The TIMco SDS Plus Hammer Bit (8.0 x 210) is designed for professional tradespeople and serious DIY enthusiasts who require a reliable, high-performance bit for masonry drilling applications. The primary benefit of this bit is its heat-treated construction and tungsten carbide tip, which ensures efficient, long-lasting drilling performance in tough materials like concrete and brick. One caveat to keep in mind is that the bit is specifically engineered for SDS Plus rotary hammer systems and will not function in standard chuck drills, necessitating the use of compatible power tool hardware.

No, this bit features an SDS Plus shank, which is incompatible with standard 3-jaw drill chucks found on most cordless drills.
The working length is 150mm, so you should limit your hole depth to approximately 150mm to ensure efficient debris removal.
While the tungsten carbide tip is very durable, granite is extremely hard; use moderate pressure and ensure the rotary hammer has sufficient impact energy for such material.
Look for visible signs of rounding on the carbide tip or a significant increase in the time required to drill a standard hole.
Yes, the finish may fade over time due to friction with concrete, but the core heat-treated steel will remain protected against bending.
Generally, no. Masonry drilling is typically performed dry. Using water can turn the concrete dust into a slurry that may clog the flutes.
Ensure the SDS Plus chuck collar is fully retracted and clear of debris before attempting to remove or insert the bit.
Increase the frequency of removing the bit from the hole to clear out dust, which reduces friction and prevents heat buildup.
Check that the rotary hammer is not set to 'hammer only' mode or oscillating side-to-side, as this can cause the bit to vibrate excessively.
To install, ensure your rotary hammer is set to the 'hammer drill' function and insert the SDS Plus shank into the chuck until it clicks into the locked position. Verify the bit is secure before engaging the power tool. For compatibility, this bit is only intended for use with SDS Plus rotary hammers. To maintain the life of the tool, avoid overheating the bit; pull it back periodically during deep drilling to clear concrete dust from the hole. After use, wipe the bit clean with a dry cloth to maintain the integrity of the shot blast finish, and store it in a dry case to prevent oxidation.
