Drill bits Bosch SDS plus-5, set for hammer drills, SDS‑plus shank

The Bosch SDS plus-5 drill bits are engineered for use with SDS‑plus rotary hammer drills and designed specifically for drilling into masonry and concrete. Each bit features an SDS‑plus shank for secure tool compatibility and a carbide cutting plate with grooves and notches that reduce jamming and improve penetration in demanding materials. The Activeteq centring tip provides stable guidance for precise starts and consistent hole diameters, while AWB brazing and hardening technology lowers vibration during operation. The drill bits are manufactured in Germany and carry the PGM Masonry Drill Bit Association Board test mark for tolerance, drilling accuracy, and secure fixing performance.

Advantages

Grooved carbide plates with notches allow easier penetration into concrete and help prevent the bit from jamming. The Activeteq centring tip reduces wandering at drill start, ensuring accurate hole placement and stable diameter. AWB brazing and hardening technology improves bit strength and reduces vibration, decreasing user strain. Compatibility with SDS‑plus holders ensures secure retention and quick bit changes. The visible wear mark enables fast assessment of bit condition and confirms whether drilled holes remain within tolerance for anchor installation.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry
• Installing metal anchors and fixings in structural and non-structural applications
• Use with SDS‑plus rotary hammer drills on construction sites and renovation projects
• Professional trade work and DIY tasks requiring hammer drilling

How to use

Fit the Bosch SDS plus-5 drill bit into the SDS‑plus chuck of a compatible rotary hammer until it locks. Select hammer drilling mode and set the appropriate rotational speed and power for the material thickness. Start drilling using steady pressure; the Activeteq centring tip helps prevent slipping during the initial contact. Periodically withdraw the bit to remove debris and allow cooling in extended drilling operations. Check the wear mark to verify that the bit still produces holes within the tolerance required for anchor installation.

Usage recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment including safety glasses, hearing protection and dust extraction or a vacuum when drilling concrete and masonry. For best results with anchors, drill to the recommended diameter and depth, and verify hole dimensions before inserting fixings. Replace the bit when the wear mark indicates it has exceeded tolerance to maintain secure fixings and drilling accuracy.
