SDS Max shank, 4-cutter, carbide-tipped drill bit intended for drilling concrete and masonry. The bit has a 1-9/16" diameter, an 18" usable (working) flute length and a 22-1/2" overall length. The carbide head and a heat-treatment process (referred to as IRON BLAST) are used to increase durability and resistance to fatigue; the head geometry and flute design aid dust removal and improve performance when encountering embedded rebar. The product is manufactured in Germany.

Business
Post-Installed Anchor Service
Offer on-site drilling and epoxy anchoring for pergolas, machinery bases, guardrails, and bollards. The 1-9/16 in bit is ideal for large anchor sleeves/rods, and its 4-cutter head handles rebar encounters. Package includes hole cleaning, epoxy injection, torque testing, and compliance documentation.
Conduit Pass-Throughs in Concrete/CMU
Provide same-day boring for 1-1/4 in EMT/PVC sleeves through walls, beams, and slabs for electricians, low-voltage installers, and sprinkler contractors. Market as a quick alternative to small-diameter coring with clean holes, vacuum dust control, and predictable pricing per wall type and thickness.
Hardscape Retrofits & Upgrades
Specialize in adding features to existing patios and retaining walls: umbrella sleeves, weep/drain holes, landscape lighting wells, and fence/post sockets. Use the long 18 in working length for deep bores in thick masonry, with neat finishes and optional sleeve installation.
Artist/DIY Drilling-as-a-Service
Mobile precision drilling for artists, makers, and homeowners needing clean, large holes in concrete or stone features. Provide layout, depth stops, and dust extraction. Bill per hole plus setup, and partner with galleries or fabricators for recurring work.
Candle & Planter Block Product Line
Produce and sell upgraded concrete blocks/pavers with 1-9/16 in recesses for votives or succulents. Offer sealed, stained, or terrazzo-finished variants and bundle with inserts. Sell online and to garden boutiques; the bit’s size perfectly fits standard 1.5 in items for a snug, professional look.
Creative
Modular Concrete + Wood Bench
Drill 1-9/16 in pass-through holes in solid concrete blocks to accept 1-1/4 in EMT conduit or hardwood dowels as hidden spines. Slide oak or cedar slats over the conduit to create a sleek outdoor bench. The deep, clean bores and efficient dust removal let you produce straight, repeatable holes for multiple modules.
LED Address Wall with Light Wells
In a cast-concrete or block wall, drill deep 1-9/16 in light wells to house acrylic rods or glass cylinders and run low-voltage wiring. The holes act as glowing portholes behind house numbers or logos. The bit’s rebar-tolerant 4-cutter head helps when hitting reinforcement in existing walls.
Vertical Garden Plug Planters
Create partial-depth sockets in retaining walls or large pavers to hold small succulent pots or plastic liners. Add a slight downward angle for drainage and a small cross-hole for drip irrigation. The long usable length lets you vary depth for staggered plant sizes.
Concrete Candle/Votive Blocks
Turn standard pavers or split-face blocks into modern candle holders by drilling 1-9/16 in recesses sized for 1.5 in votives. Flame-polish or seal the cavities and arrange multiple bores for cluster centerpieces. Sell as sets with tea lights or glass inserts.
Fire Ring Airflow Jets
In a precast concrete fire ring, drill angled intake holes around the base to create a cleaner, hotter burn and vortex effect. The bit’s geometry clears dust quickly so you can make consistent, evenly spaced jet ports without clogging.
