DR99 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 That's a tiny looking rotary hammer usually they look big and bulky. Another good video DammYankee! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedSionnach Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Nice review. You're right DR, it does look pretty compact. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moze Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Thanks guys. I'll get a picture of it next to the DeWalt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moze Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I guess I'm getting old. Accidentally put this under Hilti - meant to put it under Bosch. Can one of the mods move it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I took care of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 Bosch in the Hilti section! We need to get you some Centrum Do they even make Centrum anymore? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moze Posted February 7, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 I'm getting old I guess. Anyway, here are pics compared to the DeWalt. It's actually a little taller but not quite as long as the DeWalt. http://i1207.photobucket.com/albums/bb466/Precision_Sign_Services/Bosch%20RHH181%20SDS%20Rotary%20Hammer/07.jpg[/iMG] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 7, 2014 Report Share Posted February 7, 2014 What is the difference between the 181 and the 182? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Javier Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 That's cool you got the Bosch brushless. It looks so light. That's a good price for $389. Amazing how quick it drills the larger holes. Good video Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moze Posted February 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 What is the difference between the 181 and the 182? ...the 182 doesn't exist...? The 180 is the older model. It doesn't have the chipping feature. I think that's the only difference. Well, I think it also comes with the older lithium batteries. That's cool you got the Bosch brushless. It looks so light. That's a good price for $389. Amazing how quick it drills the larger holes. Good video Thanks, yeah the price was really good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 8, 2014 Report Share Posted February 8, 2014 Oops I meant the 180. Sorry about that. Did yours have the 4.0 batteries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moze Posted February 9, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Oops I meant the 180. Sorry about that. Did yours have the 4.0 batteries? No problem. Yeah, the 181 comes with the 4.0 batteries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIElectrician Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Great review! The Bosch just ate through that concrete with the 1/2" bit! Did you get to look back at how fast the Bosch was compared to the Dewalt and Hilti? I think a great tool fight would be the Bosch vs a fuel Milwaukee Rotary Hammer.

NicholasShetley Posted February 9, 2014 Report Share Posted February 9, 2014 Only if milwaukee made one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIElectrician Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 They have a 12v fuel, but not really the same class as the Bosch and Dewalt. I could see it in development to be released later this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NicholasShetley Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm suprised they haven't released one already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DR99 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 http://www.milwaukeetool.com/power-tools/cordless/2612-22They released this unit this year but the bummer is they didn't release it as a brushless tool for some reason. It's the same thing with Milwaukee's oscillating mutl-tool why did they release a brushed version? I guess it might have been the quickest way to get in into production and out to retailers in a reasonable amount of time? Dewalt had their brushless unit out before Milwaukee when it came to multi-tools. Like the earier Bosch version it lacks a chipping feature that's pretty lame if I'm spending a ton of money on a SDS drill I want to have some sort of chipping function.

NicholasShetley Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 I think they wanted to test the market with the cheaper non brushless one. You don't want to release a top of the line tool only to find out no one wants it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIElectrician Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 It seems like Milwaukee isn't huge in masonry like Bosch is, but everything seem to be going brushless. It's just matter of time before it comes out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted February 11, 2014 Report Share Posted February 11, 2014 I have this Bosch and it is fantastic Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conductor562 Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 Bosch has kinda catered to the masonry trades the past couple years just as Milwaukee has focused on the Electrical, Plumbing, HVAC, trades and Dewalt the framers and general contractor.

MattSPL Posted April 13, 2014 Report Share Posted April 13, 2014 I bought a Bosch RHH181 last week. I had initially bought the Milwaukee M12 fuel rotary hammer, but after about 4 weeks trying to like it in work, I found it too slow at drilling. I liked the look of the bosch, and it seemed a great performer from reading and watching videos about it.I demoed it against the Makita brushless model, but preferred the bosch, and it was faster.The Bosch eats through concrete. Great drill. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayneburgess Posted April 14, 2014 Report Share Posted April 14, 2014 If you drill over head and 10mm or less into masonry or concrete this is the best drill on the planet for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
