If you’re busting up concrete all day, the Bosch GSH 5 SDS Max Demolition Hammer is the one you reach for when every bit of time matters and muscle alone won’t cut it on the slab or wall — this beast punches out material with authority and keeps going. Built with a 1,100 W motor and about 7.5 J impact energy, it’s not the biggest breaker in the Bosch lineup, but it’s the sweet spot for tradies who need solid performance without lugging around a monster.

And here’s what tradespeople really care about: the SDS Max tool holder means you can swap chisels fast without faffing around — simple, reliable, and standard on most heavy‑duty jobsites. It’s balanced, packs a high impact rate around 2,850 bpm, and feels like it was designed by someone who’s smacked a few walls themselves.

• 1,100 W Motor - Delivers constant power for breaking and chiselling in hard concrete without bogging down.
• SDS Max Chisel System - Lets you change bits fast and keeps the connection solid when you’re tearing into tough stuff.
• Optimized Impact Energy - Around 7.5 J of impact force gets through material faster than lower‑powered hammers.
