Bosch Power Tools has introduced the PROFACTOR 18V SDS-max 1-5/8-in. Rotary Hammer (GBH18V-40C), which has been engineered to break concrete on construction sites. Powered by a single CORE18V 8Ah or 12Ah battery, this hammer outperforms its corded counterpart, the Bosch 11264EVS. With features like KickBack Control and an Anti-Vibration System, the hammer also offers support for workers during use.
"There's no better place to debut this new rotary hammer into our lineup than at World of Concrete. With 6.7-ft.-lbs of impact energy, this tool makes the hard work of chiseling and drilling easier, all in a cordless 18V solution," said Mike Tsiolis, lead product manager for Bosch Power Tools. "By connecting to the free Bosch Toolbox App, the rotary hammer can provide real-time feedback on the tool's battery charge and temperature, while allowing each user to customize the rotary hammer's features using the app. The tool's heavy duty cordless power and digital enhancements make the PROFACTOR18V 1-5/8-in. Rotary Hammer the new 'go-to' hammer for concrete applications."

- KickBack Control: Reduces the risk of sudden tool reactions in binding conditions
- Soft Start and Controlled RPM: Adjusts the tool rpm and bpm for controlled drilling and chiseling applications when working with soft materials, like brick and tile
