Like Butter!
Rating: 5
This drill makes holes in concrete like butter ( just make sure you hold it straight, and don't hit any re-bar!). I put 15 holes through 8 inches of concrete in a matter of minutes, just make sure you tighten the auxiliary handle well or the tool will spin on you! Comes with a large case that holes extra drills, and a really long cord (~ 10 ft.). The variable speed is handy as well as the hammer only mode ( I would also like a drill only mode as well a a reversing switch). Fine tool although the cardboard shipping box could be more robust and some foam inside the case to keep the tool from sliding around during transport.

I just used my Bosch 850 hammer drill for the first time taking out 16 SF of concrete to lower a shower floor. It helped do the job performing much better than I could imagine. I love this hammer drill.

Nice upgrade
Rating: 5
This drill is replacing a Bosch11240 that has drilled a lot of anchor holes over the last 9 years so when it came to getting another drill it was going to be a Bosch. We gave the new one the workout this weekend anchoring down tracks and this drill did not dissapoint and is much more comfortible to use, nice tool.

Reliable Rugged Tool
Rating: 5
We have three of these hammers in use and they get put through paces every day. These hammers take a beating with very little down time or repair. Definitely worth the money.

Great Bosch Hammer
Rating: 4
Great tool , use this almost every day for a few hours. i did have a issue with the fan making contact with the baffle and it melted together and seized the tool. took it in for warranty. a few days later got it back and it has not failed since. and that dates back almost 2 years. Very happy customer.!

Good Hammer Drill For The Price
Rating: 4
I use this primarily for light demo on concrete. This tool works well for chipping and removal of concrete around stub ups. It is light enough where it won't wear you out after 10 minutes of hammering. Good tool at a great price.
