Original Press Release:



Faster Drilling And Faster Chipping Make Bosch 11263EVS 1-3/4-inch SDS-max® Combination Hammer #1 In Category



Mount Prospect, IL, April 26, 2005- More power, harder hitting and faster drilling describes the newest hammer, the 11263EVS 1-3/4-inch SDS-max® Combination Hammer, from Bosch Power Tools and Accessories, a division of the Robert Bosch Tool Corporation. As the 1-3/4-inch category's all-around top performer, the 11263EVS is the answer to any concrete drilling or chipping task.

The new Bosch 11263EVS far exceeds its competitors in practically every area. The tool's 13.5 AMP motor powers 145 to 280 RPM and 1,350 to 2,800 BPM with 9.6 and 11.1 -ft./lbs. impact energy in drilling and chipping, respectively. In the 1-3/4-inch category, the 11263EVS registers at the top with a 6-inch core bit capacity, the largest available.

A powerhouse, the new 11263EVS outperforms the competition, hands down. For concrete, electrical, mechanical/HVAC, highway/bridge, remodeling and general contractors, this tool is the answer. Whether drilling large diameter holes for piping, anchoring holes for heavy machinery, transformers or air conditioning units, or simply chipping and breaking up old facade or wall tiles, the 11263EVS provides all the power and performance.

The 11263EVS will replace the category stalwart Bosch 11235EVS beginning January 2005. Improvements in the new model include a completely reengineered impact mechanism optimized for higher performance in both chipping and drilling modes. More beats and harder hits make it 33-percent faster than its predecessor in chipping. Driven by a more powerful motor, the tool is also nearly 30-percent more efficient in drilling than the competition. Similar to its predecessor, the tool's Turbo(TM) Mode feature increases the tool's power by 20-percent for increased impact energy and more impacts per minute in demolition applications.

A special trigger mechanism that will not lock on in drilling mode, but converts to a rocker switch in chipping (Turbo), provides users with the best control in each application. Additional handle space provides users with space to use two-hands in vertical applications and enough room to wear work gloves while operating the tool.

Additional features include the unique Vario-Lock(TM) positioning, which rotates and locks the SDS-max tool holder into 12 different positions for optimized working angles in chipping mode. A 360-degree auxiliary handle provides the necessary control, while Constant Response(TM) Circuitry gives users a softer start, constant speed under load and overload protection. A padded handle provides user comfort and the variable speed dial makes speed adjustments simple. And to ensure optimal performance day in and out, a Service Minder(TM) light indicates when preventative maintenance is required, and an accessible service lid makes brush changes quick and easy.

Every 11263EVS 1-3/4-inch SDS-max® Combination Hammer includes its own case, cleaning rag and tube of grease for tool holder maintenance.
