Lubricating SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Drill Bits & Chisels: Frequency and Special vs. Ordinary Grease

Hello!

I have recently started using the first SDS-plus rotary hammer. My question is about the lubrication of drills and chisels - how often do you do this? Is it really worth using special lubricants for SDS? Is it just a marketing ploy and ordinary grease, e.g. for ŁT-43 bearings, is enough?

Regards!

A grease dedicated to SDS should be used.

If someone has too much money, he can buy a dedicated MAKITA PLN 18 100 ml, but let's not exaggerate, it's just a head that will wipe out with time. When lubricating drills, it is very important to thoroughly clean the tip of the drill before inserting it, because if there were debris particles in the case and put them in the head together with the lubricant, it works like sandpaper.

Take bearing grease and keep your drill bits clean to extend the life of your drill head.

I am asking not because of the will to save, because PLN 20 is not a fortune, but I do not like when producers 'fuck' users by loading, for example, ordinary lubricant in a small tube and a puncture at the price of 300% - this is of course an example, because I do not know how it actually is in this case .

Therefore, I prefer to ask smarter people whether it is really worth using a special lubricant for this purpose. I am asking even more people for their opinions.

The first rule when lubricating is to keep the box and drill bits clean !!!
Abrasive paste is done differently and it is even worse if you do not lubricate it at all.
As for the quantity, it is literally the minimum amount of lubricant and not every time you change the drill, but if you can see that the drill bit is pulled out, you give 1/4 of a flat teaspoon of sugar to the handle when inserting a new one.

As for the type of grease, it can be almost any grease with the appropriate density, buy the original grease once, you will see what it should be and you will have a convenient box with a pump and dispenser, which you can then fill with your grease.

A cloth for wiping drills should be in each case !!!
