Festool BKS SYS3 D5-12 SDS 7-Piece SDS-Plus Hammer Drill Bit Set

At a Glance: Seven-piece SDS-Plus hammer drill bit set from 5mm to 12mm with solid-carbide four-edge heads, supplied in an organised Systainer³-compatible drill bit case.

The Festool BKS SYS3 D5-12 SDS is a professional seven-piece hammer drill bit set developed for fast, accurate and dependable drilling in reinforced concrete, natural stone, artificial stone and masonry. Each drill bit features a reinforced head manufactured from high-quality solid carbide for outstanding service life and efficient drilling performance. The robust four-edge cutting geometry helps minimise the risk of the bit catching when it encounters reinforcement, while the sharp 90° centring point enables precise positioning at the start of the hole. Wide dust-removal flutes efficiently transport drilling dust away from the cutting head, supporting faster drilling progress and reduced heat build-up. The complete set is securely organised in a compact drill bit case that fits neatly into Systainer³ models with lid compartments or can be carried and used as a convenient standalone box.

Professional drilling performance in demanding masonry materials

The combination of a solid-carbide head, four cutting edges, an accurate centring point and wide dust outlets delivers a powerful drilling action with excellent control. This makes the set especially effective for professional installation and construction work in masonry, stone and concrete.

Product highlights

  • Seven-piece professional set: Includes frequently used SDS-Plus drill bit sizes from 5mm to 12mm.
  • Solid-carbide drilling heads: Reinforced heads provide excellent durability and a long service life.
  • Four-edge cutting geometry: Helps reduce catching when drilling in reinforced concrete.
  • Accurate hole positioning: The sharp 90° centring point helps prevent the bit from wandering when starting a hole.
  • Efficient dust removal: Wide flute openings rapidly transport drilling dust away from the cutting head.
  • Secure organisation: Every drill bit is firmly retained and easy to identify inside the dedicated case.
  • Systainer³ integration: Fits into compatible Systainer³ lid compartments or functions as a separate storage box.

Features

  • SDS-Plus tool holder: Enables quick, secure installation in compatible rotary hammer drills.
  • High-quality solid-carbide head: Provides excellent resistance to wear during demanding drilling applications.
  • Four cutting edges: Improve stability and reduce the likelihood of the bit catching on reinforcement.
  • 90° centring point: Supports precise positioning and accurate hole starts.
  • Wide dust-removal flutes: Efficiently clear drilling dust for rapid drilling progress.
  • Multiple working lengths: Includes shorter 50mm spiral lengths and longer 100mm spiral lengths.
  • Compact storage case: Keeps the complete set organised, protected and immediately accessible.

Benefits

  • Fast drilling progress: Efficient cutting geometry and wide dust outlets help the bits penetrate demanding materials quickly.
  • Improved drilling control: The sharp centring point helps establish the hole accurately before the hammer action advances the bit.
  • Reduced bit catching: The four-edge head provides greater stability when encountering reinforcing steel.
  • Long working life: Solid-carbide construction withstands intensive professional drilling applications.
  • Convenient size selection: The included diameters cover many common fixing, anchoring and installation requirements.
  • Efficient tool organisation: The dedicated case keeps the drill bits secure and easy to locate on site or in the workshop.

Application

  • Drilling fixing and anchor holes in concrete.
  • Drilling in reinforced concrete.
  • Drilling holes in natural stone.
  • Drilling in artificial and engineered stone.
  • Drilling in brickwork, blocks and general masonry.
  • Installing wall plugs, anchors and construction fixings.
  • Electrical, plumbing and general building installations.
  • Professional workshop, construction-site and renovation work.

Extra Information

  • Suitable for Festool BHC 18 and KHC 18 rotary hammer drills.
  • Also compatible with other rotary hammer drills equipped with an SDS-Plus tool holder.
  • The set includes three 6mm drill bits: two with a 50mm spiral length and one with a 100mm spiral length.
  • The case fits into compatible Systainer³ models with lid compartments and can also be used independently.
  • Use the appropriate drill diameter and embedment depth specified by the fixing or anchor manufacturer.
  • Drilling performance and bit life depend on the material, machine setting, operating pressure and effective removal of drilling dust.

Pro Tips

  • Use the shorter drill bits where the required hole depth permits, as their compact length provides excellent control and reduced deflection.
  • Mark the required drilling depth on the bit or use the rotary hammer&s depth stop to avoid drilling unnecessarily deep holes.
  • Allow the rotary hammer and carbide cutting head to perform the work; excessive pressure can slow drilling and increase heat.
  • Periodically withdraw the bit from deep holes while it is rotating to help clear accumulated drilling dust.
  • Clean the completed hole thoroughly before inserting chemical anchors or other fixings that require a dust-free bore.

How to Use

  • Check the drilling location for concealed electrical cables, water pipes, gas lines or other services before starting.
  • Select the required drill bit diameter and working length for the fixing and specified drilling depth.
  • Disconnect the rotary hammer from its power source or remove the battery pack before fitting the drill bit.
  • Clean the SDS-Plus shank and insert it fully into the machine&s SDS-Plus tool holder until it locks securely.
  • Set the machine to the appropriate rotary-hammer mode for the material being drilled.
  • Position the 90° centring point accurately on the drilling mark and hold the machine square to the surface.
  • Start drilling with controlled pressure, allowing the cutting head and hammer action to advance through the material.
  • Withdraw the bit periodically during deeper drilling to clear dust from the hole and flutes.
  • Release the trigger, wait for the bit to stop completely and allow it to cool before removing or handling it.

Safety

  • Wear suitable eye, hearing and respiratory protection while drilling.
  • Check for concealed cables, pipes and other services before drilling into walls, floors or ceilings.
  • Use the side handle supplied with the rotary hammer and maintain a secure two-handed grip where applicable.
  • Confirm that the SDS-Plus shank is fully engaged and securely locked before starting the machine.
  • Do not use drill bits that are bent, cracked, excessively worn or have damaged carbide cutting edges.
  • Do not intentionally drill through structural reinforcement without the required authorisation and structural assessment.
  • Allow the drill bit to cool before touching it, as it may become extremely hot during operation.
  • Follow all safety and operating instructions supplied with the rotary hammer and selected fixing system.
