this is great, i have a black and decker dr601 drill before and it struggles when drilling in concrete. this drill does the job very well. i am satisfied with drill and would recommend this others. i use this drill like twice weekly.
Works great. Used it for masonary drilling in the garage and had no issues in drilling for several dozen screws. Makes the job much easier than using a regular drill without the hammer action. The drill arrived in a timely fashion, had a case and all the documentation that would accompany a new product.
This was a real value with same warranty as new model. came very clean and with all the accessories.
The drill and case look brand new, not a scratch or mark on any part of it. The drill itself is a heavy duty looking tool, a little bigger than your standtard drill. I have not used it on any large projects yet, but it has worked great so far on what I have needed it for.
Also, next time I'm shopping for a reconditioned tool I'll be sure to read the reviews for the "brand new" version of the same tool. I have many Bosch power tools and have never seen such bad reviews for any of their tools.
After receiving the drill I read additional Amazon reviews for "new" 1199VSRK 1/2" drills, and these reviews were not at all favorable (two reviews for the reconditioned version, however, were very positive). I very recently bought this factory reconditioned 1/2" hammer drill and have only drilled some minor pieces of wood just to confirm that it works properly (it does).
I'm going to keep my fingers crossed that the reconditioned drill I bought lasts a few years. The majority of reviewers indicated that their brand new drills failed completely after only very modest use.
I've decided to hang onto the reconditioned one I bought, because I don't anticipate using it that often, and sending things back for exchange or refund is a pain. Maybe in the reconditioning process Bosch has been able to cure the problems seemingly built in to the new models.
Here's hoping for the best.
