Calantha –
This is one of the best tools I have ever gotten. And I am not exaggerating one bit. I recently completely a project where I put down a sand based patio in my backyard which is fenced in. In order to put down the track for the pavers to sit in, I had to get rid of concrete that my fence posts were planted in for stability. I took out this hammer drill, bought a SDS chisel bit, and went to work. First off, the hammer drill comes in its own carrying case which is really nice and convenient. Setup and usability was a breeze. I read through the instructions but basically just inserted the SDS bit in directly, hooked it up to power, and started going through each setting to get a feel for it. It has multiple settings of operation, from drilling alone, hammering alone, and drilling and hammering together. It also has rotation feature to get the chisel in the correct axis for you. And it has a forward and reverse spinning gear to switch over to. This hammer drill went through the concrete posts like it was nothing. It literally just pummeled the concrete into pieces. It was almost effortless. It was so effective that I drilled out extra concrete just for fun. Nothing slowed the hammer drill down – it was fantastic. The tool isn’t overly heavy and feels like it is built to last. It’s not too noisy and is plenty powerful. So powerful in fact that I actually got the bit stuck when I went too deep into one of the concrete blocks. This was not the tool’s fault – it was my own user error since I chiseled in too deep and actually got it lodged in the wood base of my fence. The special vibration handle dampens a lot of the harsh vibration so you can continue to use the tool for awhile. It does require a SDS bit, but if you feel the need you can buy a 3 jaw chuck for it so it can be a little more versatile. Again, what a great tool. The true testament to this tool is that my father, who isn’t usually a fan of “fancy” new technological tools, absolutely loved it. He continued to praise it and said it was the most impressive tool we bought for the entire patio project (and we bought many, many good tools). Well done, Bosch.
