SDS Drill Bits Explained

The Hilti One-Step Vacuum + Drill Bit drills and cleans a concrete hole in a single motion, preparing the hole for Rapid RH® Smart Sensors.

Why it matters

A clean hole drilled to the correct depth is what the Smart Sensors need for a reliable reading. The Hilti TE-CD Hammer Drill Bit is built for concrete and removes the separate cleaning step.

What sets it apart

  • Drills and cleans in one step
  • No cleanup afterward, which saves time on every hole
  • Carbide tips for a long service life

Key specifications

  • Diameter: 3/4″
  • Working length: 9-7/16″ (240 mm)
  • Compatibility: suits a 1-1/4″ vacuum hose
  • Performance: cleaning during drilling supports consistent anchor setting
  • Quality: comparable to TE-CX bits in durability, life, and speed, with less snagging
