Since the turn of the millennium, the demand for rebar in concrete construction has surged, driven by major infrastructure projects and the resurgence of commercial building. This has increased the need for more holes and anchors in larger concrete structures, resulting in unavoidable labor intensive and dust-filled jobsites nationwide.
Overhead Dust-free Drilling System
Diablo’s AMPED™ Rebar Demon™ system addresses this issue by reducing dust and debris by up to 97%, creating cleaner jobsites and saving time with a cleaner borehole. It simplifies the complex five-step anchor installation process to just two steps. For chemical anchors, it eliminates the need for additional tools like brushes and air pumps, potentially saving up to 66% in labor. Simpson Strong-Tie has approved this system for use with their epoxy anchors (AT-3G, ET-3G or SET-3G).
The AMPED™ Rebar Demon™ also speeds up drilling by up to three times compared to standard bits, thanks to its dust extraction feature. It is durable, lasting up to seven times longer than traditional bits and reducing replacement costs by up to $75 (SDS Plus) or $200 (SDS Max) per bit. In civil engineering, where delays are costly, the system prevents time loss due to bit failure when drilling into rebar. It combines the functions of rebar cutting and concrete drilling into one bit, eliminating the need for multiple tools.
For electrical, HVAC, and general construction, the system offers a dust cap and spring mechanism option to keep dust at bay, especially when drilling overhead and using smaller diameter anchors (available in 1/4”, 5/16”, 3/8”).
In summary, Diablo’s AMPED™ Rebar Demon™ system tackles dust, labor, time costs, and bit longevity, making it a game-changer in concrete drilling.
Diablo’s AMPED™ Rebar Demon™ range includes (15) hammer bits, covering a range of sizes plus a removable, re-usable adapter for both SDS-Plus and SDS-Max bits:
SDS-Plus range: 5/16 to 3/4 in. & SDS-Plus Adapter
SDS-Max range: 7/8 to 1-1/4 in. & SDS-Max Adapter
