DeWalt Launches New Line of Rock Carbide SDS Plus Drill Bits


- Masonry Bits Offer End Users Increased Durability, Life and Speed -

November 2007 - DeWALT, a leading manufacturer of industrial power tools and accessories, announces the launch of its industrial-grade four flute, two-cutter ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus drill bits (DW5400-DW5470). Additionally, DEWALT is launching a new line of four-cutter SDS Plus drill bits (DW5471-DW5482). Available in February 2008, the new ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus accessories provide end users with increased durability, bit life and speed for a variety of industrial applications, including drilling holes in concrete, block and masonry materials. The new bits offer a longer lasting and faster drilling alternative for professional end users including electricians, mechanical's, MRO's, tilt wall contractors, as well as residential and commercial plumbers.

Four Flute, Two-Cutter ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus Bits

The four flute, two-cutter ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus bits, ranging from 5/32"-1 1/8", are designed for maximum durability and bit life. For increased bit life, DEWALT built the line of two-cutter ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus bits with a carbide tip that is 10 percent thicker than the leading competitor.* It has a thicker core diameter that is three times more durable than the leading competitor.* Additionally, DEWALT designed an elongated four flute helix to pull debris out of the drilled hole and increase the drilling speed.

Four Flute, Four-Cutter, ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus Bits

The new four-cutter, ROCK CARBIDE® SDS Plus bits, ranging from 5/8-1 1/8", are designed with broader shoulders at the head of the bit for increased life. The open head design on the four-cutter allows debris to flow into the flute and out of the hole which allows it to drill 25 percent faster than the leading competitor.** For increased speed the bits have also been equipped with an elongated four flute helix.
