Wednesday, September 7, 2011 Bosch 1194VSR 1/2-Inch VSR Hammerdrill Only Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I have read somewhere else (I don't remember where) that this drill overheats.I did not really trusted that review since I had great considereation for bosch (I still do).I went ahead and bought the drill.I have used the drill to make 3 inches long holes thru concrete in percussion mode.However, at each 1/2 inch interval, I would stop (1-2 minutes) to cool down the expensive masonry bit. I would only drill 3-4 holes in a day. In the third day of drilling, the drill overheated and stop functioning.I am assuming that the excessive heat has melted the protective cover on the copper windings, resulting in an internal short circuit.I will take it back to the store where I bought it.I hope for bosch that mine opinion and the other I previously read are a result of just two isolated incidents.
