Concrete drill outperforms two-speed hammer drills

Contractors have long turned to two-speed hammer drills as a low-cost alternative to rotary hammers for small-diameter concrete drilling – sacrificing speed, durability and comfort in the process. Thanks to the 11258VSR Concrete Drill, users no longer have to give up rotary hammer performance in the name of cost. The Bosch 11258VSR 5/8-inch SDS-Plus Concrete Drill costs no more than the standard HPP two-speed hammer drill. When it comes to speed, however, the 11258VSR performs up to 50 percent faster than an HPP two-speed hammer drill when drilling 3/8-inch diameter holes into concrete; and it does it with significantly less impact to the user. Compared to a hammer drill, the solid 11258VSR offers significant reductions in both noise and vibration. With 1.4 foot-pounds of impact force and a stout 4.8 amp motor, the drill powers its way through concrete with almost no force from the user. It  also offers superior durability in concrete drilling versus a hammer drill. Because of the 11258VSR’s burly SDS-Plus chuck and purpose-built hammer mechanism, both the tool and its bits offer significantly greater product life.
