Holemaker Technology HMT Versadrive Turbotip Impact Drill Bit 16mm

The TurboTip features a stepped tip that allows for drilling at twice the speed of standard bits without the need for pilot holes, while also cutting a perfectly round hole.

Yes, the 11mm Hex shank fits securely in any standard 1/2" drill chuck on cordless or pistol drills. For the fastest performance, impact wrenches and impact drivers are recommended.

Yes, it is suitable for stainless steel and harder materials, particularly when used at low RPM in rotary tools with appropriate lubrication.

The impact rating means the bit is designed to withstand the high torque and rapid impacts of impact wrenches and drivers, allowing for significantly faster drilling speeds and efficient material penetration.

For optimum tool life and accuracy, use with pistol drills and magnet drills. Always use appropriate lubrication and the correct RPM for the material being drilled. Cleaning the bit after use is also crucial.

No, the patented stepped tip design allows for instant drilling start with no slipping and eliminates the need for pilot holes.

The shank is an 11mm VersaDrive Hex shank.

Ensure the 11mm Hex shank is fully seated in the chuck and the chuck is tightened securely. If using an adapter, verify the adapter is properly secured to both the bit and the tool.

Confirm you are using the bit with a compatible high-torque tool like an impact wrench or driver for maximum speed. Check if the material being drilled is exceptionally hard; if so, consider reducing RPM and using lubrication.

Ensure the drill bit is sharp and free from damage. Use appropriate lubrication and correct RPM for the material. Avoid excessive pressure, as the stepped tip design facilitates faster drilling with less force.

Verify that lubrication is being used, especially on harder materials. Ensure RPM settings are appropriate; for very hard materials, low RPM is recommended. Avoid excessive heat buildup.
