Thank you for making this video Sir. I’ve always wondered if there was such adapters. 😊

[@SparkyChannel]

No problem 👍

[@ThomasJamesArt251]

Excellent video it really helped me understand which tool the adaptor was for and I really appreciated all your time, thank you soooo much !!!!!!

Great video...I have a Milwaukee 5347 1-1/2" rotary hammer...that i just can't find the point or flat chisels...I invent try the company of Milwaukee and they told me they don't make them anymore...I try e-bay and amazon and home depot and they only told me they got for newer model...can you help me out on what to do with this old time... is there an adapter for this model????

Great video do they make one to use sds max on sds plus

Good information Sparky.

[@LDU2U]

What is the 'pin spanner' used for? I'm danged if I can find out what the heck it is used for.

[@sickvic3909]

Do sds-plus work in my regular sds hammer drill?

[@markymarc37]

BOSCH 1-9/16-Inch SDS-Max Combination Rotary Hammer RH540M, Blue I bought this, when ordering bits, do all SDS MAX bits work?

[@LUSkyhawk]

Any issues with using the smaller SDS Plus bits (3/16-1/2") in an SDS Max tool with the adapter? I don't want to buy two rotary hammers if I can get away with just a Max but I'm worried that the higher impact a Max Hammer delivers will bend/damage the smaller SDS Plus bits.

[@jamesbolotenko3460]

I'm in the same boat. Did you find your answer?

[@LUSkyhawk]

@@jamesbolotenko3460 I ended up getting the largest 20V Dewalt SDS Plus Rotary Hammer and I've been very pleased with it. The SDS max drills obviously hit much harder but also turn significantly slower so from what I can tell they are actually slower with smaller drill bits. But with larger diameter drill bits and core bits the slower rotation gives the correct linear velocity while the heavier hammer is distributed over a larger surface area of the bit face. I think it really is about sizing the correct tool to the bit. I rarely drill larger than 3/4" so I think the SDS Plus gives better performance in that application than the SDS Max hammers would. I can break concrete with the SDS Plus drill I have (again the largest 20V one Dewalt makes) with a 3/4 chisel. It kinda slow but it works.

[@zenbaas]

@@LUSkyhawk thanks for the detailed reply bud. Helped me with my decision.

[@4cbower]

Does Bosch makes Sds plus to sds max big drill bit for small rattle drill

[@SparkyChannel]

Bosch does make a SDS plus to SDS Max adapter.

[@chrisfrancis8446]

Where can I find SDS Plus to Spline Adapters? My old hammer drill with took spline and with my new SDS Plus I can use 15 different bites. I thought finding an adapter would be easy.

[@luissalud582]

What kind of grease did you use to put on bit for first use?

[@SparkyChannel]

Bosch provides a little with the kit. It looked like regular grease to me.

[@SpartanIV]

I know this is an old post but I was wondering the same thing for my rotary hammer and researched it and the popular online opinion was molybdenum grease because it stands up to heat and pressure well.

[@tonybrown4298]

Can you use it the other way round sds max into a sds plus?

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes.

[@mmorin1986]

How can you do that

[@zigzag7194]

@@mmorin1986 I'm guessing by the adaptor🤔

[@trailsidek9]

I have found there are also adapters for SDS plus to 3 jaw standard chuck. What I haven't been able to find is a SDS MAX to 3 jaw adapter. I don't want to stack 2 adapters on a SDS MAX to be able to use standard bits for heavy wood drilling. Does anyone have helpful info?

[@eosjoe565]

Have you ever seen an adapter to allow SDS MAX bits to be used in a SDS-Plus tool? I have a lot of nice SDS-MAX chisel bits that I would like to use in my SDS-Plus tool but haven't found an adapter. BTW... I've been wondering why I haven't seen any videos from you and just tonight I realized that KZbin mysteriously unsubscribed me from your channel.

[@SparkyChannel]

How are you buddy? Good to hear from you and thanks for searching me out! No, I haven't seen an adapter going that way. It's usually the other way around. Good video here tomorrow AM, check it out if you can. :)

[@patricelebrasseur5649]

Hitachi was making one year ago, it as a sds Mak coupler on both side and they made various shank one of which was a sds max on one side and sds plus on the other

[@SparkyChannel]

@@patricelebrasseur5649 Thanks!

[@sergiomesquitarocha8018]

How do I fit a SDS Max chisel in a SDS Plus drill? Any adapter for that?

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, there is a SDS Plus to SDS Max adapter.

[@brandon7942]

Sparky Channel do you have a link? I can’t seem to find one!

[@lordmaddrox]

Im also haveing alot of trouble finding adapter to use sds max in a sds plus drill and would like a link as well

[@lambfactory2537]

@@lordmaddrox Me too . Nobody can even understand the question.

[@MarkJones-gt2qd]

@@lambfactory2537 yeah, whichever way you ask the question, it comes back with an adaptor that fits the max chuck. I did find one on eBay finally. Made in Germany. Probably cheaper to buy a whole new machine.

[@pestcontrolrbc8860]

Very nice

[@SparkyChannel]

Thanks!

[@nojokeauto]

Do they make a sds plus to sds max ? Or I’m I just crazy?

[@eagerlawncare3700]

I have a 1/2 drive impact wrench that I would like to convert to an SDS max occasionally ... anything out there?

[@SparkyChannel]

Not that I know of.

[@Mixwell1983]

I actually want to do the opposite and buy new sds bits to work in my older AEG spline shank hammer.

[@SparkyChannel]

Sounds good to me!

[@pauly7667]

Me too, but how do I do it.

[@MrShinta786]

Dear sir, how to USE sds Max bits in a sds plus drill? I couldn't find an adapter for that.

[@SparkyChannel]

I don't have that adapter. I do think Bosch makes one though. You might give them a call.

[@MrShinta786]

@@SparkyChannel I work @ Bosch Gerlingen, they don't make it XD

[@tienloctientai1373]

[@thangavelteachertamil9714]

Which one best SDS plus or SDS max

[@SparkyChannel]

It depends what job you need to do. SDS max are more heavy-duty, but they are heavier and more expensive.

[@farmerdave7965]

SDS spline ?

[@SparkyChannel]

Yes, spline is an older system.

[@jmackinjersey1]

The only problem with using these adapters is that you lose a LOT of impact and ADD a lot more time to the drilling process because of more movement. They may be OK in a pinch, but not as an every day option. Most heavy construction companies won't allow them anyway.

[@ibringthelastwords1358]

Is there a sds max bit to sds plus adapter?

How about sds to sds to make sell bit longer 🥴
