In all day chiseling and demolition applications, 14.5 amps, 9.6 ft lbs of impact energy (EPTA), and 18.3 lbs. of torque provide the most productive operation possible.
When working for long periods of time, active vibration control in the hammer mechanism and the grip area ensures the greatest possible comfort for the user.
The constant response circuitry keeps the speed constant under load and provides overload protection.
The articulating auxiliary handle provides maximum comfort and control by allowing the user to maintain the best possible working posture.
The Vario-Lock positioning system rotates and locks the chisel into 12 different positions as it is rotated.
The Bosch DH712VC SDS-max Demolition Hammer, which delivers 14.5 amps and 9.6 ft.-lbs. of impact energy to the jobsite, confirms Bosch’s position as the best in its class. Because it weighs only 18.4 lbs, it is 20 percent lighter than its predecessor, which helps to reduce stress on the body during long-term applications. The addition of a longer air cushion in the hammer mechanism, as well as a decoupled main handle and an anti-vibration side handle, further reduces the amount of stress placed on the user over time. The SDS-max platform enables tool-free bit changes, automatic bit locking, and the fastest possible impact energy transfer rate, among other features. Using the variable speed dial and the auto lock-on switch, you can gain greater control over drilling and chiseling applications. The vario-lock function, which rotates and locks the chisel into 12 different positions, allows you to optimize your working angles even further. A carrying case is included with the DH712VC.
Previously, I had rented some demo Makita hammers from HomeDepot, and I was pleased with how well they performed. It was with the tool rental that I began working on the 50-year-old shower demo; however, it was quickly realized that it would be more cost effective to purchase one. Because I have been pleased with every Bosch tool that I have purchased, I decided that this would be the best route to take. What a difference it makes. Using this tool was almost too simple to be true. More effort was expended in shoveling the leftovers into the buckets.
Übrigens: The tile in the shower was the same color as the cord on the tool.. so I now have 3 ft less cord: (
