Bosch 11221DVS 7/8-Inch SDS Rotary Hammer

Bosch 11221DVS 7/8-Inch SDS Rotary Hammer Review



Bosch 11221DVS 7/8-Inch SDS Rotary Hammer Feature

  • Integrated dust collection system - keeps work environment clean in critical areas
  • SDS-plus® bit system - tool-free bit changes with automatic bit locking, dust protection and maximum impact energy transfer rate
  • Multi-function selector - 3 modes of operation, rotation only, rotary hammer and hammer only mode
  • Variable-speed reversing trigger - for accurate bit starting, as well as removing fasteners or bound bits
  • Constant ResponseTM Circuitry - - Provides soft-start - Maintains constant speed under load - Provides overload protection
The first thing you'll notice about Bosch's rotary hammer is its great ergonomics, which clearly were a major consideration in the design of the hammer. The grip and trigger mechanism are well integrated, especially the front grip, and long enough to accommodate different body styles (I've got long arms; my buddy is the opposite: we both liked the tool's feel). For a rotary hammer, design is especially critical during overhead and down-drilling operations, where fatigue can quickly rear its ugly head. The tool's vario-lock positioning is great; it gives you 36 different working angles to choose from so you can modify the tool to fit the application. Likewise, the hammer offers three operational modes: hammer only, rotation only, and hammer with rotation. We really appreciate the self-contained dust removal system, which does a great job of keeping the mess to a minimum. Are there drawbacks? Not many. The bit-changing mechanism is a little stiff and a little cumbersome, perhaps--but that's a pretty minor negative in a tool that otherwise provides such pleasant operation. The people at Bosch really know what they're doing, and it shows in this tool. --Michael Shilling Includes 7/8" SDS-plus Rotary Hammer - 11221DVS-46, Auxiliary Handle - 1 612 025 032, Depth Gauge - Integrated, Dust Extraction Fixture - 1 618 190 006, Hose (23" length) - 2 600 712 002, Adapter for Paper Dust Bags - 2 607 000 178, Cloth Bag Assembly - 2 605 411 044, Carrying Case - 2 605 438 126

Oh, baby. Now this is a hammer. A magnificent 17 inches from head to toe, this tool with its ergonomic, patent-pending handle just begs to be gripped. The wallop you deliver with this beauty is easily on par with that of a 24-ounce steel hammer, but you'll be swinging this one long after everybody else gives up. Titanium is the key--lightweight, but virtually indestructible. A twist of the Allen wrench, and you can change out the milled waffle head for a smooth face, but either way, the magnetic nail starter will come in handy. Okay, yes, that's three digits between the dollar sign and the decimal point, but in this case, you get what you pay for. This hammer's primo. Use it and you'll toss the rest. --Kris Jensen-Van Heste The Stiletto Ti-Bone 15-oz. titanium framing hammer delivers the power of a 28-oz. steel hammer while greatly reducing recoil shock vibration.
