Perfect!

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
Rating: 5
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.
Rating: 5
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

Lots of Power
Rating: 5
I bought this impact thinking it would be good for doing small screws like cabinet screws, but I use this for everything. This impact has no problem driving in 3 to 4 inch screws like deck screws. It's lightweight and small enough to fit into a tool pouch.

small and pacs a punch
Rating: 5
I have had this little driver now for 6 months and can not be more impressed. I thought I would use it just for quickly removing small screws but this tool will drive and remove large screws from tough hard to reach places. Really packs a punch for its size.

This is a very compact and powerful driver. Easily fits between joists and studs and has enough power in one battery to drill dozens of 5/8" holes for romex thanks to the two speed gear box. The clutch makes the driver great for quickly mounting cover plates without damage. If I only had one it would be this. The only improvement I would make is a battery level meter like the impact driver.

Great drivers, even better support
Rating: 5
At work, I bought this drill driver for installing self-tapping sheet metal screws in ducting and appliance repair. Worked great... bought another & then another. Accidentally dropped one 12' on concrete... still works! Over worked one and it burnt the circuitry. Bosch promptly repaired under warranty & returned. Compact power compared to other small drivers. Tool fits a niche; more finesse than a larger drill/ driver. Still have 18V for big stuff.

I've owned this gun for over two years and it's always the first tool I reach for in practically every project around the house. I've yet to find a job it won't do.

GOOD TORQUE, BUT WHY IS THERE NOT A MAGNET IN THE 1/4 CHUCK. THIS IS A SCREW GUN IT SHOULD HOLD THE SCREWS. DO I HAVE A LEMON OR ALL PS 21'S WITHOUT MAGNET

good for crafts, not for work
Rating: 3
Nice driver with needed features but one battery won't power the driver long. If you plan to run a lot of screws or drill & tap a lot of holes then this line of Bosch power drills/drivers is not for you. Poor battery capacity !!! Plan on always charging your next battery while you are working because you'll need it sooner than later. If all you need is a drill for crafting then these will do. They fit the hand well and are nice to use... until they run out of juice.
