Hammer drill bit Bosch SDS Plus-5

The Bosch SDS Plus-5 hammer drill bit is designed for precise and efficient drilling in concrete and masonry. With a 12 mm diameter and PGM-certified quality, this single drill bit provides reliable performance for heavy-duty and professional applications. It is made in Germany and compatible with rotary hammers that accept SDS‑plus holders.

Advantages

The Activeteq centring tip ensures easy starts by guiding the drill and preventing wandering. AWB brazing and hardening technology reduces vibration and user strain, while a visible wear mark helps verify whether the drilled hole diameter remains within tolerance for metal anchor installation. The bit bears the PGM Masonry Drill Bit Association test mark, confirming tight tolerances and consistent drilling performance.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry for anchors and fixings
• Professional and heavy-duty construction tasks

How to use

Install the Bosch SDS Plus-5 drill bit into the SDS‑plus chuck of a compatible rotary hammer according to the tool manufacturer's instructions. Position the Activeteq centring tip at the intended drilling point, start drilling at low speed to establish the guide, then apply steady pressure and the appropriate hammer mode for concrete or masonry. Monitor the wear mark to confirm the hole diameter remains within tolerance for metal anchors.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety glasses, hearing protection and dust mask) and clear the hole of debris between passes. Replace the bit when the wear mark indicates the diameter is out of tolerance to ensure secure anchor fixing.
