Extended Product Information
FAQs
What material are these drill bits made from?
These drill bits are manufactured from high-quality 40CR steel with a heat-treated tungsten carbide tip.
What type of drills are compatible with these bits?
They are designed specifically for hammer drills with SDS Plus compatible chucks.
What materials can I drill with this set?
This set is intended for use on brick, concrete, mortar, and stone.
What are the sizes included in the set?
The set includes: 5.5mm x 110mm, 7.0mm x 110mm, 6.0mm x 160mm, 7.0mm x 160mm, and 8.0mm x 160mm.
How do I maintain the drill bits for longevity?
Clean the bits after each use, store them in a dry place, avoid overheating by not forcing the drill, and inspect them regularly for wear.
What is the working length of the 110mm and 160mm bits?
The 110mm bits have a working length of approximately 50mm, and the 160mm bits have a working length of approximately 100mm.
Can I use these bits with a regular drill without the hammer function?
While you might be able to rotate them in a standard drill, they are designed for the impact and rotation of a hammer drill with an SDS Plus chuck to be effective on masonry. They will not perform well or fit in a standard chuck.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit not locking into SDS Plus chuck
Ensure the chuck is clean and free of debris. Retract the chuck sleeve, insert the bit fully until it clicks, and then release the sleeve. Make sure you are using an SDS Plus bit and not a different type.
Slow or ineffective drilling in concrete
Confirm that the hammer function on your drill is engaged. Ensure you are using the correct bit size for the anchor or fastener. Clean the bit and check for any buildup of debris that might be hindering performance. Avoid excessive pressure; let the hammer action work.
Premature wear or chipping of the bit tip
Reduce drilling pressure and avoid forcing the bit. Ensure the drill is not overheating. Check for hardened inclusions within the masonry material that may be causing excessive stress on the tip. Replace the bit if the tip is significantly damaged.
Drill bit 'walking' on the surface when starting a hole
Use a center punch to create a small starting indentation on the material. Alternatively, try to keep the 135° point firmly on the marked spot and apply light pressure initially until a small divot is formed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your hammer drill has an SDS Plus chuck. This is a specific type of chuck designed for rotary hammer drills.
Select the appropriate drill bit size for your task.
Insert the bit shank fully into the SDS Plus chuck. You should feel or hear it click into place, locking securely.
For hammer drills, ensure the hammer function is engaged.
Compatibility:
These bits are only compatible with SDS Plus rotary hammer drills. They will not fit standard drill chucks or other SDS types (like SDS-Max).
Care:
Clean After Use: Remove dust and debris from the bit after each use. A brush or compressed air works well.
Store Properly: Keep bits in a dry environment, ideally in their original case or a designated bit organizer to prevent damage and rust.
Avoid Overheating: Do not force the drill excessively, as overheating can damage the tungsten carbide tip and reduce its lifespan. Allow the drill to do the work.
Inspect Regularly: Check for signs of wear, chipping on the carbide tip, or damage to the flutes. Replace bits that show significant wear.
