I rented a similar tool as a proof of concept for my most immediate project - digging a 9' horizontal tunnel under my house to repair a plumbing problem. Once I'd finished testing and knowing I have 5 more projects I can apply the demo hammer to I took the plunge. I'm using a shovel bit and the ease of angle rotation is superior - push on the adjustment ring and rotate to 12 different positions. Bit removal? Same thing, push the ring and pull the bit out. I was skeptical about the power on/off switch not being a trigger-style switch. 30 minutes later and I was a believer in this slider-style switch on the tool, it is by far my preference. This thing is heavy, as was the rental, for man handling in a horizontal application. It is what it is. The weight works for you or against depending on the application. I've ordered the tamper bit and shank and will use it to assist in back filling my tunnel. The forward grab handle it well placed and I leave it slightly loose so I can rotate it 360 degrees with out turning the knob. The rear handle is wide enough to get two hands on to back the tool out when it's stuck. Cord length is good and I use a heavy gauge extension to reach my power source. The case seems just stout enough to get the job done but I've not traveled with it. In speaking with my plumber I told him I was using a demo hammer and he asked "Is it a Bosch?" This suggest to me that anything else would be somewhat less than ideal.

Best chipping hammer in its size range
Rating: 5
No other chipping hammer comes close. We've owner all the other brands these are the best and longest lasting for our plumbing company. Use them for chipping tunneling and digging.

indispensible
Rating: 5
This hammer has helped me dig holes for fences, trenches for conduits, and carving rock for sculpture. It has changed how I think about projects because I can take on so much more with this tool. The hammer is easy to use and doesn't beat me up. I let it do the work and don't push hard on it when hammering. The only concern I have is trying to keep dust from sucking into the motor when a hole is getting deep. I ordered one chisel extra long from a outside source and use that chisel when the hole is getting deep. It would also be great if someone would make a tamping tool when backfilling a hole. I tried making one but can't get a weld to hold with all the impact.

Nothing better

I work for a large Demo company and my division primarily does interior demo. We have a huge assortment of tools to get most any job done quickly. Along with every brand of tool as well. When it comes to grabbing a tool for a project. The Bosch tools go first. This is the supervisors choice. The other brands go last. Our Bosch tools are used extensively on any given day. With without fail. But, when one does go down . It is sent to the nearest service center and fixed pretty quick. The cost is reasonable, when compared to the use of the tool. Compared to other brands? Why would you by anything else?? I could pick apart the other brands. But everyone has there favorites. Buy what you like. I just buy what works and I can depend on.

Tough
Rating: 5
I still have the model 11220 that this newer unit replaced, and it is Tough! My milwaukee burned out twice, but this guy won't quit. We just broke up some concrete that was supposed to be 3", but turned out to be 7" thick, and hard. This crazy little breaker just kept going like the Big-Guys, and saved me a long drive back to the shop for more horsepower. Keep them TOUGH Bosch, and I will keep buying them. Make them China-cheap and I am gone!

this thing will not die
Rating: 5
I have bought 2 of these used back in 2003 and I still have them, they are very powerfull and get the job done. I love using the ceramic blade accessory it gets the job done. Remember when using this tool to use the appropriate extension cord that allows 15amps, and use it alone on a single circuit. This will prolong life of the tool. Don't use a garden extension!

Hard hitting demo tool with precision.

We specialize in ADA adaptation of existing concrete. This type of work requires a lot of chipping. I bought my first one in 2010 and the second in 2014 . We've never had a single problem the first still works as well as the newer tool.

I bought this to help drive 3/4" x 22' steel thru rods in concrete floating docks damaged in a recent hurricane at my marina, Brunswick Landing Marina in Brunswick, Georgia. I couldn't have done the job rebuilding my docks without it, and it cut our labor hours down by 75%!

Good punch
Rating: 4
Great power vs weight ratio. Great for horizontal and floor hammering.  Must be a strong guy to handle for above head work.  Currently used for 320 hours.  Serviced twice for worn brushes.  No other problems.  Equivalent to or better than a 17lb air hammer.  Cheaper to operational cost than an air hammer. Pros: Similar or better punch than Hilti TE700.  Good value in class performance. Cons: Brushes wear out too fast.  Ergonomic design not as good as Hilti TE700

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

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

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.
