Rotary hammer
A rotary hammer is a power tool with a rotating machine tool for drilling in masonry, concrete, artificial and natural stone. Rotary hammers are equipped with a percussive hammer mechanism. The striking energy of a rotary hammer is independent of operator pressure.
If the hammer mechanism is turned off, the rotary hammer can be used like a drill. If the rotation mechanism is turned off, the rotary hammer turns into a percussion hammer. Tool speed and impact force of the rotary hammer can be adjusted electronically to match the processed material.
The exceptional impact force of the Bosch rotary hammers enables you to even perform wall breakthroughs quickly and without tiring yourself out. Whether it be outdoors or indoors, drilling in masonry, concrete and wood, or heavy-duty chiselling and cutting work – the rotary hammers from Bosch impress every time due to their high power and low weight.
A rotary hammer from Bosch is a truly multi-talented tool: Bosch rotary hammers are in their element not only when drilling in concrete with their pneumatic hammer mechanisms, but also when making and fitting solid wooden structures such as summerhouses or carports. Thanks to the powerful motors of the Bosch rotary hammers, you can drill and drive screws with extreme power, even at large diameters.
Overview of all rotary hammers from Bosch
Bosch Rotary Hammers – The SDS-plus fitting system
Bosch SDS-plus is a rapid tool fitting system for rotary hammers. Together with the specially designed drill bits, this enables highly efficient power transfer from the rotary hammer to the drill bit and is therefore the main reason behind the outstanding drilling performance of Bosch rotary hammers. The drill bits of rotary hammers equipped with SDS-plus system are also changed quickly and without tools.
Bosch Rotary Hammers – The pneumatic hammer mechanism
Bosch rotary hammers work with pneumatic hammer mechanisms. Unlike impact drills, rotary hammers generate the impact force themselves – this reduces the force you have to exert to achieve high feed pressure. This matters, especially when working with your rotary hammer on hard materials such as concrete or stone. You will be amazed how quickly and easily you progress and how comparatively low the noise and vibration development of a Bosch rotary hammer is.
Bosch Rotary Hammers – The Vario-Lock
Rotary hammers from Bosch are equipped with Vario-Lock. This enables you to fix the chisel in the different required positions and allows you to always select the optimum angle between the wall and the chisel. With these ergonomic and convenient rotary hammers, you will be able to complete even large tiled surfaces in no time.
Bosch Rotary Hammers – The SDS Quick-Change Chuck
SDS stands for the quick changing of accessories without the need for additional tools. On the new Bosch rotary hammer PBH 3000-2 FRE you can simply replace the SDS-plus drill chuck with a keyless chuck. In this way, you can use not only the SDS-plus accessories at any time but also your normal straight-shank drill bits (e.g. for metalworking or woodworking).
