Editor's Review: Drilling Concrete? Get a Rotary Hammer

by David Crosby review date: May 1, 2004

This rotary hammer is well suited for professional use, and we found no problems with it in any regard. The depth stop is well made, and chisels can be rotated to 36 different positions. The controls are easy to access, and the overall quality is good. This first-rate machine is a good buy for the money. Its case, by far the best we saw, permits easy, well-organized storage for tools and bits.
