Total TAC311601 16M X 160MM SDS Plus Hammer Drill Bit

SDS Plus is a quick‑change, all‑steel chuck system that securely locks bits in place during hammering. It provides better bit retention, faster bit changes, and efficient energy transfer for more consistent drilling and chiseling in tough materials.

This drill is built for concrete and masonry drilling and chiseling, and with the right bits it can handle wood and metal as well. Use appropriate SDS Plus bits for each material to maximize performance and longevity.

Key features include SDS Plus compatibility, heavy‑duty construction, a high‑performance motor for efficient drilling and fast impacts, and an ergonomic design for comfortable handling during extended use.

For options on Fepy, you can check: Total SDS Plus Hammer Drill (https://fepy.com/product/total-sds-plus-hammer-drill) which offers balanced power and comfort, and SDS Plus Hammer Drill 1100W (https://fepy.com/product/sds-plus-hammer-drill-1100w) which may provide higher power for tougher tasks. The Total model is geared toward versatile everyday use with an emphasis on control and comfort, while the 1100W option is typically aimed at demanding applications.

Use it for drilling into concrete walls to install anchors, chiseling out channels in masonry, mounting shelves, hanging fixtures, renovating concrete structures, and other heavy‑duty tasks where robust impact drilling is needed.

To use SDS Plus bits: 1) unplug or switch off the tool before changing bits. 2) Insert the SDS Plus bit fully into the chuck until it seats securely. 3) Select the hammer/rotation mode appropriate for your task. 4) Start at a lower speed and apply steady, controlled pressure. 5) If chiseling is required, switch to the hammering/chisel setting and guide the bit along the intended path.

Always wear eye protection, hearing protection, and work gloves. Secure the workpiece, keep hands away from the rotating bit, maintain a firm stance, and avoid overheating by not pushing the tool too hard for extended periods. Ensure you’re using the correct SDS Plus bits for the material and that the ventilation slots are clear.

Regularly inspect bits for wear or damage, keep vents clear of dust, and clean the tool after use. Store in a dry place and check that the SDS chuck remains clean and free of debris. Periodic inspection of power cord or battery (if cordless) and connectors helps prevent unexpected downtime.

Consider additional SDS Plus drill bits and chisels in various sizes, a depth gauge for precise drilling depth, an auxiliary handle for improved control, a carrying case for organization, and compatible safety gear (glasses, gloves, hearing protection).

Yes, given its heavy‑duty build, SDS Plus capability, and ergonomic design, it offers versatility and reliability for demanding tasks. It’s well suited for professionals who regularly drill into concrete and masonry and for serious DIYers who tackle frequent masonry projects.

If you experience issues, first ensure the bit is correctly inserted and seated, the tool is in the correct mode (rotation vs hammer/rotation), and the power source is supplying adequate power. Check for worn bits or a jammed bit, inspect the SDS system for debris, and, if needed, loosen and reseat the bit or replace it. If problems persist, stop using the tool and consult product documentation or support for guidance.
