Sandvik Top Hammer Heavy Duty Bits

Top hammer drill bits

Our Top Hammer drill bits are truly versatile and designed to meet your high demands. We have added features that empower automation, provide higher penetration rates and straighter holes. Many of the bits are also equipped with our most advanced materials technology: the PowerCarbide® range.

Sandvik Top Hammer Rods

Top hammer rods

Our Top Hammer drill rods are manufactured from alloy, high-strength, and 100% recycled steel, and you find them in hexagonal and round configurations. Developed and designed to give you straighter holes with less deviation and longer service life, we focus on increasing your overall performance.

Sandvik Top Hammer Shanks

Top hammer shank adapters

While every component in a drill string is crucial, the shank adapter must be engineered to withstand extreme stress, as it sits between the rod and the drill bit. With endurance and dependability, it transmits extensive impact power from the rock-drill piston, as well as rotation torque, into the drill string without causing any energy loss. A hard task, but we have the quality tools you need!

Sandvik Top Hammer Integral Steel

Top hammer integral drill steel (IDS)

Integral drill steels are crucial for peak productivity in all applications. Our drill steel has high fatigue strength and toughness – offering excellent wear resistance and ensuring an efficient and economic drilling operation. When you partner with Sandvik, you can expect consistently high quality and maximum operational dependability when it comes to small hole drilling applications.

Sandvik Top Hammer Alpha 330

Sandvik Alpha™ 330

Today’s rock drills generate almost unlimited impact power. We need to control that power and, most importantly, ensure transmission into the rock as efficiently, accurately, and economically as possible. A tough job for rock tools, which is why we developed the Sandvik Alpha 330™ tool system: it simply brings you the best solution for performance and productivity.

Sandvik Alpha™ 360

Sandvik Alpha™ 360 is the latest development based on our unique and best-selling Sandvik Alpha™ system. With a strong and robust design, it can last twice as long as an industry standard solution - in a wide range of drilling conditions.

Guide adapter

Reduced hole deviation is key to achieving greater productivity, longer tool service life, improved safety, and ultimately lower operational costs. And our guide adapters provide just that.
