- Does it come with a battery?
- No. It is a bare tool, so you need a Bosch 18V PROFACTOR battery and charger separately. Standard 18V Bosch batteries fit, but PROFACTOR packs give the best performance.
- What is the difference between this and an SDS-plus hammer?
- SDS-max takes larger bits and chisels and delivers more impact energy, so it handles bigger holes and demolition. SDS-plus tools are lighter and cheaper but limited to smaller drilling.
- Can it chip and break concrete?
- Yes. Hammer-only mode turns it into a light demolition hammer for tile, mortar and concrete breakout. It is not a replacement for a full-size demolition hammer on thick slabs.
- Is it worth it over a corded SDS-max hammer?
- If you work away from power or move between floors, the cordless freedom is worth the weight and battery cost. For heavy all-day drilling at a bench, a corded hammer gives more sustained power.
- What bits does it accept?
- It uses SDS-max bits and chisels. The keyless chuck is for SDS-max shanks, so standard round-shank bits need an adapter.
