large sds chisel bit?
Hi,
Can anyone point me in the direction of a large sds chisel bit? About 40mm seems to be the widest for "standard" sds and sds-max seems to be used for anything wider. There are plenty of 75mm wide tile removing bits but these are cranked. I want one without a bend; does such a thing exist? TIA |

I got an SDS one with the Armeg socket sinking set that's about 70mm wide (ie width of metal back box) so it could probably be bought individually. -- Scott Where are we going and why am I in this handbasket? |

Yep, I picked up an 80mm Armeg chisel from the electrical wholesalers the other day. -- Adam |

TIA Toolstation do a 75mm tile lifter which I was looking at the other day as I need to lift some tiles (!). Dunno what the difference is between one of them and a chisel - probably how pointy they are. |

Dunno what the difference is between one of them and a chisel - probably how pointy they are. I bought a tile lifting one from TS and it was the Heller brand IIRC. The difference is that the tile bit has a cranked shaft, i.e. it is slightly bent. IMO this allows you to hold the drill at a more comfortable angle and slide the chisel behind the tiles to lift them. If there's another reason, I'm sure someone will correct me shortly! I'm wanting to remove old plaster from a wall and although the tile bit will do it, I would prefer a chisel that points where the drill is pointing, rather than in another direction! I did see an Armeg socket sinker and did wonder about that; I'll go and have a closer look. Thanks. |

Pity as I was thinking of buying one for exactly the same purpose! |

TBH on older stuff I find just hitting it with a hammer far quicker and no messier/tiring than wielding the SDS... Jim K |

It should be available seperately... http://www.armeg.com/electrical-box-sinker-tools.asp On the list you can find it... EBS.BSC.HM |
