Monday, April 25, 2011 Bosch 11263EVS 1-3/4-Inch SDS-Max Rotary Hammer Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is a great product and the price is right. In two months, we've used it for everythingfrom 1/2" quick holes (it goes about 2-3x as fast as our SDS-plus HILTI drill with the same diameter bit) to 4" core holes in pebbled-concrete. We drilled one 4" core through 16 inches of this type of concrete in 7 minutes yesterday. It does a great job - very comparable to the SDS-Max Hilti drills rented at Home Depot / Lowes. This drill is heavy to use overhead but manageable, and it's a joy to use downwards. The jackhammer feature is good for light to medium duty work, and conveniently allows you to rotate the bit around. Overall, we like it very much and would definitely buy it again.
