Bosch Professional SDS Plus Drill Bits

Bosch Professional SDS Plus Drill Bits at Tooled-Up.com

Bosch Professional SDS Plus Drill Bits are built for drilling into concrete, brick, block and stone with an SDS Plus rotary hammer. Tooled-Up.com stocks them as individual bits and as ready-to-use sets, from the 4 Piece 3 Series SDS Plus Masonry Drill Bit Set to the EXPERT 7X masonry sets.

The selection is split across three tiers: the standard 3 Series and SDS plus-1 bits, the PRO 5X bits, and the EXPERT 7X bits. Each step up offers a longer working life and a faster drilling rate. The 4 Cutter Head versions are designed to keep drilling straight and to resist jamming in tougher materials.

Combination kits such as the 11 Piece SDS Plus Hammer Drill Bit & Chisel Set and the 8 Piece SDS Drill and Chisel Set add chisels to the drill bits, so one case covers both drilling and light chiselling.

Key Features of Bosch Professional SDS Plus Drill Bits

• SDS Plus shank: The bit locks into the chuck but can still slide, so the hammer action passes straight to the tip. Bits can be changed quickly without a chuck key.
• 4 Cutter Head: Four cutting edges on the head help the bit hold its line and cut cleanly. They also reduce the risk of jamming when the bit hits aggregate or rebar.
• 5X and 7X life ratings: The PRO 5X and EXPERT 7X bits are rated for longer working life than standard bits. Some 4 Cutter Head versions are described as offering 1.5X or 3X life. This means fewer replacements on repeat drilling jobs.
• Helical flutes: Dust and debris are carried out of the hole as you drill. This helps keep the bit cutting efficiently in deeper holes.
• Chisel options: Pointed, flat and stubby chisels are available in sets. They suit chasing, chipping and removing material alongside drilling.
• Organised storage: Sets come in cases, including a tough case option, so bits are easy to find and carry between jobs.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Bosch Professional SDS Plus bits should I choose?

For occasional drilling, the standard 3 Series or SDS plus-1 sets are enough. For frequent site work, PRO 5X offers longer life. EXPERT 7X is the better choice for heavy daily use, or for drilling through tough materials.

Can I use these bits in any SDS Plus hammer?

They are made for SDS Plus chucks, so they fit SDS Plus rotary hammers. They are not suitable for standard keyless or keyed chucks, or for SDS Max machines.

Do the bits cope with reinforced concrete?

The 4 Cutter Head designs handle hitting rebar better than standard bits. Where a lot of steel is likely, check the product details before drilling.

What safety precautions should I take?

Wear eye, hearing and dust protection. Use extraction when drilling masonry, because silica dust is covered by COSHH and HSE guidance. Check bits for wear before use.
