3/16″ PENETRATOR DRILL BIT FOR CONCRETE AND STEEL/REBAR

3/16″ SDS-Plus Penetrator Drill Bit for Reinforced Concrete

The 3/16″ SDS-Plus Penetrator drills through concrete and embedded steel without requiring you to stop and change bits. It is engineered for reinforced concrete, rebar, steel decking, masonry, and stone where conventional carbide masonry bits struggle or fail.

A solid cross-head configuration combines laser-welded micrograin carbide with reinforced cutting flanks for excellent cutting strength and durability. The multi-cutter design distributes drilling forces across the head for smoother operation, reduced noise, and significantly lower hand-arm vibration.

Drills Concrete and Embedded Steel

The Penetrator allows uninterrupted drilling through:

• Reinforced concrete
• Embedded rebar
• Concrete over steel decking
• Concrete block and masonry
• Brick
• Natural stone

High-Performance Carbide Head

• Solid cross-head cutting configuration
• Laser-welded micrograin carbide
• Reinforced carbide cutting flanks
• Multi-cutter head for smoother drilling
• Reduced hand-arm vibration
• Low-noise cutting design
• Excellent performance in concrete and stone
• Made in Germany

Fast Dust Evacuation

The generous high-helix flute entrance quickly moves concrete dust and drilling debris away from the carbide head. Its Sub-Trac spiral flute design helps prevent vacuum blowback while maintaining efficient dust evacuation throughout the hole.

What to Expect in Rebar

• Concrete drills fast. When it hits steel it slows down. Keep steady pressure and it will break through.
• Back out to clear the hole and let it cool. Never cool it with water.
• Check with the engineer before cutting structural rebar.

Available Lengths

LOC = Length of Cut | OAL = Overall Length

Operating Instructions

Use with an SDS-Plus rotary hammer in hammer-drill mode. When the drill bit encounters rebar or steel, maintain firm, steady pressure and allow the carbide cutting head to work through the obstruction.

Always maintain secure footing and follow all power-tool and jobsite safety requirements before drilling.
