    SDS versus SDS Plus Confusion

    Thank you, that makes sense. I guess I'd need to see a patent white paper to try to decipher why the extra oval "flutes" or indentations make a functional difference or improve the original design. I could have sworn that I read something definitive on it once but now that I go searching all I...

    SDS versus SDS Plus Confusion

    To simplify, did the old SDS standard use a different chuck design than the new ubiquitous SDS Plus standard? Or is the difference only in the bit shanks? What does the difference accomplish?

I would suspect it is a 90's Snap On cart though, the stenciled name looks legit and would be a weird thing for someone to go to that level detail and trouble to make a fast buck on a small item. Currently SO sells...

    SDS versus SDS Plus Confusion

    Hi, this is just for the sake of conversation as it doesn't *really* matter, but I was confused by the concept of the (supposedly) original SDS chuck specification versus the SDS Plus or SDS+ spec which all bits seem to be made to now. The reason this confusion came up is that I bought a "SDS"...
