Button bits and jack hammer tape rods
Button bits and jack hammer tape rods are terms related to drilling equipment, often used in the mining, construction, and geological exploration industries.
Button Bits
Button bits are a type of drill bit used in rock drilling. They are named for the tungsten carbide “buttons” that are embedded in the bit’s surface. These buttons are extremely hard and wear-resistant, making them suitable for drilling into hard rock formations. The main features of button bits include:
- Durability: The tungsten carbide buttons can withstand high impact and abrasive conditions.
- Efficiency: They offer high drilling performance with faster penetration rates.
- Versatility: Available in various sizes and shapes, they are suitable for different drilling applications.
Button bits are commonly used in rotary percussive drilling, where both rotation and impact are used to break the rock.

Jack Hammer Tape Rods
Jack hammer tape rods (often referred to as drill rods or shank adapters) are components used with jack hammers or other pneumatic drilling equipment. They serve as the connection between the drill bit and the drilling machine. Key aspects of jack hammer tape rods include:
- Material: Typically made from high-strength steel to endure the stresses of drilling.
- Design: Designed to transmit the impact energy from the jack hammer to the drill bit efficiently.
- Threaded Connections: They often have threaded ends to securely attach to both the drill bit and the hammer.
These rods are essential for transferring the force generated by the jack hammer to the drill bit, enabling effective rock drilling or demolition work.
