FAQs

What materials can this drill bit be used on?

This SDS+ Masonry Drill Bit is designed for drilling into brick, stone, concrete, and reinforced concrete.

What type of drill is required for this bit?

You need a rotary hammer drill with an SDS-plus chuck system to use this bit effectively and safely.

Can I use this bit with a standard drill?

No, this bit is specifically designed for SDS-plus chucks and will not fit or function correctly in a standard drill chuck.

How do I ensure the bit is securely installed?

Insert the SDS-plus shank into the chuck and push it forward until you hear or feel it lock into place. A slight rotation may be needed for it to engage.

What is the recommended maintenance for this drill bit?

Yes, this bit is engineered to handle reinforced concrete, which includes drilling through rebar.

What does the '12x 160mm' specification mean?

Troubleshooting

Drill bit not gripping chuck

Ensure you are using an SDS-plus chuck and that the chuck mechanism is clean and functioning correctly. Insert the bit fully until it locks.

Slow drilling speed

Verify the drill is set to the correct hammer/rotary mode. Ensure the bit is sharp and not damaged. Check for blockages in the material being drilled.

Bit overheating

Allow the bit to cool down periodically during prolonged use. Ensure adequate lubrication if using a drilling fluid, and avoid excessive pressure.

Excessive vibration

Check that the bit is correctly seated in the SDS-plus chuck and that the drill is functioning normally. Damaged bits can cause increased vibration.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure your rotary hammer drill has an SDS-plus chuck. Insert the drill bit shank directly into the chuck until it clicks into place, signifying a secure connection.
