Fantastic for thick heavy tile and mortar bed removal
helpful for 8 of 8 people
Used this tool to remove tile over concrete, a 3 inch thick mortar bed and tons of tiled cement on the walls (again 3 inches thick with metal mesh.) A 2 week miserable job by hand takes 2 hours with this tool. It is tough, powerful, and easy to use. The variable speed trigger is great for exerting the mid range thumping to remove large chunks of mortar. Came with two included chisel bits. A great value and very underated tool, I am thrilled with it. I chose this over the combo hammer/rotation drills because I wanted more power and emphasis on the vibrational demolition function since I already had a rotational hammer drill. Based on reading other reviews and carefully reading impact specs I am unsure if those combo units can do the job as well as this focused single purpose demolition hammer.

Great Handyman Tool!
I bought this Chipping Hammer to take up my front walkway. It is highly durable and an ease to operate. A great value for the price. I am getting hooked on all Bosch tools. You just can't beat the quality and features of their products.

Time Saver
After removing old ceramic tile with a hammer and chisel, I tried to remove the old thin set from the concrete slab by hand. After a few days I gave up and ordered the Bosch Chipping Hammer. I should have gotten it sooner. It's way faster, way easier, and does a much better job. I love Bosch tools, and this one is rapidly becoming my favorite.

Says what it does, does what it says!
This was my first Amazon purchase and I reviewed this tool and its competitors from several sites. Amazon provided all the details I could want and this tool appeared to be exactly what I needed for the price. I have always enjoyed Bosch quality tools and this one is no different. I was confused at first about how to put things together and use the tool, but within minutes out of the box (and reading instructions) I had it tearing up tile faster than I could believe. I tend to push tools (among other things) to their upper limits of performance and I count on solid performance. This tool does what it says. Very well.

Quality tool, you can get professional results with this tool.
I purchased this smaller electric hammer to use for light masonry operations. I found it works best for precision detailing such as removing individual tiles and bricks with mortar. Best, is that it is not as destructive as a larger electric hammer, but more like using a hammer and chisel for fine chisel work. The tool makes you capable of achieving clean, non destructive openings or removals on you masonry work. This Bosch electric hammer provides everything you will require for light work with the quality you expect from a Bosch tool. This one meets all of my exceptions and I am sure yours too.

chipping hammer
this tool works better than the makita tool of similar operation. i am very pleased with them since i bought 2 to take off tile and the like and it works great- faster then the makita since it has 3500 bpm and the makita has only 3200 bpm.. love it recommend it!!!
