The 11224VSR's lightweight and ergonomic design makes it ideal for overhead applications (view larger). |
The SDS-plus bulldog rotary hammer operates in three different modes for convenience and versatility: hammer/rotation for drilling concrete, stone, brick, and masonry; hammer only for light chipping applications with chisels; and rotation only for drilling in wood, steel, and building materials with the optional chuck. The SDS-plus bit system makes for tool-free bit changes and automatic bit locking—plus, it provides dust protection and the maximum impact energy transfer rate. Its integral clutch minimizes torque reaction, and the variable-speed reversing trigger allows for accurate bit starting and easy removal of fasteners or bound bits.
Powerful Performance
With a 6.9-amp, 120-volt motor, the bulldog rotary hammer packs a punch despite weighing only 6.5 pounds and measuring 17-1/2 inches long. Its no-load speed of 0-1,100 RPM and no-load beats per minute of 0-6,150 BPM—along with 1.5 foot-pounds of impact force—make the 11224VSR ideal for use with a variety of materials. It is capable of a 2-1/2-inch maximum hole diameter in concrete (thin-wall core bit), a 1-inch maximum hole diameter in wood, and a 3/16-inch to 5/8-inch optimal concrete capacity range.
Compact and Ergonomic
The 11224VSR’s 360-degree auxiliary handle is equipped with a built-in depth gauge, which provides users a wide range of movement while maintaining consistent drilling depth. Its D-handle design delivers additional control, especially in down-drilling or overhead applications that typically cause user fatigue. Bosch-exclusive Vario-Lock positioning rotates and locks the chisel into 36 positions to optimize your working angle.
