Awesome hammer drill
Rating: 5
Used with Bosch 4 1/2” hammer bit and had no difficulties drilling holes in basement concrete walls and attaching 2x4’s with Tapcon screws. Easy to load and use. Avoided cheaper hammer drills where reviewers noted burnout issues after just a few holes. Very glad I did. Fifteen holes so far and drill and bit still working smoothly.

Easy Drill/Hammer
Rating: 5
Great tool. Will be great to use on a couple more projects I have. Easy to use and not so heavy or loud as some I've seen. Drill and Hammer action works great...put in sump pump - great tool.

This tool earns its name (bulldog)

I bought it a week ago to remodel a basement bathroom floor (ceramic tiles) under which the heating cable went bezerk. It ate through the tiles (and when I learned the gentle way: taking them in one piece) and the wire and the auto-levelling concrete in less than a day (80 sq-ft). Works like a charm. I was surprised by the low level of dirt it created.

I used this rotohammer to remove mortar from a river rock patio and long walkway. Spent three days chipping tons of cement off of rocks and braking up the patio. Great machine for the $! Light and easy to use and maneuver. Basically a pro by the time we were done with that project and met all my expectations.

fast and easy
Rating: 5
Needed something to remove tile and mortar from the floor. Hammer and chisel was slow and involved lots of labor. I'm getting up in years and don't care for working on my knees for long periods. What took three hours to do with the chisel took about 30 min. to do with the rotory hammer.

Makes drilling holes in cement a breeze.

I had 130 holes to drill to anchor large storage racks in a warehouse. My old hammer drill had trouble drilling the holes and went through many bits to get 20 holes done before dying. This hammer drill with an SDS drill bit for either 3/8" or 1/2" holes was recommended to me. I could not believe how easy it drilled the holes. I only needed 1 of each size bit to get the job done. It drills the holes effortlessly.

Wider choice of bits
Rating: 4
Have used Bosch tools over40 years in the commercial heavy construction industry. This one is not as heavy as past tools, to me means possible lack of performance and penetration. Need a larger choice of bits, can't find the "bush" hammer bit I used. The "SDS" is possibly great, I prefer the old ones. But, it is still a Bosch and I am a dedicated user of Bosch tools. Thank you for all the years.

perfect for home projects
Rating: 4
Ideal tool to have on a HVAC truck for drilling thru concrete walls or basement floors. SDS Plus saves me time spent on the job and i do not have to worry about burning thru several batteries on my cordless. I purchased this on the recommendation of several of my HVAC colleges and happy to use it daily

i bought this hammer drill to drill holes in a giant rock in my cellar and then use wedges to split the rock. with the Bosch concrete drill bits this thing goes into the rock like drilling through wood. i could not be happier with this tool. also got an accessory flat blade bit and now when i dig in hard clay i use the hammer drill and a hand pick is a thing of the past. this tool is great and i really mean that. its effortless to use.

I have had my hammer for over 4 years now and I do professional demolition work. It keeps me going when others are in the repair shop. I am a very hard person to please when it comes to tools and this one is a great one. I have never had it let me down and have done some big jobs with it.

Good purchase
Rating: 5
Used this tool about 5 times, once to drill into concrete, and the other 4 times to remove tiles and thinset. Great tool, I bought it because of its size, I didn't want a bigger demolition hammer because of 2 reasons: so that I don't damage the plywood subfloor, and to not injure my back after hours of opperating a heavier tool. I think that I made the right choice, although I'm sure that I would've got the job done much faster with a bigger demo hammer.

Always comes through

I LOVE my rotary hammer drill ... it has never failed me and punches holes in concrete as if it was butter. I drilled 50 1/2" holes 4 inches deep into a concrete slab in 1 hour, such a time saver for my business. Solid and rugged, just what a professional needs for the job site.

I have used the RH328 for two years now. It has perform great for light demo work and is excellent when it comes to any kind of coring. I would recommend this hammer drill!

This tool takes the work out of the job when removing old tile flooring as well with some concrete chipping around the drain areas of tubs.

Great little tool !
Rating: 4
I have been using this tool for over a month. All day, five days a week. I am very happy I bought it.  So is my boss because it saves a lot of time. I mainly use it to chip tiles off bathroom walls of drywall, plaster, concrete, and cinder block. Usually glued on but sometimes thinset, which is a pain ( for thinset I use a 3/4" chisel ).  Drywall can be very tough to save if there is not enough support behind it but I found that if I pair it with the Bosch 1.5" Tile Chisel I have a better chance.  You just have to not use any of your own strength to push under the tile and just let the tool do the work.  One kick on the side, and those tiles just pop like popcorn 🙂 I have found that after running the tool for a while ( I'll guess an hour straight ), when I press up against something to chip, it will just vibrate for a second or two before removing a part of the tile.  It looses it's "kick" which is slowing me down, and not doing the amazing job that it usually does.  Once I come back from a break, it's working fine again. When this dies, I'm buying another one.
