FAQs
What materials can this drill bit be used on?
This drill bit is designed for heavy-duty use on masonry materials, including block, brick, and concrete.
What type of drill do I need for this bit?
You need a drill equipped with an SDS chuck system for this drill bit to function correctly.
How do I maintain the drill bit for longevity?
Clean the bit after each use, dry it thoroughly, apply a light oil to the shank, and store it in a dry place to prevent rust and damage.
Can this bit be used for drilling metal or wood?
No, this bit is specifically engineered for masonry and will not perform effectively or safely on metal or wood.
What does the 16mm x 400mm measurement refer to?
16mm is the diameter of the drill bit, and 400mm is its total working length.
How does SDS compatibility benefit my drilling?
SDS compatibility ensures a secure connection and efficient power transfer from the drill, leading to faster, more controlled, and less fatiguing drilling, especially in tough materials.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit not securely fitting into SDS chuck
Ensure the drill chuck is clean and free of debris. Push the drill bit firmly into the chuck, ensuring it clicks into place. Some SDS chucks have a collar that needs to be pulled back during insertion.
Slow drilling speed or bit overheating
Check if the drill bit is dull or damaged. Ensure you are using appropriate speed and hammering settings on your SDS drill. Clear debris from the hole frequently to prevent binding. Ensure adequate cooling by withdrawing the bit periodically.
Poor hole quality (uneven or jagged edges)
Verify that the drill bit is the correct type for the material (masonry). Ensure the SDS drill is functioning correctly and the bit is properly seated. Apply consistent pressure and avoid forcing the bit, allowing the tool to do the work.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure your drill is powered off and unplugged before inserting the drill bit. Insert the SDS shank of the Dekton Masonry Drill Bit firmly into the SDS chuck of your compatible drill until it clicks into place. Once secured, you can power on your drill.
Compatibility: This drill bit is specifically designed for use with drills that feature an SDS (Special Direct System) chuck. It is not compatible with standard three-jaw chucks found on many conventional drills.
Care: After each use, remove the drill bit from the drill while it is still slightly warm and clean off any dust or debris using a stiff brush or a dry cloth. For stubborn material residue, a slightly damp cloth can be used, followed by thorough drying. Apply a light coating of oil to the shank to prevent rust. Store the drill bit in a dry place, preferably in its original packaging or a protective bit case, to maintain its sharpness and prevent damage.
