Answer This Question

Hello! Thank you very much for your question. Yes, using the GBH2-28L with a carbide-tipped masonry bit. The amount of pressure to be used is dependent upon the type of material being drilled.

    Answer This Question

    Thank you very much for your question. The GBH2-28L, when used with the HS1465, is an ideal solution for small areas. For larger areas, the SDS-max® hammer and HS1918 scraper are recommended. Additionally, the GHT130 and 11335K hammer are suitable alternatives.

            Will this drill through rebar if I encounter any while drilling holes for anchor bolts?
            BySep 22, 2023
            1 Answer | 
            Answer This Question

            Thank you for your question. With the appropriate bit the rotary hammer will work. We do offer SDS-Plus rebar cutters which are best suited for cutting through rebar. The standard rotary bits are for concrete drilling. Once you hit rebar you should then switch to a rebar cutter then back to the concrete bit once you are through the rebar. For further assistance, you may email us at boschtools@custhelp.com or contact us at 1-877-BOSCH99 (1-877-267-2499) from Monday through Friday, 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. CST.

                  This little drill was a life saver. I had to remove a huge boulder and originally rented a larger drill. It was too heavy and bulky for me to use. I purchased this drill and it was small enough for me to maneuver but powerful enough to drill into a LARGE boulder. Very happy with this purchase.

                  This tool lasted a year and a half . Im assumed it was 5 years and sent it in for repair and found out the warranty expired. I didnt want to pay for the repair because i could buy a new tool for $20 more. They sent it back with grease all over every part and missing parts. Last bosch tool for me.

                    I used the GBH2-28L to carve a 3.25x10 vent opening on my house's wall. The tool is very well balanced and cuts through concrete and blocks like butter. With it, I used the Bosch SDS self-sharpening chisel and the pinpoint chisel (in Hammer mode) to carve away the poured concrete and the block. It really didn't take much effort, you just press down on it and concrete immediately started to break apart. Got a few rebars and was able to use the chisel to separate the rebars, before using a reciprocating saw to cut the rebars. The tool even comes with a towel for you to wipe away the dirt once the job is done. A nice touch. This one is actually Made In Germany. Things I really like: - It locks chisel in place so it doesn't rotate around during use in hammer mode. To reposition the chisel, simply rotate to drill mode and set the angle before switching back to hammer mode. - The hammer action is adjustable (light to heavy) - It's got a slipper clutch so if it does get jammed the thing will slip to prevent twisting your arm. - It's also got a vibration control feature so when working, you feel minimal vibration transferred to your hand, not like some other hammer drills I used, which numbs my hand in just a few min. - SDS-Plus drill bits and accessories are actually superior in producing maximum torque while cheaper to buy than traditional round drill bits. Highly recommended rotary hammer drill, won't go wrong. Probably best in its price category.

                      I got this drill to drill holes in huge rocks that were in the way of expanding my vegetable garden. I tried using a regular drill with a masonry bit but after 10 minutes I got just 1/8 of an inch and gave up. This drill with Bosch masonry bits can drill in 6 inches in under a minute! Since then I have found the Bosch bits last longer than DeWalt and have had no issues with using this drill. I have also used the straight hammer with a chisel bit which also worked nicely. In the 3 weeks I've had this drill I have drilled hundreds of holes in rocks and learned to go slow and let the bits cool to make them last longer. I swap out bits after each hole is drilled and that seems to make the bits last longer as it keeps them cooler. Without this drill and the wedges and shims the garden would not be expanded!
