Bosch GBH2-26DRE 3-Mode Rotary Hammer with SDS-Plus Fitting 240V

This Bosch Rotary Hammer Drill is a great piece of kit, not too heavy and very practical tool for DIY and tradesmen. The Bosch GBH2-26DRE is rated 800W, this is enough for most if not all general jobs. Now lets talk business with specification or in other words, what's under the bonnet: •Rated power input: 800 W
•Impact energy: 0 – 3 J
•Impact rate at rated speed: 0 – 4.000 rpm
•Rated speed: 0 – 900 rpm
•Rated torque: 28 Nm
•Weight: 2,7 kg
•Drilling dia. in concrete with SDS-plus flute drill bit: 4 – 26 mm
•Recommended drilling range: 8 – 16 mm
•Max. drill diameter, concrete: 26 mm
•Max. drill diameter, steel, (with drill chuck): 13 mm
•Max. drill diameter, wood, (with drill chuck): 30 mm
•Core cutters in masonry: 68 mm
•Total Shipping Weight: 5kg

It provides good features, this includes: •Superior drilling rate in the 2 kg hammer class
•Rotation stop for chiselling
•Impact stop for drilling in wood and steel
•3-mode rotostop for chiselling
•Easy-to-change toolholder
•Ball grommet for preventing cable breaks
•Softgrip on main handle and auxiliary handle for a secure hold
•Overload clutch
•Rotatable brush plate (for equal power in forward and reverse operation)

So what do you get for your money?

This purchase provided me with a good drill case, big enough to store the drill, a drill Chuck, a box of screws and some lengthy drill bits (not supplied with this purchase).
This latter part I provided, however I would have liked a I/2" inch drill chuck as part of the package, but this was not.

Over all this drill is worth every penny in my opinion, the SDS function saves time having to look for a key and with an additional no key chuck attachment provides full drill functionality for the non SDS type drill sets.

I have a number of drills, however this one is my favourite all rounder.

Up to the job

Bosch to GBH 2-26 good quality feel, 3 functions, not really used it yet outside mainly been channeling walls for electrical cables and sockets. But I will be using it for drilling into RSJ where my old black and Decker fails.Read full review

Industrial punch.

I use the same drill at work with an RCD, more power than the average do-it-yourself person will ever require, best used with a chisel for quick tile removal and drilling direct into brick work.
I use DW for most things but this is a corded Bosch worth having.Read full review

Great value

Based on limited initial use the drill works extremely well - exceeding my expectations in terms of quality and cost - excellent value.
