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
