Hammer drill bit Bosch SDS Plus-5

The Bosch SDS Plus-5 hammer drill bit (Ø 12 mm) is designed for use with rotary hammers that accept SDS‑Plus shanks. Made in Germany and PGM‑certified, this masonry bit features a visible wear mark to help ensure drill holes remain within tolerance for metal anchor setting. AWB brazing and hardening technology and an Activeteq centring tip provide guided starts, reduced vibration and improved drilling accuracy.

Advantages

The Activeteq centring tip guides the bit for easy, non‑wandering starts. AWB brazing and hardening reduces vibration and strain on the user while increasing bit durability. A visible wear mark indicates when hole diameter may fall outside tolerance for metal anchors. PGM certification confirms manufacturing tolerances and consistent drilling performance.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry
• Preparing holes for metal anchors and fixings
• Use with SDS‑Plus rotary hammers for construction and renovation tasks

How to use

Insert the Bosch SDS Plus-5 bit into an SDS‑Plus rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Use the appropriate drilling mode (hammer drilling) and apply steady pressure; let the tool do the work to avoid excessive wear. Monitor the wear mark during use: when the mark is no longer visible, the drilled hole diameter may be out of tolerance for metal anchors and the bit should be replaced.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection, dust mask) and select the correct drill speed and hammer setting for the material. Replace the bit when the wear mark is no longer visible to maintain correct anchor performance.
