Awesome hammer drill
Rating: 5
Used with Bosch 4 1/2” hammer bit and had no difficulties drilling holes in basement concrete walls and attaching 2x4’s with Tapcon screws. Easy to load and use. Avoided cheaper hammer drills where reviewers noted burnout issues after just a few holes. Very glad I did. Fifteen holes so far and drill and bit still working smoothly.

Easy Drill/Hammer
Rating: 5
Great tool. Will be great to use on a couple more projects I have. Easy to use and not so heavy or loud as some I've seen. Drill and Hammer action works great...put in sump pump - great tool.

This tool earns its name (bulldog)
Rating: 5
I bought it a week ago to remodel a basement bathroom floor (ceramic tiles) under which the heating cable went bezerk. It ate through the tiles (and when I learned the gentle way: taking them in one piece) and the wire and the auto-levelling concrete in less than a day (80 sq-ft). Works like a charm. I was surprised by the low level of dirt it created.

I used this rotohammer to remove mortar from a river rock patio and long walkway. Spent three days chipping tons of cement off of rocks and braking up the patio. Great machine for the $! Light and easy to use and maneuver. Basically a pro by the time we were done with that project and met all my expectations.

fast and easy
Rating: 5
Needed something to remove tile and mortar from the floor. Hammer and chisel was slow and involved lots of labor. I'm getting up in years and don't care for working on my knees for long periods. What took three hours to do with the chisel took about 30 min. to do with the rotory hammer.

Makes drilling holes in cement a breeze.
Rating: 5
I had 130 holes to drill to anchor large storage racks in a warehouse. My old hammer drill had trouble drilling the holes and went through many bits to get 20 holes done before dying. This hammer drill with an SDS drill bit for either 3/8" or 1/2" holes was recommended to me. I could not believe how easy it drilled the holes. I only needed 1 of each size bit to get the job done. It drills the holes effortlessly.

Wider choice of bits
Rating: 4
Have used Bosch tools over40 years in the commercial heavy construction industry. This one is not as heavy as past tools, to me means possible lack of performance and penetration. Need a larger choice of bits, can't find the "bush" hammer bit I used. The "SDS" is possibly great, I prefer the old ones. But, it is still a Bosch and I am a dedicated user of Bosch tools. Thank you for all the years.

perfect for home projects
Rating: 4
Ideal tool to have on a HVAC truck for drilling thru concrete walls or basement floors. SDS Plus saves me time spent on the job and i do not have to worry about burning thru several batteries on my cordless. I purchased this on the recommendation of several of my HVAC colleges and happy to use it daily

Outstanding performance

Purchased several months ago, and finally need to use it. Did some serious work/use in a couple of days. Performance was outstanding.

Great product worth the money.
Rating: 5
I received this as a Father's Day gift and was extremely surprised by the torque this little impact driver carries. It broke loose my lawnmower blades with ease. The drill I used to install the water hoses brackets to the side of the house and the hammer drill went through the mortar joint with ease. (I had already purchased the Bosch concrete bits last year). I would say at this point I am sold on the Bosch Brand. Great products as well as very competitive pricing.

Great impactor and drill kit
Rating: 5
Brushless what else could you ask for idh182 is great impactor. You can drive in screws or use socket set. Has plenty power. Easy to handle. Hds183 is great drill. Well balance and it has slim design.

great tool - a must for mechanics
Rating: 5
I bought this set 2 years ago and used it almost every day .Never had a single problem . The batteies are still 100% after that time ,. Powerfull impact will loosen up even 1/2 inch bolts and nuts and is small enough to fit in tight spots . Would by set anytime again - more than happy with it.

The best impact driver I have ever used
Rating: 4
I am a commercial electrician and I bought this combo around 3 years ago. I will put this impact driver up against any other impact driver on the market, I have used other top$$ brands. This driver has taking lug nuts off of cars!! The drill on the other hand is not so impressive. The two problems I have with this drill is 1. The battery will lose connection quite frequently and you have to take the battery out blow on it and clean the terminals on the battery contacts of the drill. Very irratating!! 2. The chuck of this drill does not hold all that tight. I have lost my uni-bit down finished walls two times to many just because the chuck losens up when you start drilling. If not for those two things I would have rated 5.
