If anyone has done much with power tools, using this tool is fairly self-evident. Once knowing how to insert the chisels into the driver, the rest is straight forward. Definitely, need to use two hands. Being able to adjust the position of the chisels is a great help to get at close spaces and angles. I used it to replace bricks on my chimney, that were set with concrete and not mortar. I had originally started with a pneumatic chisel, but my compressor only had a 6 gallon tank, so the pressure dropped within 30 seconds and the compressor could not keep up. This is my only use so far, but will easily pay for itself, over hiring a bricklayer or even renting a power chisel, especially since I will have to replace few more bricks next year.

This ‘Boschhammer’ is an incredible machine. It is much lighter than other demolition hammer drills and more powerful than most of similar size ad weight. It is the ‘standard’ unless you consider the much more expensive Hilti-drills. We have blown out a cheaper model quickly, this one only used a few weeks, but we used a previous model for many years. I expect this to last as well for many years and many projects. HomeDepot.com carries it at a great price as a single unit or comb- pack with grinderFor light demolition and drilling in concrete (we did up to 5/8″) – I highly recommend this hammer drill

Was way more powerful than my previous off brand rotary hammer. I used it to remove plaster and it just kept kicking no matter how hard I pushed it. Despite the dust, the motor still didn’t have any strange sounds like my previous hammer. It is loud so definitely invest in someway protection and a little heavy, but POWERFUL

It gets the job done when lesser hammer drills can’t

I’ve owned hammer drills in the past. Had a Hilti and a Makita. Both were battery powered because I used them in the field. When the batteries need replacing they’re almost the cost of a new drill. The Bosch is electric and that will suit my needs now. It powered through concrete (with aggregate mixed in) steps like a champ! Extremely happy with the performance and the price!

My job was to put a railing on our back concrete steps.This is my first time working with concrete so….I bought a low end hammer drill, $50 or so. The concrete is about 3″ thick. The cheaper drill just couldn’t do it. I went through two drill bits.Did a little research and found this BOSCH Bulldog Rotary Hammer drill, about $200. I also bought a double carbide tipped BOSCH drill bit. This drill went through the concrete like nothing.I had the job done in about 20 minutes. Now I’m looking for more concrete jobs ha ha. As I say, I’m no expert on drilling concrete, but this drill did the job in a hurry.

Had a Milwaukee that would heat up and it eventually broke after a year. Milwaukee wouldn’t fix it even though it was under warranty, gave me the run around. I gave up on them fixing it, so I bought the Bulldog. Doing the same work as I did with the Milwaukee, it doesn’t heat up and does the job quicker even though my Milwaukee had more power.

Great tool to have in the tool closet. I used it to pull up about 100 ceramic kitchen tiles that had been down for 20 years. It blasted them away with ease. I wish it had the ability to use regular drill bits. It only takes SDS Bits. But still not a deal breaker. I even had my wife using it.

Warning: Rank Amateur construction hobbyist. I needed to anchor a small back-yard building on a pre-existing slab. I own a Makita hand-held hammer drill (which I also think highly of) and first attempted the job with that and an appropriate cement/masonry bit (3/8ths) per my anchors. After draining two batteries and only gaining a half an inch (if that) – I went out on YouTube for more information on what I was attempting. One of the presenters recommended the Bosch Bulldog. With same bit in hand, and some trepidation, I went to my worksite with this hammer drill in tow wondering how quickly I’d be returning it to Home Depot. One word: Butter. The drill created the hole I needed in less than 20 seconds and my hands were not vibrating after the experience. “Right tool for the job” my dad always said. This is a classic case in point. I’m impressed with this hammer drill. And I’m not taking it back like a prom-dress worn once. I’ll just need to find some more concrete that needs drilling. The cost came down to $11 a hole, but I needed the building anchored and renting hammer drills was harder than I imagined in the midst of the Covid pandemic.

I have used this drill in construction for many years. It’s a medium duty drill and works well.

Excellent item..I bought this to replace a De-walt, and it has nothing to do with this bosch, it is much better in all..(BullDog Xtreme) I made the frame of a closet and it was very useful in concrete perforations wall. thanks a lot

Butta’ baby…this tool made my job as easy as a hot knife thru butta’. This drill, combined with the bulldog bit went through 50 year old concrete with heavy aggregate a breeze. I also grabbed a chisel bit to work on some pavement stones. Will provide an update later.
