Customer Reviews:

excellent, well-made tool [Posted on 2007-10-08]
I've been very impressed with this tool is performed flawlessly in all respects. It is nice to use a quality piece of machinery that dependably performs day after day. I've mostly use this tool for drilling into block with a 3/16" bitand it absolutely choose straight into the block like I was drilling into foam. the case is nice and the ergonomics of the tool also were very helpful.

Sure not my experience with this unit.... [Posted on 2007-10-17]
Whoa! I'm normally a Bosch tool fan - gots lots of 'em. This brand new one, however, decided to give me three 3/8" x 4" pilot holes in cured concrete, then two 5/8" holes, smoked the motor, and quit on me. All the appropriate precautions (water-cooled bit, moderate pressure, etc.) could not keep this Humpty-Dumpty together. Really disappointing. I pinged Bosch to see what they are willing to do about it since it's over one year old and out of warranty. Will it be the end of my love affair with Bosch tools???

Bosch 11224VSR 7/8" SDS Rotary Hammer This drill made drilling 22, 3/4"X21/2" holes in a concrete slab like I was drilling in wood. The vibration was nothing compared to my Milwaukee. This one is a keeper.

Worked great until it failed [Posted on 2008-04-13]
I bought this tool to remove tile in my shower. For a couple hours, it worked fantastic on the hammer function. But then it just stopped hammering. The chisel would vibrate mildly, but not enough to do any good. After moving it around at different angles and letting it run, it would occasionally start hammering again, but not for long, and it's back in the mild vibration mode. It's totally useless for the hammer function now (which was what I bought it for), and I've gotten only about two hours worth of use out of it. I'll return it tomorrow, and I'll probably upgrade to the next model up in hopes that it lasts a bit longer.

Stucco and more [Posted on 2008-04-17]
Bought this at the local Big Orange Retail Giant, cuz I needed it tonight. It chews up 35 yr old stucco very nicely, and much faster than a bricklayers hammer. Putting in new windows and eventually going to cut a weep screed opening across a 75 ft expanse so I wanted a tool that was fast enough and yet not too heavy for use on a ladder.
