A great tool for many projects [Posted on 2006-02-03]
I bought this drill from Amazon in 2004. It was after hurricanes Frances and Jean slammed South Florida. I had a 1/2" DeWalt hammer drill, but I gave it to my son so he could install shutters on his house.
Anyhow, I have found this drill to be exceptional. I recently switched from plywood shutters to aluminum panels for hurricane protection. I used the Bosch drill for all the Tapcon holes. Zero problems. The depth gauge works flawlessly, and the drill has more than ample power. It has nice balance and the removable chuck key is really heavy duty. The case is sturdy and the drill and all accessories fit nicely into it.
Having used both DeWalt and Bosch hammer drills, I have no doubt Bosch is the way to go.
Bosch hammer drill review [Posted on 2007-01-04]
The Bosch Hammer Drill preformed better than expected. It's great for light to medium duty work.
Recently bought--hoping for the best [Posted on 2007-01-22]
I very recently bought this factory reconditioned 1/2" hammer drill and have only drilled some minor pieces of wood just to confirm that it works properly (it does). After receiving the drill I read additional Amazon reviews for "new" 1199VSRK 1/2" drills, and these reviews were not at all favorable (two reviews for the reconditioned version, however, were very positive). The majority of reviewers indicated that their brand new drills failed completely after only very modest use. I've decided to hang onto the reconditioned one I bought, because I don't anticipate using it that often, and sending things back for exchange or refund is a pain. I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that the reconditioned drill I bought lasts a few years. I have many Bosch power tools and have never seen such bad reviews for any of their tools. Maybe in the reconditioning process Bosch has been able to cure the problems seemingly built in to the new models. Also, next time I'm shopping for a reconditioned tool I'll be sure to read the reviews for the "brand new" version of the same tool. Here's hoping for the best. . . .
Looks Brand New [Posted on 2008-07-15]
The drill and case look brand new, not a scratch or mark on any part of it. The drill itself is a heavy duty looking tool, a little bigger than your standtard drill. I have not used it on any large projects yet, but it has worked great so far on what I have needed it for.
