What does SDS size mean?
A: In North America, it’s how power tool companies rate the tools. The larger the number, the more powerful the tool. The SDS Max tool holder is standardized, so any SDS Max bit will fit any SDS Max tool. The larger and deeper the hole, the larger the hammer you need.
What diameter is SDS?
10 millimeters
The diameter of an SDS and SDS Plus shank is 10 millimeters. (The SDS Max is 18 millimeters. The SDS Quick is 6 mm.) The SDS shank has the advantage of fitting into a simple spring-loaded chuck, so that bits are simply pushed into the chuck without tightening.
What size do SDS bits come in?

SDS-max is more common for larger rotary hammers and chipping guns, and common sizes start at 1⁄2 inch (13 mm) diameter up to 1 3⁄4 inches (44 mm) diameter.
