Any recommendations for a hammer drill (brand, model no.) in the $200 price range for drilling anchor bolt holes in concrete. The hole diameter will not exceed 3/4″. Tool Crib offers the Bosch 11224VSR for $209.99 which after a $25 special discount will end up costing $184.99. Seems like a very good price. Does anyone have experience with this unit? I want to do some seismic retrofitting on my house. Thanks ahead of time for any information on this subject.

If that tool is known as the "Bulldog" I can tell you that I've had one for years and it works hard. I've drilled hundreds of holes, and had helpers drill thousands of holes, it still works well, now that that's said, I'll have to fix it next job, oh well.
*Jerry and Bob, That is the "Bulldog". I just rented one over the weekend to drill about 20 1/2 inch holes, 2 1/2 inches deep. it went through the concrete like butter. It's SDS and I believe it will drill up to 7/8 inch holes.Great drill!Ed
