Product Information
Full details
The Loops 22 x 250mm SDS Plus Drill Bit is an essential tool for contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts who require high-performance drilling in masonry, brick, and concrete. Its primary benefit is the combination of precision engineering and hardened durability, which ensures efficient material removal and an extended service life under heavy load. A key caveat to consider is that the 22mm diameter requires a powerful rotary hammer drill, as standard cordless drills may lack the necessary torque to drive a bit of this size effectively.

FAQs
Can I use this bit in a standard cordless drill?
No, this bit features an SDS Plus shank, which is only compatible with rotary hammer drills featuring an SDS Plus chuck system.
Does this bit work for drilling into wood?
While it can penetrate wood, it is designed specifically for masonry and concrete. It will leave a rough, jagged hole in wood and is not recommended for carpentry.
How do I maintain the bit for longer life?
Keep the shank clean and free of grit. Do not force the drill into the material, as this increases heat and wears out the tip prematurely.
Is this bit suitable for drilling through metal?
No, this bit is not designed for metal. Attempting to drill through metal will quickly destroy the bit's cutting edge.
What is the maximum drilling depth of this bit?
The total length of the bit is 250mm; however, the effective drilling depth is slightly less to account for the shank insertion into the chuck.
Troubleshooting
Bit is binding or getting stuck in the hole
Withdraw the bit completely while the drill is running to clear accumulated dust and debris from the hole.
Drilling speed is extremely slow
Ensure the drill is in hammer-drill mode. If the mode is correct, the tip may have become dulled; inspect for signs of wear.
Excessive vibration during operation
Verify that the SDS Plus shank is fully locked in the chuck and that the drill bit is not bent.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Compatible with all standard SDS Plus chuck systems
- High durability due to fully hardened and ground steel construction
- Efficient dust evacuation prevents drill stalling
- Maintains structural integrity during continuous heavy-duty use
Cons
- Requires a heavy-duty rotary hammer drill for optimal performance
- Large diameter generates significant heat; requires periodic pauses
- Not suitable for use with standard three-jaw drill chucks
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, slide the SDS Plus shank directly into the rotary hammer chuck until it clicks into the locking mechanism. Ensure the tool is set to hammer-drill mode for best results. When finished, the bit will be extremely hot; allow it to cool before removal. To extend the life of your bit, avoid using it on reinforced steel (rebar), as this can damage the carbide tip. Clean the shank regularly to prevent debris from entering the chuck, and store the bit in a dry environment to prevent surface corrosion.
