Bosch Rotary Hammer PBH 2100 RE (550 watts, in case)

Great rotary hammer for home use. Powerful enough for concrete and brick, lightweight, and comes in a handy case. Very good choice for DIY.

Excellent bit of kit . Complete with its own storage box . Easy to use and with the tool which I also purchased at the time , it made light work of getting the floor tiles up . It's right what they say . You need the right tools to do the job . This was so easy and made , the age of a hammer and bolster seem like a bygone time . The item is a good piece of kit for home use and saves you an age in "tool time " Well made and a fair price for a time saver .

Wonderful product

Great drill but only takes SMS drill bits which are more expensive or buy an adapter for £15 but then it's bulky and heavy at the point you need to see so it's awkward for lighter jobs. Overall a very capable bit of kit for the price

Using this drill is one of life's pleasures. I see why other reviewers have said they'd like to take their's on holiday with them. It cuts through concrete and brick like it's not even there. You'll actually be wondering if there is a problem with the wall you're drilling into because it does it so effortlessly. You have to buy new drill bits because it uses a great system for inserting and retaining the bits but this is also fantastic. It's also not just a hammer drill. It's a normal drill, a driver and a chisel if you buy the chisel bits. If you do take it with you on holiday, don't check it in with your suitcases as baggage handlers will certainly grab it. The security people on the x-ray machine will understand and let you through when they see the look of joy and satisfaction you have on your face as you describe using this drill to them.

Very happy with this product, perfect size, performance, value for money and great for a DIY.

I bought this drill, having read reviews for a number of SDS drills, for a specific job - getting kitchen floor tiles (and the adhesive)off a concrete floor. It was very good and did the job very well but I noticed it got quite hot quite quickly and so let it cool down every few minutes (which slowed down the job). Then, about 5 minutes into the task the next day, there was a "pop" and the thing burned out. We had to go to the local DIY store where they had a special offer on a higher wattage one - just £30! We finished the job with that. In the past, our Bosch tools have been very good and so I have given this a 3 because I don't suppose this particular tool is typical and Amazon were brilliant - the return process on the defective drill could not have been simpler. So, my mark for the drill while it was working is 5. Mark for Amazon return system is 5 but the mark for this specific drill is 1! I don't want a good tool to be marked down because of a defective example. Maybe the manufacturing should go back to Germany rather than China! My only comment would be that, for taking up floor tiles, the more powerful one we bought to replace this was better and so, if buying an SDS drill in the future, I would always go for a 900+ Watt rather than a 550W like this. For household drilling jobs like drilling the odd hole into masonry etc., this one is fine though.

Really happy with this. Mostly used fir drilling exterior house walls and this made it nice and simple compared to my non hammer drill.

After a lot of research and reading online reviews, I finalized on this Bosch sds drill as I needed one to build garage shelves on a brick wall. I own a Bosch 750W universal impact hammer drill and I did not have a pleasant experience with it when drilling through the Victorian bricks which are as hard as stone. After finally getting my hands on this sds drill, I gave it a go on one of the spare bricks lying in my backyard, and I was in for a pleasant surprise. This drill is totally bang for the buck. It drilled through the brick effortlessly like a hot knife through butter. I was able to drill a 5cm deep hole using an 8mm sds drill from Bosch in like under 15 secs. Wish I had bought this drill before I purchased the universal impact drill, which is a good drill on its own, but nothing compared to this beast. Without any doubts I would highly recommend this sds drill.

the user manual is poorly written and no instruction how to install regular drill bit and no mention of adapter to insert regular bits
