When it comes to smashing up grody old rooms, a hammer is often considered the bedrock of smashing implements. However, while a handheld hammer or sledgehammer are good for this, it can get a bit tiring lifting and swinging such a thing over and over again. Instead of wearing out your arms lugging a giant hunk of wood and steel around, why not let a little tech handle the hard part for you?
Bosch’s Bulldog Xtreme Rotary Hammer Drill packs two powerful tools, a power drill and a demolition hammer, into a single convenient package. By using the side-mounted dial, you can swap on the fly between three modes of rotation-only, hammer-only, and a hybrid mode. By swapping out the bit for a drill or chisel, you can get up to 1,300 RPM drilling or 5,800 IPM demolition, respectively. It’s compatible with any bits in Bosch’s SDS-Plus line, which you can change without any external tools.
The Bosch Bulldog Xtreme Rotary Hammer Drill is available at Menards for $219.00. Tool review YouTube channel Bruce Alan Reviews + Repairs tested this tool with a chisel head on a variety of solid materials like brick and concrete. The tool was able to handle every material type at varying densities, though since it’s a bit small, it is better for DIY-level demolition rather than contractor work.
