What type of drill do I need for this bit?
You need an SDS+ rotary percussion drill. This bit is not compatible with standard drills or chucks.

TCT stands for Tungsten Carbide Tipped. This means the cutting edge of the drill bit is hardened with tungsten carbide, providing superior durability and efficiency when drilling hard materials.
Can I use this bit for wood or metal?
While it might penetrate softer woods or thin metals, this bit is optimized for masonry. Using it on other materials may result in poor performance, damage to the bit, or the material.
How long is the drill bit?
The drill bit has a total length of 450mm.
What are the delivery restrictions for this item?
Due to its size and weight, special delivery terms apply. Delivery is available to the UK (including N. Ireland, Scottish Islands, Highlands, and off-shore islands), Republic of Ireland, and limited international locations.
How should I clean and maintain the drill bit?
After use, clean off debris with a brush and store in a dry place. Inspect the tip regularly for wear or damage.
Troubleshooting
Drill bit not gripping in SDS+ chuck
Ensure the drill bit is fully inserted into the chuck and the chuck mechanism is properly locked. Check the SDS+ shank for any damage or debris.
Slow drilling or overheating
Verify you are using the correct speed and hammer settings on your SDS+ drill. Ensure the bit is sharp and not excessively worn. Check for blockages in the hole or on the bit itself.
Bit breaking during use
Avoid applying excessive sideways force. Ensure you are using the correct drill settings (e.g., not forcing rotation on a hammer-only setting). The bit may be worn or damaged.
