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.

First job: worked like a dream!!

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

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.

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
