TURBOHEAD Xpro now also with SDS-max drive 29 September 2016

Since its market launch five years ago, KEIL Werkzeugfabrik Karl Eischeid GmbH says its TURBOHEAD Xpro has established itself as one of the world’s best hammer drill bits.

KEIL’s TURBOHEAD Xpro features an X-head design with full carbide tip that provides a fast drilling progress even in reinforced concrete, as well as precise and fixing-safe drill holes. This hammer drill bit, originally designed for SDS-plus drilling machines, has now been launched onto the market for machines with SDS-max drive – therefore expanding its availability to the three key systems: SDS-plus, SDS-max and round shank.

The TURBOHEAD Xpro is reinforcement resistant and easily drills through heavily armoured concrete. Drilling progress will not be disrupted and the drill hole always stays cylindrical. A significant advantage of the KEIL SDS-max drill bit is the well proven W2 helix with its asymmetrical, shovel shaped entry grooves and large volume double hauling flutes.

“With the enhancements of the TURBOHEAD Xpro we open up our reinforcement specialist to a large public,” states Petra Bergfelder, managing director of KEIL. “Now professionals, as well as handymen, can drill precise holes into reinforced concrete. The round shank type is also perfectly suitable for modern portable impact drilling machines.”

The drill bit holds the PGM quality mark, which stands for an audited production and quality.
