SDS Plus Masonry Drill Bit 5.5mm x 160mm 205189 – Key FAQs

• What is a 5.5mm SDS Plus masonry drill bit used for?
  It’s commonly used for drilling fixing holes for wall plugs and light fixings in concrete, masonry and blockwork where accuracy and a clean hole are important.

• Will this 205189 drill bit fit my SDS Plus drill?
  Yes. It has an SDS Plus shank, designed to lock into SDS Plus rotary hammers for secure fitting, efficient hammer action and quick bit changes.

• Can I drill concrete with this Silverline 5.5mm bit?
  Yes. The tungsten carbide tip is designed for drilling into concrete and other abrasive masonry materials while maintaining cutting performance over repeated use.

• How do the double flutes help when drilling?
  Double flutes move dust and debris out of the hole more efficiently, reducing binding and helping you drill more smoothly with less heat build-up.

• Can I use this bit in a standard drill with a 3-jaw chuck?
  No. SDS Plus bits require an SDS Plus chuck. A standard drill chuck won’t accept the shank properly and won’t provide the correct hammer drilling action.

• How do I get cleaner holes and better performance?
  Apply steady pressure without forcing, and pull the bit out occasionally to clear dust. This improves drilling efficiency and helps extend the bit’s working life.
