Bosch 11236VS 7.5 Amp 1-1/8-Inch SDS Rotary Hammer Testimonials 
By ty cook (Garden City, Ks) 

I am a contractor who uses a rotary hammer a couple of hours each week. I bought the Bosch 1 1/8 inch sdsplus rotohammer about 3 weeks ago, following a reconditioned and used milwaukee unit stopped hammering (after about three weeks). I had been pretty happy, at first. 
A few days ago, I checked out a few of the reviews on here, and grew worried about the chuck loosening up. Affirmed, after i checked it, it moved about 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch having a 12 inch bit. I took it back.


B.T.W., I contacted Bosch, and they basically said that SDS-Plus hammers aren't created for much chipping. I do chip alot, and so i am probably going to take thier suggestion and obtain an SDS-Max hammer. I might still get a Bosch. 


If you are planning on buying this hammer for drilling, it is probably a great tool (and also the case is very well organized). If you are considering doing any chipping besides some very light chipping, I suggest getting an SDS-Max or spline drive. You might be disappointed in a SDS-Plus hammer.

I borrowed this tool to dril 12 holes in concrete for anchoring. 6-inch deep and 3/4-inch in diameter. I finished the job in less then 20 minutes. Acctually drilling time was just about Ten minutes. So smooth and simple to make use of.

If you're done drilling 3/8" tapcons and want to drill a genuine hole in concrete you need to place the cordless down. I did a lot of checking before I bought a hammer drill because I wasnt experienced with these drills. I expanded my work to include exterior foundation work. You need a quality hammer drill to do the job right. This Bosch SDS rotary is perfect for drilling those 1" holes in concrete or brick,or chiseling out brick. If you're not going to be drilling 2" holes using your foundation,you dont need any more drill than this.Anything smaller than this is a waste. This Bosch is a work horse and it is still easy on the hands.
