Adapters and Extensions

Posted by on August 6, 2008    |    Leave a reply   

We added a few cool new accessories to our website yesterday. For those of you out there in a line of work where rotary hammers / demolition hammers are a big need, you know how important it is to have the right bits for the right job. Three of the most popular types of bit shanks are: SDS Max, SDS, and Spline. These three types of shanks are not cross compatible without an adapter.

So, what do you do if you are on the job and you have a spline bit that you need to use, but you are working with a SDS Max tool?

The good news is that Bosch has a great set of adapters that will convert one type of shank to the other.

1) Spline-SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Adapter

This adapter converts spline shank to SDS Plus. Here is a picture to help show how it works:

2) SDS Max-SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Adapter

Here is a picture of this one. It is just like the adapter above, except that it converts SDS Max to SDS plus.

3) SDS Max-Spline Rotary Hammer Adapter

This last one converts SDS Max to Spline shank.
All of these accessories are genuine Bosch brand accessories. They are manufactured with the quality and engineering that you would expect from Bosch.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments about these adapters. Also, if you have used them before, let me know and I will post about your experience.
