Meet the Diablo Rebar Demon 5/16 in. X 18 in. L Carbide Hammer Drill Bit with SDS-Plus Shank—engineered for serious concrete challenges where rebar and long reach matter. This isn’t a generic masonry bit; it’s built to survive the hardest jobs and deliver consistent, clean holes through reinforced concrete.
Key features designed to win tough drilling tasks:
-
Carbide tip for extended bit life stands up to abrasive concrete and embedded rebar, reducing premature wear and the need for frequent replacements.
-
SDS-Plus shank ensures quick, secure bit changes and reliable retention in compatible hammer drills and rotary hammers.
-
5/16" diameter with 18" overall length (16" flute) provides deep, through-hole capability for anchor installations, sleeves, and long conduit passes.
-
Rebar Demon by Diablo line specializes in reinforced concrete applications, delivering performance designed for real job-site conditions.
-
One bit per carded package offering convenient, ready-to-use tool storage for on-site efficiency.
Perfect for professionals and serious DIYers tackling reinforced concrete projects, this bit shines in scenarios like installing anchor bolts through masonry walls, chasing clean deep holes for electrical or plumbing runs, or routing sleeves and conduits where rebar is present. Its long flute aids chip evacuation, minimizes binding, and helps you maintain a steady, controlled drill to achieve precise hole placement without wandering.
Who should consider it? Masons, concrete contractors, electricians, plumbers, and renovators who routinely work with reinforced concrete and need reliable, long-reach drilling performance.
Practical tips for best results: use a compatible hammer drill with an SDS-Plus chuck, operate at appropriate hammering speeds, and apply steady, even pressure without forcing the bit. Periodically retract the bit to clear dust and prevent overheating, and ensure you follow all safety guidelines for drilling into concrete with embedded rebar.
