I’ve researched hammer drills to use for the remodelling of a bathroom in my home. After some serious thought and a lot of comparison (to other hammer drills from other manufacturer’s) I settled on this Bosch hammer drill. As I intended, I used this drill to break up a tile floor which was done quickly and with little effort. After I had the tile up I was surprised to find that the tile was set in a light cement or mortar which was about 2 inches thick. I put this drill to work again and with a 1 1/2 inch chisel bit and I began to bust out the cement. Once again, the job was done quickly with little effort. I used this drill and that bit for a few other things, during my project, and it always worked out better than expected.

I have already recommended this drill to two friends who are tackling their own remodelling work and I recommend this particular drill to anybody who needs a hammer drill with good power. This is one of the best tools in my arsenal!
