftsman Rotary Hammer Drill Bits are available in a range of sizes, including 5/32 inch (3.97 mm), 3/16 inch (4.76 mm), 1/4 inch (6.35 mm), 5/16 inch (7.94 mm), and 3/8 inch (9.53 mm), among others. Select the size that best suits the requirements of your project.
Additional Information
Brushless Motor Technology
Craftsman’s rotary hammer drills, including the V20 Cordless Brushless model, feature advanced brushless motor technology. Brushless motors offer several advantages over traditional brushed motors, such as:
- Increased efficiency: Brushless motors are more energy-efficient, resulting in longer runtime and reduced power consumption.
- Improved durability: Brushless motors have fewer moving parts, which translates to a longer lifespan and reduced maintenance requirements.
- Enhanced performance: Brushless motors provide more torque and power, enabling the rotary hammer drill to tackle even the most demanding drilling tasks.
Cordless Convenience
Craftsman’s cordless rotary hammer drills, such as the V20 model, offer the convenience of mobility and freedom from power cords. This makes them ideal for use in a variety of settings, from construction sites to home improvement projects, where access to a power outlet may be limited.
The V20 Cordless Brushless Rotary Hammer is powered by Craftsman’s 20V MAX* lithium-ion battery system, providing ample runtime and the flexibility to tackle multiple tasks on a single charge.
