Hammer drill bit Bosch SDS Plus-5 8 mm

The Bosch Hammer drill bit SDS Plus-5 8 mm is a rotary-hammer drill bit designed for precise and reliable drilling in concrete and masonry. Made in Germany and PGM-certified, the bit features a visible wear mark to show whether the hole diameter remains within tolerance for metal anchor setting. It is compatible with rotary hammers that accept SDS-plus holders and is intended for professional and DIY use.

Advantages

The Activeteq centring tip provides guided starts to prevent jarring and wandering, while AWB brazing and hardening technology reduces vibration and user strain. The wear mark enables quick checks of drill-hole diameter accuracy. PGM certification attests to tight tolerances, exact drilling and secure fixing retention.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry
• Preparing holes for metal anchors and fixings
• Use with rotary hammers that have SDS-plus holders

How to use

Fit the SDS Plus-5 drill bit into an SDS-plus rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Use the centring tip to position the bit and start drilling at low speed to establish the hole, then apply steady pressure and the appropriate hammer action for masonry. Monitor the wear mark during use to confirm the hole diameter remains within tolerance for the intended anchor. Replace the bit once the wear mark is no longer visible or drilling performance declines.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, gloves) and follow the rotary hammer manufacturer's guidance for speed, hammer settings and cooling intervals. For best anchor performance, verify hole depth and diameter against the anchor manufacturer's instructions and replace the bit when the wear mark disappears.
