Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I love all of my Bosch tools, and this one is no exception.There are larger, more powerful rotary hammers, of course.This one is very capable for all normal home building or remodeling tasks.It will drill holes fast andinstall anchors in concrete or masonry in a few seconds.It drills most concrete as if it is drilling butter.My favorite use is to remove bricks when masonry repair or a larger door or window need to be installed.
The trick with brick removal is removing the first brick.As soon as the bricks are no longer in compression, the bricks remove quickly.I do this by turning the tool to hammer function only, installing a 1-inch chisel bit, and applying the chisel to the brick.Bricks in difficult starter positions, perhaps in the center of a wall, are best attacked by first drilling a series of 1/2-inch holes across the face of the brick.When the chisel bit is pressed against the brick, the brick turns into dust, but it is not thrown about as much as one might expect.
This is a commercial-quality tool and will last a long time if it is maintained.It is very important to follow the maintenance procedures in the manual.Remember, this tool works in a dusty environment.Use proper eye protection, a dust mask, and clean the tool during and after use.
Remember, also, if you need to do heavier work, rent or buy the appropriate larger tool.Bosch makes them, too.
