FAQs
What materials can this drill bit be used on?
This drill bit is designed for heavy-duty drilling through masonry materials such as block, brick, and concrete.
What type of drill do I need for this bit?
You need a drill that is compatible with the SDS (Special Direct SDS) chuck system. This bit will not fit in a standard three-jaw chuck.
How do I ensure a clean hole?
Maintain a steady speed, apply consistent pressure, and clear debris from the hole as you drill. Ensure the bit is properly seated and compatible with your drill's power settings.
What is the purpose of the 400mm length?
The 400mm length is designed for deeper drilling applications, allowing you to create deeper holes or pass through thicker walls in a single operation.
How should I maintain the drill bit?
Clean the bit after each use with a wire brush to remove debris and store it in a dry place to prevent rust. Check for visible wear on the cutting edges.
Can this bit be used for metal or wood?
No, this masonry drill bit is specifically designed for hard mineral-based materials like concrete, brick, and block. It is not suitable for wood or metal.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit not seating properly in SDS chuck.
Ensure the drill is off and unplugged. Check for any debris in the chuck and on the bit's SDS shank. Try rotating the bit slightly as you insert it to engage the locking mechanism.
Slow drilling progress or excessive heat.
Verify you are using an SDS-compatible drill and the correct hammer drill mode. Ensure the bit is sharp and not damaged. Reduce pressure slightly and allow the drill to do the work, or clear debris from the hole periodically.
Bit appears to be wearing down quickly.
Confirm you are drilling into compatible materials (block, brick, concrete). Excessive heat or drilling into harder materials than intended can accelerate wear. Ensure proper cooling and avoid forcing the bit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your drill is switched off and unplugged before inserting the drill bit. Firmly insert the SDS shank into the corresponding SDS chuck on your drill. Rotate the collar if necessary to secure the bit. Select the appropriate drilling mode on your SDS drill (hammer drill function is recommended for masonry).
Compatibility: This drill bit is designed specifically for use with drills featuring an SDS (Special Direct SDS) chuck system. It is not compatible with standard three-jaw chucks.
Care: After use, remove the drill bit from the drill and clean off any dust or debris with a wire brush. Store the bit in a dry environment to prevent corrosion. Periodically inspect the cutting edges for wear and sharpen if necessary, though its durable construction aims to minimize this need.
