Bosch 18V Brushless Rotary Hammer | ToolGuyd

” While this may be Makita’s first brushless hammer, it’s not true industry-wide since Bosch came out with an 18V brushless rotary hammer in 2011. The Bosch brushless rotary hammer kit (3/4″ SDS-Plus), model RHH180-01, is fairly compact and lightweight at 5. The kit includes two 18V FatPack batteries, a 30-minute charger, and a carrying bag. Bosch says that you can drill up to 100 1/4″ x 1-1/2″ holes in masonry on a single battery charge. Electronic motor protection prevents the tool from overheating and electronic cell protection helps prevent battery overloading, overheating, and deep discharging. 7 lbs is still a bit too weighty, don’t forget that Bosch recently came out with an even more compact 4. Due to the brushless motor’s greater efficiency, the hammer is said to have up to 25% greater runtime than competing models.  Video from World of Concrete 2012 where, at the beginning of the post, a Makita rep says “this is the first brushless rotary hammer.
