Drill Bit GEKO G42260 SDS‑MAX 22 mm for rotary hammers

GEKO G42260 is a 22 mm SDS‑MAX drill bit designed for use with SDS‑MAX rotary hammers. It features a 22 mm cutting diameter and a shank compatible with SDS‑MAX chucks, intended for drilling into masonry, concrete and other similar building materials. The bit is suitable for professional and DIY applications that require impact drilling with stable centring and reliable debris removal.

Advantages

The SDS‑MAX design ensures secure locking in compatible rotary hammers and efficient transmission of percussion energy for faster drilling progress in hard materials. The 22 mm diameter balances hole size and drilling speed for common anchor, dowel and through‑hole tasks. The flute geometry supports effective dust and debris evacuation to reduce jamming and overheating during extended use.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes for anchors and dowels in concrete and masonry
• Creating passage holes for pipes or cables in walls
• Preparing fixing points for structural or non‑structural installations
• Repair, renovation and construction site percussion drilling

Key specifications

• Shank type: SDS‑MAX compatible
• Cutting diameter: 22 mm
• Typical use: masonry and concrete
• Flute design: spiral for dust removal
• Intended tool type: rotary hammer with SDS‑MAX chuck

How to use

Select an SDS‑MAX rotary hammer and insert the drill bit until it locks into the chuck. Mark the drilling position and, when possible, use a centre punch or pilot mark to prevent slippage. Start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure while using the hammer‑drill function. Use periodic retraction to clear debris and avoid continuous overload; for deeper holes, withdraw the bit occasionally to remove accumulated dust. Maintain a firm grip and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer's safety instructions, including the use of eye, ear and hand protection.

Usage recommendations

For best results in reinforced concrete, begin with a shorter pilot hole or use progressive drilling depths. Keep the bit clean and inspect the cutting head before use; replace the bit if wear or deformation is evident. Use appropriate personal protective equipment and match drilling speed and impact settings to the material to extend bit life.
