Bosch claims that these are the first rotary hammers in their performance class to have ‘kickback control’, which shuts off the motor as soon as drilling goes awry. In the event of sudden and unpredictable rotation of the power tool in heavy-duty drilling applications – such as skewing of the drill in reinforced concrete – the built-in sensor shuts off the motor within a fraction of a second. This prevents unexpected kickback of the tool.
Both rotary hammers also have an active vibration damping system to reduce vibration levels to 11 m/s2.
Recommended retail price ranges from £117 to £199.
