The drill was just what I needed. I don’t use one everyday so this smaller one was good for me.

So far so great. Only used once in the first week of ownership. Vibration was nearly aboslete in drill/ hammer mode. Plenty of power to drive 5/8” bits.

If you are in the market for a mid-sized rotary hammer, look no further than the Bosch SDS-Plus 1 1/8 Inch Rotary Hammer, Model RH328VC. The first thing I noticed is how well balanced the tool feels and easy to use. At 7.7 lbs and 14.5 inches wide, along with a very effective anti-vibration system, it’s designed for all day use. I am very impressed with the tools ergonomics, features and performance.The Bosch RH328VC Rotary Hammer has a powerful 8 amp variable speed motor, delivering 0-900 rpm, 0-4,000 bpm, and 2.6 ft-lbs of impact energy. It has a capacity of 1 1/8” hammer drill bit and 3” concrete hole saw. The RH328VC includes an all metal gear case and mechanical clutch to protect the motor in case the bit binds. It includes three modes of operation: rotation only, hammering, and drilling and hammering. It also has a mode for accurately adjusting a chisel style bit when hammering. A side handle is also included which has an integral depth adjustment rod. It took only a few seconds to drill 3/8” holes through 4 inches of concrete.Overall, I am very pleased with the Bosch 1 1/8” Rotary Hammer. It’s small enough to be very comfortable performing small jobs, yet large enough to perform the vast majority of tasks most users will ever encounter.

I had a couple of projects around the house to do and this came in really handy. One was to drill a bunch of holes for tapcons to attach sleeps to a concrete floor. I started with a hammer drill and it was going okay. Then this showed up and wow, what a difference. It’s like drill through wood with a drill.The other project was to rebuild the steps on my walkway. They were brick over the original concrete walkway. This past winter did a number on them and the step were falling apart. most of the brick came off by hand. But on one of the step I wanted to move them back a little so i needed to remove some of the old concrete. With a 3/4″ bit and a chisel bit it was knocked back in no time and with next to no effort.The tool comes with a nice case that has extra room for some bit’s which is nice. There is plenty of room for the rotary hammer and its cord.The only word of caution is to make sure you take care of the chuck. If you don’t it make getting the bits in and out hard. Other than that there is really no maintenance. There is mention of replacing some bearing and chuck over time but i doubt i will ever wear this thing out.

As the old saying goes, you can work hard, or work smart! I’ve been re-tiling my house, and was killing myself with the old fashioned hand scraper to remove old tile that were really stuck in place. I got this Bosch 1-1/8 Inch SDS-Plus Drop Down Rotary Hammer Drill Model RH328VC and my life just got a lot easier! Paired up with the Bosch Tile Chisel, this beast tears up tile like nothing I have ever used before! Bosch makes a whole bunch of other SDS-Plus accessories that I now look forward to trying out, including the Bosch 1618571014 SDS-plus Shank 3 Jaw Chuck so I can use my regular drill bits in this drill. I really love the extra large trigger on this hammer drill, and the simple to use controls. The depth gauge was a nice addition to it as well. Even the carrying case is well-built and has enough room to store extra bits. All in all, I love this beautiful beast! Thanks Bosch, and Home Depot!

I had never used a real hammer drill before. Not sure why. I wanted to split an overhanging end of a granite step, so I ordered some 1/2″ feathers and wedges and borrowed a neighbor’s Bosch Bulldog drill. OMG! That was so easy I couldn’t believe it. I just had to get one for myself.I didn’t do too much research, but I did discover that the “1-1/8″ size is the maximum drill bit size that the drill is rated for. I don’t know what material they rate that in (concrete?), but it’s all relative, so the larger the more powerful the drill is. This drill seemed like a good price point for me and I liked the vertical format over the horizontal of the Bulldog.I’ve now drilled and split a number of granite blocks, some 10″ thick using this drill and a 1/2″ carbide bit (Bosch HCFC2081 1/2-Inch by 4-Inch by 6-Inch SDS-plus X5L Drill Bit). I’ve also drilled and split a number of foundation stones in front of my barn so that I could cozy a large granite landing up to the sill. . Those were difficult to split, but each hole only took about 30 seconds to drill. I bought a longer carbide drill for future rock work.Let me assure you that this drill and a 1/2” carbide bit will drill a four inch hole in a stone or a block of granite in 30 seconds. I drill 18 holes down the middle of a six foot block in a matter of minutes. What’s more, there’s no need to push on the drill. I just hold it upright and let the weight of the drill and the hammer action do all the work! This means you can work for hours drilling with no fatigue.I also used the chisel action to remove a 100 square foot area of pavement with an asphalt/stone underlayment. For that i used a chisel (Bosch HS1470 SDS Plus Viper Long Life Chisel). I think this was pushing it for the drill. It’s not really a jackhammer, of course. I got the job done, but it took quite a while and was a tiring job. The chisel bit sacrificed its life for the job, as well. My neighbor says it should have been easier with a pick, but it’s too late for me to know. I don’t think you should expect a drill this size to handle hard code chiseling demo work.The SDS PLUS chuck is “ok”. It’s a bit tricky to get the bit seated, but it’s not enough of a problem to influence my recommendation. I didn’t realize there’s an SDS MAX chuck. Not sure if it’s just in more expensive drills, but it might be worth a look for you. I think bit price and availability should play a big role in your decision of chuck, though.

This is an Engineered MasterPiece!! I have just drilled 48 holes in brick and mortar ( started with brick and had a brick crack so I drilled slower into the mortar and had no other issues or cracks)! I felt minimal vibration in my wrist/hand due to the designed movement of the handle. I have only used about 1/3 or 1/2 throttle on this thing and it just pulverizes the mortar even drilling about 1.5 inch from the brick edge without cracking once I eased off the throttle!! If you are in need of a professional level contractor grade hammer drill look no further!!

this is the second unit I have purchased. The tool is well balanced and easy to use. A little under powered for some jobs but good for most small projects.

Excellent tool, I had to bust concrete in a very tight area in order to fix a pipe leak. I drilled holes first then was able to chip out the concrete with no problem. I don’t know how I could have done it without this tool.

I had been waiting to find one like this for a long time. This item was very highly recommened to me as number two if you could afford one.The first one was Hilti but that one was out of my budget. This one comparded to other brands has been proven to take more stress and workload than the other name brands and more reliable that the others. For me this one was more that adquit for my jobs. This one I like because it was light weight and powerful…

I couldn’t resist to say thank you to BOSCH engineering department for designing such a great and perfect tool.As an electrician with more than 12 years of experience, I have used different kinds of rotary hammers and hammer drills to make holes in concrete as a part of my job. After working with this rotary hammer approximately for two years now, my comment is: This is the best rotary hammer that you can buy (of course, in its class). It has exceeded my expectations. When I say “in its class”, I mean you should consider its capacity as an SDS Plus rotary hammer. You cannot compare it with an SDS MAX rotary hammer.I am extremely satisfied with this rotary hammer for having the following features:1) It is powerful enough to make holes in concrete very easily in its capacity. 2) The RPM and BPM have been designed very wisely. So, you can make holes in concrete very easily. They have been designed just right. If these two parameters were too high or too low, you couldn’t make holes in concrete with that ease. 3) The vibration control is awesome. You feel very little stress or pressure on your hands. You can work a whole day without hurting your hands.4) The integral clutch mechanism works perfectly. When the bit gets stuck for any reason, this mechanism stops the bit from rotating and saves your wrist and tool. 5) The tool is light, so you can use it for a whole day with ease.6) The tool has been designed as compact as possible, so you can use it in tighter places.7) You can rotate and tighten its handle to any angle you want very easily. It can be removed from the rotary hammer very easily as well, if you want. 8) The depth gauge enables you not to go more than your desired depth

I have always used the rotary setting on a regular drill or rented a Bosch hammer drill. I have a lot of earthquake tiedowns and mudsill bolts to install soon so I figured I should buy my own hammerdrill. I have only drilled a dozen or so holes with it and it has saved a lot of time and effort and allows for more precise drilling. Should have bought it sooner.
