The present invention relates to a fluid-operated percussion drill tool comprising an outer wear sleeve comprising a substantially cylindrical wall and having inner and outer surfaces. The tool also comprises a percussion bit having a head portion and a bit retaining portion and located at a forward end of the outer wear sleeve. The tool further comprises a sliding piston mounted for reciprocating movement within the outer wear sleeve to strike the percussion bit. The tool also includes a drive ring having a substantially cylindrical wall and comprising connection means adapted for connecting the drive ring to a drive means of the fluid-operated percussion drill tool. At least one flushing channel provides a fluid path to the cutting face of the bit for a flushing medium. A first portion of the at least one flushing channel extends longitudinally within the wall of the wear sleeve, a second portion of the at least one flushing channel extends longitudinally within the wall of the drive ring and a third portion of the at least one flushing channel extends through the head portion of the percussion bit to the cutting face of the bit.
