This review is from: Bosch PBH 2900 FRE Rotary Hammer Drill (DIY & Tools)
I chose this drill as there is a fair bit of drilling to do in my house extension and figured my time is cheaper than the builders.It has drilled through the block cavity wall (to fit a dog flap) VERY easily,and the chisel function (which I thought would be a gimmick)did a great job of tidying the edges to leave them flat.
I bought this drill because the last drill I bought (Bosch-12v battery/hammer) 11 years ago is still going very strong and refuses to die despite much abuse!(if that drill had died 6 years ago I would still have been impressed)
I have great expectations of this drill and first impressions is that it will not disappoint.

I can strongly recommend this product. It drills through concrete like a hot knife through butter. The hammer action works perfectly in drill or chisel mode with little vibration passed back to the handles. It made light work of sinking socket boxes or chasing out brick work. The weight is good and I had no difficulty holding the drill above head height for curtain rail fixings.
The only downside is the depth stop that slips rather easily. But just something to keep an eye on.

I bought this drill after reading other reviews and would definitely recommend it. We have concrete and/or brick walls and are putting batons up on all of them. Our last drill took ages to drill into the walls but this one is really quick – almost too good at times. Feels solid and has various settings to ensure a simple job.
