1.) Flawless...

We have one of these hammers at work, and it even outruns the corded rotary hammers we use. It drills through our high-strength bridge concrete like it was sand and will run a 2" core bit through tough carbon fiber and epoxy and run right into the high grade concrete as if to say "what else ya got?"
The battery is phenomenal. Even under the considerable stress we give it it lasts longer than any battery pack I've ever seen and continues produces unreal power until it is completely drained. I've yet to see a single weakness in the tool; it's so good it has altered the way we run some of our tests and is used for things we thought were impossible without SDS Max. If you're in the market for a rotary hammer and have the budget for this tool, look no more.

2.) worthy of the bulldog name

drills 1/4 inch holes like a champ all day long. 1/2 inch holes drain the juice fast. wouldn't try bigger.

all in all the best cordless roto I've ever used for overall power/battery life ratio. as in more power and longer battery life than any dewalt or hilti I've ever used.

This rotary hammer eats through concrete and block walls as if they were made out of soft butter. I had used for many years a corded rotary hammer. Since I have this Bosch monster, my corded hammer is rotting away in the tool shed.

Great drill, I'm a contractor and own several battery operated drills and other tools! Took a couple of charging cycles to reach it's full potential but after that it has preformed flawlessly. For a battery operated hammer drill the power is awesome! Batteries charge fast and last for hours of heavy work and the case holds all the bits. I can't find anything wrong with this drill, it is a winner!

5.) Cordless Hammer Drill

I have been in construction as a Union Pipefitter for 23yrs. Most of our piping is hung from expansion shields in concrete from above. I have used the Bosch 110v cord drills for many years without any problems except dragging 100ft. extension cords either up ladders or tied onto scissor and bucket lifts. The less volt battery drills have a slight problem getting through metal decking under the concrete,and battery charge does not last long. This 36 volt cordless was the answer to it all. I have used this every day for a week with one battery, before I needed to change it. Like other Bosch hammer drills, it is smooth, quick, and rugged. The only thing that I could slightly complain about is the overall weight of the drill and battery together when drilling above your head. However, with the equal power of the 110v and not dragging extension cords around through the tightest of places, I am getting used to the extra weight real quick. Great drill!

I've bought it together with bosch 36v hammer drill - to have interchangeable batteries. And it works. 110% satisfied.
Before was using DeWalt 18v hammer drill + corded bosch rotary hammer for hard walls.
now i'm doing my job (satellite installs) a way faster.

Bulldog Engineering for Precise, Dependable Performance
The 11536VSR's new pneumatic impact mechanism is the strongest impact mechanism available in a cordless rotary hammer. Featuring improved guidance of the striker, striking pin, and tool, the rotary hammer's design ensures accurate impact transmission without loss of energy, so your work gets done as efficiently and accurately as possible.

This translates to drilling that's as fast as 7.1 inches per minute--up to 50 percent faster than other cordless rotary hammers.

2.2 Ft.lbs. of Impact Energy for Versatile Performance
The powerful 11536VSR is capable of delivering up to 2.2 ft.lbs. of impact energy for use in a wide variety of situations. Its integral clutch helps minimize unwanted torque reactions for improved control, while a variable-speed trigger keeps you in command of the tool's performance.

The SDS-Plus bit system lets you seat bits quickly and securely, and for job-specific performance, the clearly marked selector lets you choose rotation only, rotary hammer, or hammer only mode. Trademarked Vario-Lock Positioning rotates and locks the chisel into 36 different positions.

The 11536VSR offers from zero to 4,260 BPM (no-load) and from zero to 960 RPM (no-load), and it features a one-inch maximum capacity in concrete, 1/2-inch maximum capacity in metal, and 1-1/4-inch maximum capacity in wood.

Litheon Power: Innovative, Lightweight, and Long-lasting
Thanks to advanced Litheon battery power, the 11536VSR is able to deliver performance equal to that of bulkier corded tools without the hassle. Advanced Electronic Cell Protection (ECP) technology safeguards against overload, overheating, and deep discharge to ensure a long battery life, even under high load conditions.

Designed specifically to handle higher voltages, Litheon 36-volt lithium-ion batteries don't suffer from the memory effect or inconvenient self discharge, and they save you money by offering an overall cycle life that's up to five-times longer than that of competing lithium-ion batteries.

Two batteries and a one-hour charger are included with this rotary hammer, so you never have to stop work to recharge. Each 36-volt battery can be charged to 80 percent of its capacity in just 25 minutes.

The 11536VSR rotary hammer measures 15 inches long and weighs just 9.6 pounds.

ProVantage Guarantee
The 11536VSR comes with the ProVantage three-year protection plan, which guarantees two years of battery protection and one year of tool protection. Under this plan, you can receive two years of free battery replacements, tool replacement for one year, and a free tool repair package for the second and third years.
