I bought an e-bike and the insurance company insisted I fit a Sold Secure Gold ground anchor in the garage. Hiring an SDS drill for a day was so expensive I decided to buy one.
It is no lightweight at 3.5kg but the cheaper ones were 5.5 to 6.5kg. It is surprisingly easy to manage despite the weight and made short work of the garage floor and I had the ground anchor fitted in half an hour.
It has since been used to attach racks to the garage wall, drill holes through 50mm timber when building a work bench and most recently I added a chisel to break up a chunk of concrete we found digging the hole for a pond.
It is a great bit of kit, doesn’t get used as often as my cordless drill but it does make some projects much easier (possible) when needed. If you need some serious grunt, get one of these.
I’m a great fan of the Bosch Professional Drills and other equipment. Had to replace this one because some thieving git nicked my last one out of my van. Have nearly all Bosch equipment both for work and in my home and to my mind the brand represents good value for money.
Compared to my old black and decker drill, this is very different. No more problems with hard walls, albeit it is best to drill a pilot hole and only switch on hammer action past the plaster. Also may need to drop the drill bit size down by 0.5mm because of the hammer action making the hole a tiny bit bigger. Great for DIY, drilled 144 holes for shelves.
A first class drill. With the right drill bits it went through concrete like it wasn’t there. Only downside is the depth gauge is completely unreliable – the drill vibrations make it go loose and it can be easily moved during drilling. That’s not good when you need a precise depth. I had to use some duck tape to fix it in place.
Also, a small red dot, visible in picts, dropped out, that doesn’t seem to belong to the red trigger, so it looks like it might have been jamming something inside the handle. It looks like a drop off from the mould or something like that.
Be careful people, and if you can’t get the handle to move – maybe better return the item.
I’m going to file a complaint and see where it gets.
UPDATE: I’m putting it on 4* as ordered another handle and drill works great, hammered down a wall of plaster in less than an hour. I contacted Bosch customers service, so will see what they say.
Chose the Bosch above other makes on recommendations of colleagues. More expensive but well specified and easy to use, spare parallel shank drill chuck included. Previous drill wobbly due to drilling through many thick stone walls this one has given no problems so far. Presently looking for walls to drill
So I have a few drill I find that different drills serve different purposes. With the battery drills I get portability and with the 18v light weight which can be a godsend on some jobs. But you do need a drill with sheer power. I have an impact drill by Bosch it’s excellent and really powerful. I also have an sds it’s pretty good too. But the problem is that they have qualities that calls upon both drills on a job. Which means carrying more weight than I want. But this drill offers the use of both types. Sds and also non sds just by changing the Chuck. And changing the Chuck is really easy to do. Not a fix to the Chuck Chuck but a quick switch. You can then use it for all jobs and use your full range of drill bits. That’s really special. But don’t forget that this is a really powerful drill and easy to understand how to use it . It’s a little heavy which may put some users off (non super tough tradesmen) but for me that feels reassuring. If you have one drill or even one plug in drill, you can’t go wrong with this one
Thought treat myself to a new drill normally buy cheap but thought would push the boat out and so glad I did what a drill so smooth and drills so straight no movement at all my drills alway lack power and use to burn the drill tip out can’t go wrong with a Bosch this and won’t be disappointed buy
I need a drill that would cut fairly large diameter holes in stones from granites to softer sandstone, and to dress stones to various shapes such as corners or coping stones. This makes the job so much easier.
Great piece of equipment. Solid and robust. Good value for money.
Absolutely brilliant piece of kit. Best drill i have ever owned. Goes through concrete like butter.
I live in a house with incredibly dense old brick with a high iron content. With my previous (standard rotary hammer drill) I would hit spots of the wall where there was no hope in getting through, the drill bits would just get destroyed.
This goes through them no problem, in and out like butter. It’s expensive, but well worth the cost if you have difficult brick. It will pay for itself in drill bits not being destroyed!
Strong and do the job. Very recommended if you won’t be disappointed thank you.
First of all I am a rubbish DIY’er. Having moved into a house that was built around 1865 and was owned by an elderly couple there is sadly a lot of DIY needed. Putting up shelves, curtain rails and taking tiles off the walls to name a few.
My old power drill is about 25 years and is pretty rubbish, it has a hammer drill setting but that is as fancy as it gets. My wife persuaded me to invest in a new drill. I was reluctant to spend another handful of cash on something I already owned, I mean, how different can a new drill be?
Well…… It is as different as my old van to Lewis Hamilton’s racing car! They will both get you from A to B but the Lewis’s car will get you there a touch faster and make your life a whole lot more fun in the process.
This drill first of all has a trigger control to start it slowly, squeeze harder and it goes faster so it means an idiot like me can actually make a hole where it is meant to be and not have the drill bit slide off to somewhere it wants to make a hole.
Secondly, it has power, I mean real punch through this brick, stone or cement like it is soft cheeses. Changing the drill bits is easy, apparently it is because they are SDS ( I had no idea what that actually meant).
Overall, I could not be happier with this, well yes I could, it could be shiny! But quite seriously, this is one good drill, it makes light of any drilling jobs we have, I have taken tiles off a loo wall and then looked for more destruction to reap.
Only thing is, you REALLY need ear defenders, it is noisy otherwise it is bloody brilliant.
After burning out my dewalt SDS drilling sleepers for fixing (13mm rail pins) so a 6mm hole then a 13mm hole through old sleepers.
This was so much more able to drive the auger bits through, making everything faster and there was no drill overheating.
Used as a brick breaker, and this was less vibrations coming compared to the old SDS
Great product, easy to use and has the power to get jobs done
This is a mighty rotary hammer, with a decent bit it just eats through anything, loads of power, no hassle with anything I’ve thrown at it including using the hammer only mode and a chisel for tidying up rough concrete.
This is an excellent drill, if you were thinking about buying it and you were undecided then go ahead and buy it!

AMAZING! You will not find a better sds/hammer drill in its price range. I have used this to break up some serious materials and it has done so with ease. Another great product from Bosch!

The Bosch professional line are second to none and this drill is no exception! It is ready to lock and load in mere seconds and will power through anything you throw at it. This also applies to the chisel function which will blast through any material like it isn’t even there! Even if you don’t need this drill, buy it, it’s awesome!
OK… this is not a baby “hip holster” sized “use it for casual DIY” kinda drill, it is a beast… BUT… is goes through reinforced concrete lintels like butter, I’ve never had such a cool effective drill. Good percussion force too for the money. Bought this and one of the bosch professional 12v drill/hammer drivers (swappable battery version) at the same time, the perfect companion set in my opinion. 12v for assembling furniture and blasting fixings in to modern walls, sds for showing the tougher stuff who is boss. Can’t believe I lived without an SDS of this size for all these years!
A powerful tool which is easy to use and change tools and chucks. It’s surprising how much better it is than my old hammer drill with the SDS system stopping drill slipping and it’s easy to change chucks from SDS to standard. The standard chuck is keyless and again easy to open, close and remove although I haven’t used it in hammer mode.
I’ve been doing a lot of work on my house and had I had my previous drill it would’ve been difficult. The drill effortlessly drill into sandstone and then solid brick just as simply without jamming. I used the chisel and SDS setting to hammer out a channel for replacing a cable. I was able to install plantation shutters onto an extremely difficult wall. This drill just went through each job like, “Is that the best you’ve got? Pah!”
The changing of the chuck is simple, they simply pull off by holding one part of the drill to release the chuck with the other hand. It’s important to apply grease to the inside of the chuck that attaches to the drill but that’s all in the instructions.
There are more expensive drills out there which probably do more, but I’m a DIYer and home mechanic who’s also doing some welding jobs and this drill so far (although heavy) is perfect.
Found this hammer drill to be very good not too heavy and easy to use would recommend

This thing is a beast! Really well made and the chiselling function is fantastic. Made light work of the bricks I needed to chip out.
This drill is a monster…. I have not found a job yet that it didn’t blast through like butter!

A great drill for the money. All the drill a DIYer will ever need. The hammer function great for stripping plaster prior to damp proofing.

Nothing to dislike. Does it’s work well, nice piece of kit.
Have more than a few drills in my collection, but needed one that could demolish stuff. This drill is amazing for everything i have thrown at it. Well worth the money
Chose 2-26F as it comes with 2 quick change chucks – one SDS Plus and one for all the straight shank drill bits you already have. You can change chucks whilst leaving the drill bit in place if you need or want to.
It is made in Germany.
It came in a (large) blue plastic case.
Mine arrived in good order with no damage and an intact seal on the case confirming it had not been opened.(Sold by Amazon).
It has a long, very flexible lead.
Used so far for chasing out for electrical back boxes and wiring in very hard brick.
Very impressed with the hammer function and this certainly speeded up the job.
Liked that the Chuck can be locked with the Chuck and bit rotated to suit (when hammering).
Only tried to use once (so far) to drive a masonry bit into brick – it didn’t impress so much here – seems to be a function of speed/rpm (or maybe a blunt bit). A much cheaper “green” Bosch drill drove the same bit without issue.
The drill is fairly heavy (equates with quality/strength in my mind) – it is a little unbalanced in that the weight is more noticeable at the the front.
I really like this tool overall and am pleased that it does what I need really well.
(Not sure why Amazon reviews want me to rate it for “thickness” but gave it 5 stars to reflect general happiness!).
Love bosch products my last drill is over 24 yrs old and still going strong. I needed a bigger drill for an outside job and this one fitted the bill. Came in hard-wearing case. Great value for money
Great product, the long power cable is a great feature.
