Solidly built, works well
Rating: 5
I have only used this tool to drill about 20 holes in concrete but it has performed spectacularly so far. Plenty of torque, solidly built and does the job well.

Excellent value

Needed to sink 5/8" anchors, 2" into concrete. Worked great1 One minor flaw: the depth gage is plastic and vibrates so wlidly that it is useless. This one plastic part cheapens the whole tool. Excellent hammer drill otherwise.

Great features

This is a fantastic hammer drill that gets the job done effectively and cost much less than the one with the battery. I would also like to add that it has more power use of rpm than the one with the battery from what I see in retail stores.

All the power you need
Rating: 5
I bought this hammer drill a month ago and have used it for several projects. The first one to drill 2 1/2" deep x 3/8" diameter concrete anchor holes for a storm shelter ceiling/ front porch concrete base. I dreaded doing this project but this hammer drill made the project a breeze and fun to do. Ergonomically it fits my hands perfectly. I was very impresed at the speed and ease of use. One thing I would prefer is a steel depth gauge instead of plastic.

My Go to Hammer Drill
Rating: 5
I have owned this hammer drill for years. Over that time I have drilled several hundred holes up to 1/2" in diameter for anchor bolts to 5/32" holes to use Tapcon screws. It has NEVER failed me and ALWAYS got the job done. Like one reviewer wrote the bit can come loose in the chuck. No big deal and I chalk it up to not having it tight enough.

Really happy with it!

Bought it primarily to drill a bunch of holes in concrete and it worked like a champ.A great tool for the money.

Works preaty well
Rating: 4
The drill works good for what I do every day I mostly use it for drilling holes for my tap cons. The only thing I don't like so far is the chuck key is made out of to soft of metal I have broken about half my teeth on mine

Heavy Duty
Rating: 4
I have just received this from Amazon a couple of days ago, so to be fair I can't say a lot about this drill yet! It is heavy built and seems to be well made, but I have not had the chance to use it yet. I'm a little concerned that the hi-lo gear change does not take place when you turn the selector knob until you actually turn the chuck after switching gears! Not sure if that's normal or not? Only time will tell.

Smoke after 6 weeks!
Rating: 2
I used that drill to do some renovation in my basement. After only 5-6 times, it started to smoke. The tool is powerful, but doesn't last, even for a residential use. I do not recommend this tool.

Not what Bosh tools used to be!
Rating: 1
Quality of parts not made for everyday use. Ideal for showcase because they look good! Even with light use, it overheats Brush holders made of plastic melted, no replacement parts and no warranty This is my third Bosch impact drill ( and my last) so i have seen first hand the quality drop in each new products

Vaccum too large
Rating: 3
We use hammer drills extensively and daily on large construction sites, mainly for piping suspensions. We almost exclusively use Milwaukee machines, except for hammer drills because of there has not been any good integrated dust vacuums. We mostly drill concrete with 1/4-5/8 bits, often overhead into ceilings, often hundreds of holes in a day. Dust extractors are a must for us. So we where exited about the new drills with dust vacuums as we have high trust the Milwaukee machines and prefer to use one battery system. We also have good experience in the efficiency of several small Milwaukee hammer drills, both corded and un-corded, in situations where vacuums are not required. We bought both the 1" model and the 1-1/8" 18V Fuel, both with Hammervac attachments. Unfortunately, the drill-hammer and vacuum combo is big and heavy. Our employees simply reject them without really trying them out, because of weight and size compared to our Makita BHR243 with DX02 (we have around 10 of them in daily use). For us the new Hammervacs are too big and heavy compared to competition (Makita, Hilti and DeWalt).
