Product Description Extreme Power with Fingertip ControlA rotary hammer is a power tool with a rotating machine tool for drilling in masonry, concrete and artificial or natural stone. It is equipped with a percussive hammer mechanism. The striking energy is independent of operator pressure. With the hammer mechanism turned off, the rotary hammer can be used like a drill; with the rotation mechanism turned off, it turns into a percussion hammer. Tool speed and impact force can be adjusted electronically to match the processed material. The PBH 2500 has the versatility and power you need.Click here for a larger image.Rotary hammers from Bosch are truly multi-talented tools: hammering, drilling and chiselling are combined in one tool. They are in their element not only when drilling in concrete with their pneumatic hammer mechanism, but also when producing and fitting solid wooden structures such as summer houses or carports.The Bosch PBH 2500 SRE comes with a powerful 600-watt motor that ensures effortless hammering in concrete and masonry, chiselling and drilling.Resistance is FutileThe pneumatic Bosch hammer mechanism has an impact energy of 1.9 joules. This gives high impact force in hard materials regardless of the feed pressure. It enables you to perform wall breakthroughs quickly without tiring yourself out.Selection SwitchWhether hammering, chiselling, drilling or screwdriving, the selection switch ensures you have the right setting. The impact stop switches off the hammer mechanism when drilling in wood or metal and when screwdriving. The rotation stop switches off the rotary motion when chisellingBosch SDS-Plus Standard keyed chuck for the PBH 2500. The Bosch SDS-Plus system allows for rapid bit fitting.

Great drill, even through stone. Do not hesitate to buy.
*This is a real review* Researched all the drills around this price range (£75 including delivery) and finally decided on this one as a couple reviews said it went through stone easily. I was worried but am very happy to report that, after using it to drill holes through an old stone cottage wall to hang a heavy wooden gate, I had no problem whatsoever. Anyone I had previously spoken to about drilling through stone was pretty negative. This drill proved them wrong. No need for an expensive "professional" level drill. I LOVE it! Also, it was a bit unclear whether it was sds-plus - it is. Not too big or heavy for a five foot female the wrong side of fifty either.

Is it working properly ?
I bought his nearly a month ago and have used it twice. I will be using it principally as a power chisel and have bought a Bosch SDS chisel set. It is certainly powerful enough but the chisel head rotates during use. I have the operating mode and directional controls in the correct position but the chisel head rotates from flat to the surface to perpendicular so you have to keep changing the way you hold it. Can someone tell me if this is to be expected ? The manual says that setting the control to "chiselling" will lock the tool, but this is obviously not happening. Is this machine faulty ?(By the way it was delivered by Parcelforce - rubbish service - 'cos no one was in the house it was left at a Post Office - not the local one, but one miles away and had to be collected. Message to Amazon - don't use Parcelforce)Update: Machine returned to Bosch UK (excellent service - picked up and returned within the week) - However "found to be working within specifications" - If you are thinking of buying this to use as a power chisel don't bother.

Tough little drill...
Great quality tool.I have used this for some major renovations including putting piping through brick walls, breaking up concrete flooring, removing tiles and drilling a few holes. Despite being lighter and smaller than other SDS drills, this handled everything I could throw at it. Admittedly, after a lot of punishment it looks a bit beaten up now but it is still going strong.Would highly recommend.

Essential
Cannot fault this purchase. This might be an over favourable review to some hardcore diy enthusiasts but since this was my first SDS drill I can't believe I hadn't bought one before. Had it for over a year, very sturdy and reliable. Lots of friends and family have borrowed it too and it always delivers. At the time I opted for a wired rather than cordless drill because I don't use it regularly and didn't want to have to charge a battery each time I started a bit of diy work. Hope this helps people decide who were pontificating like me.
