Mount Prospect, Ill. - Perfect for interior or overhead drilling where dust exposure must be avoided, the new 11250VSRD Dust Collection Rotary Hammer from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories is the lightest, most compact tool in the category.
Tipping the scales at barely 7.4 pounds, the 11250VSRD is just over half a pound lighter than its nearest competitor. And with a height of only 7.9", Bosch's ¾" SDS-Plus® dust-collection hammer is almost 3.5" shorter from top to bottom than most other such tools. Even the angled offset side handle is designed with cramped quarters in mind. Its light weight and balanced, compact design make the 11250VSRD ideal for drilling in hard-to-reach areas, overhead applications and periods of extended use where user fatigue can be a concern.
Just as significant as weight and size, however, is performance. The Micro Filter system and unique two-fan design utilized on the Bosch hammer captures the highest volume of dust particles - of all sizes - and dramatically reduces exposure to airborne dust. Bosch's canister system is also designed to minimize dust leakage, even when the hammer is turned upside down. All of these dust reduction measures are especially important on commercial remodeling projects and in sensitive healthcare or laboratory environments.
In addition, Bosch's dust-collection system is easy to use, beginning with a transparent dust cap that maximizes visibility and enables easy bit alignment. When it's time for cleanup, removal of Bosch's dust canister is a simple one-handed process, and the Micro Filter can be easily removed for cleanup or replacement.
While dust-collection may be the key selling point, the heart of Bosch's 11250VSRD is a top-performing rotary hammer. The 6.1 AMP hammer delivers 0-1000 RPM, 0-4400 BPM and a whopping 1.8 ft./lbs. of impact energy. Combined with its light weight and maneuverability, Bosch's new reversible, variable-speed hammer will fast become a category standout.
Surprisingly, the Bosch 11250VSRD is also the best value in its class. With a retail price of $259, the hammer delivers industry leading performance at over $100 less than similar competitor products.
The 11250VSRD comes standard with the dust-collection module, an offset auxiliary handle and a sturdy carrying case. Bosch offers a vacuum cleaner adaptor, core bit adaptor and bag as optional accessories. Additional microfilter units and clear dust caps are also available separately. The hammer will be available through authorized Bosch distributors nationwide this summer. To find out more, users may visit www.boschtools.com or call 877-BOSCH-99.
