Product Information
Full details
The Bosch SDS Plus-3 Hammer Drill Bit (6.5 x 210mm) is designed for professional contractors and serious DIY enthusiasts who require precision and endurance when drilling into concrete and masonry. Its primary benefit is the 4-flute dura design, which provides efficient dust removal to prevent overheating during intensive tasks. While highly durable, users should note that this specific bit is engineered exclusively for rotary hammers equipped with SDS plus chuck systems and may not be compatible with standard drill drivers.

FAQs
Can I use this bit with a standard drill driver?
No, this bit is designed specifically for SDS plus rotary hammer chucks and will not fit into a standard three-jaw drill chuck.
Does this bit work for drilling into brick?
Yes, it is highly effective for both concrete and masonry applications, including brick and block.
What is the benefit of the PGM certification?
PGM certification ensures that the bit meets strict tolerances for hole diameter, which is essential for ensuring that anchors and fixings hold securely.
How do I know when to replace the bit?
Replace the bit when the carbide tip shows visible signs of rounding or chipping, or when it takes significantly longer to drill the same depth in concrete.
Can I use this for drilling rebar?
These bits are designed for masonry. Striking rebar can damage or shatter the carbide tip. If you hit rebar, stop and move the hole location slightly.
Troubleshooting
Bit is getting stuck in the concrete.
Ensure you are using a rotary hammer rather than a standard drill. Pull the bit out frequently during the drilling process to clear accumulated dust.
Hole is too loose for the intended anchor.
Check that your rotary hammer is not set to a 'chiseling' mode, which causes excessive lateral movement. Keep the tool perpendicular to the surface.
The bit is overheating quickly.
Check if the flutes are clogged with dust. Reduce downward pressure and allow the hammer action of the tool to do the work.
Pros and Cons

- Certified precision for accurate hole sizing

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure peak performance, insert the bit into your SDS plus rotary hammer chuck until it clicks into place. Ensure the tool is set to hammer-drill mode rather than just rotation to avoid damaging the carbide teeth. After use, inspect the carbide tip for signs of chipping or excessive wear. Clean the flutes with a wire brush if concrete dust has hardened inside them. Always store the bits in a dry environment to prevent the high-alloy steel from developing surface corrosion. When not in use, keep the bits in the included packaging or a protective bit organizer to prevent the carbide edges from striking other tools.
