WHAT IT DOES
Slotted drive shaft (SDS) drill bits are used for drilling holes into concrete, brick and stone (they won’t work on wood).
SDS masonry drill bits can only be used with an SDS hammer drill, the most powerful hammer drills we have. They have a special groove allowing the drill bits to slide and enhance the hammer mechanism of the power drill. Pick a classic hammer drill with classic masonry drill bits if you don't need such power.

HOW TO USE IT
Not sure about the size? Start with a small drill bit size, and work your way up.
When using the hammer drill, sometimes masonry is soft, so start without the hammer action and use it in bursts afterwards if need be.
Smaller drill bits on softer materials work with faster speeds (usually speed 2 on a combi drill). Larger bits require slower speeds (often 1 on a combi drill)
