Hammer Drills
What type of hammer drills are you guys using, I am in the market for a new corded hammer drill, it has to be a tri mode, drill, hammer, rotary hammer. I had a Bosch bulldog but after a little use it started to throw grease every where when the bit spun. Got any advice.

Re: Hammer Drills
I've had nothing but good luck with the Bosch. I've tortured that thing and it keeps on going.

Re: Hammer Drills
I've got a Milwaukee 5321-21 on three trucks now. Very solid roto-hammer.

Re: Hammer Drills
I dont use them very often... But for like 2-4 holes my 18V ridgid hammer does fine. If I need to do more holes than that I rent a HILTI. If I ever buy a larger one it will be a HILTI. Those things are sweet.

Re: Hammer Drills
One of my guys bought a new Milwalkee a few months ago, it's as effective as my 10 yr. old DeWalt. I also have a Bosch that is about 5 yrs. old. I really can't recommend one over the other, they all drill holes. The DeWalt doesn't smell too good after a long period of continuous use but it's been that way for 3 yrs. I'm waiting for the magic smoke.
