If you’ve been around job sites much you’ll know that a good rotary hammer isn’t just another drill — and the proves that right from the first bit it chews through concrete. This beast is an 18 V SDS‑plus cordless hammer that’s compact enough to swing all day yet has real bite — 1.9 J of impact energy and up to ~4,675 blows per minute mean it doesn’t shy away from dense block or reinforced work.

It’s not just power for power’s sake — Bosch built in thoughtful control tech like Vibration Control and KickBack Control so you’re not fighting every hole you drill. And here’s the thing: that dust‑free work option with Auto Power GDE 12 extractor makes life easier on long pours or finished surfaces.

Key Features:

• SDS‑plus chuck – quick bit changes and solid bit grip so you stay moving on the job.
• Vibration Control – cuts the shake so your arms and hands don’t get hammered along with the concrete.
• KickBack Control – shuts power down if the bit binds, helping prevent wrist injuries.
• Constant speed motor – keeps performance steady even under load so you don’t bog down in hard material.
• Dust‑free ready – pairs with an extractor for cleaner workspaces and less cleanup time.

Applications

In practice, the cordless rotary hammer shines where other drills struggle — hammer drilling holes in concrete and masonry up to ~22 mm, light chiselling, and even drilling in wood or metal when you switch modes. It’s great for anchors, rebar prep, and through‑holes on renovation or new build projects alike.
