FAQs
Can this bit be used with a standard drill without an impact function?
Yes, it can be used with a standard rotary drill driver. For concrete and stone, performance will be significantly better with the impact function engaged on a compatible drill.
What is the primary advantage of the HEX-9 technology?
The HEX-9 technology refers to the multi-material capability, sharp tip, and optimized carbide, designed for high performance across a diverse range of hard materials.
How does the centering geometry work?
The centering geometry is a design feature on the tip of the drill bit that helps it stay in place on the material surface upon initial contact, preventing it from wandering and ensuring a precise starting point.
Is this bit suitable for tile?
Yes, it is suitable for soft tile. For very hard tiles like porcelain, a specialized tile bit might be recommended for optimal results and longevity.
What is the length of the drill bit?
The drill bit is 150mm in length.
How do I clean the drill bit?
After use, clean the drill bit with a wire brush to remove any material residue. Store it in a dry place to prevent rust.
Can I use this bit for metal drilling?
Yes, this bit is designed to drill into metal, as well as various other hard materials. Use it in rotary mode for best results.
Troubleshooting
Bit is not drilling effectively into concrete.
Ensure the drill is set to 'Impact' mode. Verify the bit is securely fastened in the chuck and that you are applying adequate pressure.
Bit is skidding on the material surface.
Confirm the centering geometry is engaged properly at the start of the drilling process. Ensure the material is stable and properly supported.
Bit is overheating when drilling wood or metal.
Switch the drill to 'Rotary' mode (without impact). Consider using a lubricant or coolant for metal to reduce friction and heat buildup.
Carbide tip appears damaged.
Cease use immediately. Inspect for chips or cracks. If damaged, the bit should be replaced to ensure safety and performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
Ensure your drill is set to the appropriate mode: Impact mode for concrete and stone, Rotary mode for wood, metal, plastic, and tile.
Securely insert the hex shank into the chuck of your drill or impact driver. Ensure it is tightened firmly to prevent slippage.
Mark your drilling location.
Begin drilling, allowing the centering geometry to guide the initial contact.
