 Great entry level rotary hammer October 16, 2008
R. Koch (Cupertino, CA United States)
I tried to drill some 1/2" holes in poured concrete foundation using a regular drill and brand new masonry bit. After 15 minutes of difficult drilling, the hole was barely 1/4" deep. So I picked up a Bosch 11255 rotary hammer, and it drilled 4" deep holes in under 1 minute. I was amazed at how fast a rotary hammer goes though concrete. Great tool.
When I bought mine, it came free in the box with some Bosch electronic metal/pipe finder tool. Have not used that yet.

the Bosch is the best I've used of this type of tool. As far as the review concerning Bosch's describing this as "1 inch". It means that this will drill up to a 1 inch diameter hole in concrete ( and the model down from this will drill a 7/8" dia.). Bosch includes this information in their specifications.
 1 Inch? I don't think so.... October 9, 2008

What on this thing is 1"?
Nothing.
It does NOT take a 1" bit.
It does NOT have a 1" chuck.
In fact, there is no chuck. Only their weird SDS bits, whatever those are.
Don't be fooled. You need to buy an addition bit unless you want to use their own bits (read: more expensive), or their own bit adapter.
Bosh: Get your stuff together and quit the false advertising.
drilling granite July 10, 2008

This drill, equipped with a DeWalt bit, drills into granite in a manner that is hard to believe for such a light and easy to use tool. The granite here on Cape Ann has been sent all over the world, and it is hard! Ordinary concrete is much less of a challenge. Highest recommendation.
Lots of Holes Without Beating You Up June 19, 2008

We found we had termites and the applicator told me I could save $$ by drilling 1/2" holes at 12" intervals in the concrete of the porches, patio and sidewalks that surround my house instead of paying him to do it. The cost of the drill and three bits was a little less than half of what I am saving, and I'll end up with a good hammer drill when I am done.
I've drilled holes in 299 locations so far and have a few more to drill once I move a couple of heavy items. The concrete has been 5-8" in depth on average and a few holes didn't break through even when the 12" long bit was completely buried in the concrete.
The drill makes holes quickly and smoothly. It doesn't beat you up, and the drilling speed is about the same (quick) whether you use very light pressure or really put your weight on it, so take it easy and let the drill do all the work. I did quench the bit in water between holes since I was using the drill continuously for a couple of hours at a time. I never felt the drill was getting too hot, but the bit sure sizzled when it got into the water.
The first 1/2"X12" bit lasted for a little over 160 holes, and I expect to finish the job while still on the second bit. I'm looking forward to getting a couple of chisel bits and using them to break out a bathroom floor I need to get to and have been putting off.
Great tool; I'm glad I had an excuse to buy it.
