1-1/4 Inch SDS-Plus 13 Amp Heavy Duty Rotary Hammer Drill with Safety Clutch 4 Functions and Variable Speed, Including Chisels and Drill Bits

I had the small Bauer hammer drill and it was fine for most drilling work I have thrown at it but wasn't cutting it for light demo work. I was ready to get its bigger brother but they didn't have any at the first store I tried near closing time (despite the website saying they did). I looked on Amazon and this one was bigger and had its own bits for less money and I could get it first thing the next morning. I was a bit hesitant but after getting it and putting it to work this thing was a beast. The grease is replaceable and it came with a tool like a grinder wrench to open it. I did add some because I worked it pretty hard but it never complained. The Bauer one I have leaked grease profusely with way less abuse and its not serviceable. It did the job I wanted and the bits held up better than the cheap ones I had bought before but not as well as the Bosch ones I had. Overall if you have some drilling or light demo needs this more than did the job for me and I was pleasantly surprised with the overall quality it was an amazing find even with the odd name and color scheme. For reference I used it to break up 3 large concrete lumps that were once around some long gone wooden posts near my front porch. It was several hours of hammering to break them up to my satisfaction so I could park there. Sure a full size jack hammer would have finished the job much faster than waiting for one to get here and I really don't have a need for one and this was better than renting one as I have a solid hammer drill for future use.

Is it a heavy-duty breaker? No, nor does it claim to be. I am building a small basement bathroom and needed to move the toilet and shower plumbing a few inches. I was not able to break through the 30-year-old 4-inch concrete and had to rent a heady duty breaker, but once I broke through, I was able to use this rotary hammer drill and chip away more concrete with the right technic. Now, I know what you are thinking, why not just rent a big jack hammer and call it good, well I rented it for a day and after I returned it, I found out that I needed to break away more concrete and that's when this tool came in handy. Much cheaper than a day's rental of a bigger unit and not to mention that this drill can remove tile and grout with ease, and I'll be using it to do a few other projects around the house. All the work that I have done with it, has more than paid for itself. This is an excellent unit in my humble opinion.

Bought this for small bathroom job. Works well. Does get hot when constant use. But did the job of taking tile up from a cement bed. Heavy duty easy to operate and great price

Excellent product. Absolutely essential to our tile bathroom remodel! Probably saved us 30 hours of chisel work!

I bought this to cut a hole in my 100 yr old concrete basement floor to install a sump pump. A saw would had been to messy in the basement or I would had borrowed one. I looked into renting tools to cut the floor, but the cost would had been 3x as much as buying this hammer drill. Is this tool designed to jackhammer through a 100 yr old 6" concrete floor? no. Did it? yes. I worked on it a little at a time, bust for a while, then clean out my loose so the drill could cool. I cut a 3x3' square hole in the floor in maybe 2 hours, I was not in a hurry. the hardest part was getting the hole started, then after that it was just time. The drill came with greased, but I added more to be sure (came with) The drill does get hot if you use for long period of time and some grease will get on the end of the bit. But the little drill worked just fine, hammering away. I figured if this tool lasts for the sump pump, I still came out to the better then renting. But since cutting the floor, I have used it to drill a few holes in a concrete wall. This summer I will use it to bust up the old block wall and brick stairs to my basement on the outside to rebuild and may use it on the poured back porch steps. They are much thicker, so I am not sure if the tool is large enough to take that on, but we will see. I am happy with my hammer drill and for a small hammer job, cleaning up or drilling I think this tool would suit anyone. To use as a commercial jackhammer, no it will not handle that, buy the correct tool for the job. But for handy people or home owners, I think it would be a good buy.
