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.

Works great!

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

Happy Mothers Day Indeed!
Rating: 5
This was my gift for mother's Day! I was so excited when I opened the package and found that it was a not only a drill but a Milwaukee hammer drill!!! I am not a professional but we are remodeling our home either to sell or to increase the property value. I have been doing all the work myself and have become quite good at it. This product has made it so much easier. and the hammer drill part I mean to be able to screw into concrete without killing myself is quite a feat thank you family for giving me the best gift ever. Looking forward to my next power tool to add to my ToolBox the M18 Sawzall! Oh and the product runs great, lightweight and 2 battery packs!

Gr8 Tool, I am a DIYER and I got the same results as my 18v
Rating: 5
Quick review : Views from an active DIYer I love the hammer drill , everything that I was able to do with my 18v tools. I got accomplished with the 12v little brothers. Having lightweight tools reduces the load and strain and is sure to add longevity to your work life. More In depth review: Hammer Drill: To switch the Drill/Drive mode you have to rotate the collar past 16, there are rubber molding by the hammer icon on the sides I initially thought that was how you switch the modes, by pressing it. That was not the case. For my needs the Hammer drill worked well. I used it with landscape timber, 2x and I had no problems at all. You can adjust the torque settings and when it reaches its maximum torque you can hear it powering down and it stop altogether. You have to release the trigger and press it again if you want to continue. This is good to ensure you do not over tighten a screw

Gr8 tool, did not feel weak at all

Quick review : Views from an active DIYer I love the hammer drill everything that I was able to do with my 18v tools. I got accomplished with the 12v little brother. Charge time right out of the box with the included charger was pretty long, 1/2hr for the 2.0ah and 1hr for the 4.0ah. Having lightweight tools reduces the load and strain and is sure to add longevity to your work life. More In depth review: I used this for a few projects I had , I used it with a pocket hole jig, T-Star bits and regular bits. The drill worked fine. Every thing that I was able to do with 18v tools was able to do with these also. I got this because of the expansive M12 line and there are a lot of tools I am interested in. The batteries do not have a fuel gauge but the drill and impact driver did. Once you press the trigger the fuel gauge will stay on for 2 seconds. The LED light stays on for 10 seconds after the trigger is depressed. I found the light to be bright enough to light my work area. This comes with the belt clip attached on the left side but you can remove it and place it on the right side if you are a lefty. To switch the Drill/Drive mode you have to rotate the collar past 16, there are rubber molding by the hammer icon on the sides I initially thought that was how you switch the modes, by pressing it. That was not the case. For my needs the Hammer drill worked well. I used it with landscape timber, 2x and I had no problems at all.

great tool, but it's got some draw backs
Rating: 4
I'm in general aviation so I prefer a high rpm, good trigger modulation and light weight/compact. I love this drill, however if you plan to use this drill for a lot of low torque fasteners as I do then you'll find the electronic clutch inferior to a mechanical one and the slow start at lower clutch settings extremely annoying. Also the chuck will spin the whole drive train before you can get a proper clamping force on the bit. Again I'm I general aviation so 90% of the work I ask this drill is a 1/8th inch drill bit in 2117-T4 aluminum. For my work it's great when you have a lot of rivets to drill as I frequently do. But any work that you rely on the clutch, get the older model with a mechanical clutch. I use a bosh ps22 for inspection panel fasteners and the Milwaukee for drilling rivets on all the sheet metal repairs that as an employee of a flight, school is often.

This is a good drill.
Rating: 4
So I work in construction. I have 2 battery hammer drills. This and an old 18v xrp. Now obviously the xrp is more powerful, but this 12v is lightweight, compact, easy to use, and is faster at small 5/36 drilling. I like this drill. The belt clip works better than the old design, and is now my go to drill. But I do have a complaint. The exhaust ports are in the worst spot. With long term drilling there isn't a place to hold it with my other hand without getting burned.

Hmmmm ?

No doubt a great drill but in hard working apps such as brand new sharp drill bits drill in steel and get caught up it stops making it very hard and longer to push the bit through. Good luck
