§ FAQ

Is this a kit or bare tool?

This is a bare tool, so batteries and charger are sold separately.

What chuck system does it use?

It uses a Keyless SDS-plus and accepts SDS-plus bits and accessories.

How much impact energy does it deliver?

Bosch rates it at 1.5 ft.-lbs. EPTA impact energy.

Will it work with Bosch 18V batteries I already own?

Yes. It uses Bosch 18V batteries and chargers across the same cordless platform.

Is it heavy for overhead or ladder work?

Several buyers describe the larger SDS-max models as powerful but heavier, so two-handed use is more realistic for overhead, ladder, or extended drilling work.

What warranty comes with it?

The tool and charger are covered by a 5-year limited warranty, and Bosch 18V batteries are covered by a 3-year limited warranty.
