To work with BOSCH Rotary Hammers, you need special drill bits with SDS-plus shanks. As an alternative, the hammers can also be equipped with keyless chucks, which also hold conventional drill bits with straight shanks.

The best-known drill bits are named twist drill bits after their appearance and shape. A distinction is made between HSS (High Speed Steel) drill bits and masonry bits. HSS drill bits of type W (soft) are used for soft materials such as wood, plastic, aluminium, steel and other hard materials, are worked on with HSS drill bits of type N (normal) or H (hard). Masonry bits have a tungsten-carbide plate on their tips and are used for impact drilling. You will find the appropriate bits for your BOSCH Rotary Hammer at specialist dealers or in DIY superstores.
