A friend has one and he has used the crap out if it so far with no problems. The project he was doing was on a on old cinder block building and doing a complete renovation . He used it to take out a chimney that wasn’t needed.

Have not used one of the new ones, because our old ones are still rockin’. It is one of the best hammer drills/ chipping guns out there. From setting steel doors to toothing block and brick, they are awesome.

I picked up a Milwaukee 5262-21. It is very similar to the Bosch, if you are in the market I suggest you check it out.

I also have that model circa several years ago haha. The only thing with the bulldog is its length. When you are let’s say anchoring a steel staircase on the underside you will not have any room. The other model is a bit more compact.

I use the crap out of mine and love it with one exception, since it was new the chuck is too loose and will eject the bit quite easily.

DR99Member since Nov 2012May 23, 2015 11:18 AM CT

Yea that’s the only downside to the D handle sds drills they have a lot of length. On the plus side the are very affordable.

torontotoolmanMember since May 2015May 23, 2015 12:20 PM CT

Soo is the d handle bulldog extreme a better choice what about power is there a big difference or no… because if the power is similar then im going for the d handle bulldog just makes sense with the money and what il be useing it for
