- Is this a good choice over a corded SDS-Max hammer?
- Yes if you need to work away from power and already own Bosch 18V batteries. A corded hammer still wins for all-day chiseling because it never needs a battery swap.
- How does it compare with an SDS-Plus rotary hammer?
- It takes SDS-Max bits, so it drills larger holes and breaks concrete that SDS-Plus tools struggle with. It is much heavier and its bits cost more, so it is not the pick for light drilling.
- What comes in the kit?
- The CK27 kit includes the rotary hammer, two 18V batteries and a charger. Bits and chisels are sold separately.
- Can it chisel without rotating?
- Yes. Hammer-only mode locks rotation for chiseling and demolition, and forward/reverse helps free a stuck bit.
- Does it work with Bosch 18V batteries I already own?
- Yes, it runs on Bosch 18V batteries, though the largest packs give the best runtime in hammer-only mode.
- Is it too heavy for overhead work?
- At about 18.4 lb it is tiring overhead for long stretches. Many owners use it at floor and wall height and save lighter tools for ceilings.
- Where is the Bosch GBH18V-40CK27 PROFACTOR 2 Batteries cheapest?
- At Lowe's, for $999.00, as of our latest check.
