Can you redo the link or give us the name of the product you talking
about as the link is broken :/ Thanks

Could you give us a clue to what you are referring to? Even looking at
the mangled home owners hub history, all the original thread structure
has been lost, so it's no clear.

I think he is looking for the grease that you should put on
the sds drill bit 'splines' as you slide it into the drill.
I just use CV joint grease. You should be able to blag some
from a friendly garage.

I thought there was an argument that this just caused grit to enter the
gubbins. I've never greased my elderly DeW 2kg or Titan 4kg - heavily
used and still going strong.


Using my Bosch today, I found it was quite difficult to pull out the bits,
so may be a bit of grease might help?
