ᐅ Buying a Rotary Hammer Drill

Hello!
I want to buy a rotary hammer and even found one online. It is a Bavaria rotary hammer.
Does anyone have this? Does it work well?

Have you only found a single rotary hammer online? Or why do you want exactly that one?

When I moved into my apartment, I bought an inexpensive cordless hammer drill from Bosch (green) and shortly after had to buy a proper one because I couldn’t drill holes into my reinforced concrete ceiling with it.

Since then, I no longer buy cheap tools if I want to use them for a longer time.

So, a clear recommendation for Makita. I have the HR2750 or something similar. Absolutely amazing value for money. If you want to spend more, you can buy a bigger model from them. Although this one is really enough.
We used it for days for chiseling. And everything works perfectly. The higher price for the blue Bosch models is not worth it.

Before offering specific advice, it would be useful to know the intended use. There is a big difference between drilling a single hole in a concrete ceiling and demolishing a wall, or removing tiles, etc.
Depending on the application, different tools are suitable. How often do you expect to use it?

Generally, I would recommend brand-name tools, for example, Hilti, Metabo, Bosch (blue), or similar.
However, I also have an affordable one from Worx, which is more powerful than my other two. The Worx WX333 was more of an emergency purchase from a hardware store because I needed to continue working right away, and I was surprised how well it handled tile removal. Since that’s not a frequent task for me, it didn’t have to be an expensive brand-name tool.
My Metabo UHE2850 was sometimes not quite strong enough. It is more of a universal tool for drilling holes and for a small tiled kitchen backsplash, even with a second chuck for regular drill bits. But for 100 m² (1,076 sq ft) of floor tiles and two bathrooms, that was a bit exhausting.
My old rotary hammer (Bosch blue GBH 2 SR) does not have a rotation stop for chiseling, which is why I bought the Metabo.
For drilling holes (unless larger jobs come up), I wouldn’t really want to use the Worx since it is relatively heavy. In that case, a smaller tool makes more sense.

So, as mentioned:
- If you plan to use it often or money is not an issue, buy a brand-name tool. Or look for a used one or wait for a good deal if time is not urgent. Possibly a discounted brand model that is being discontinued.
- Choose a more powerful or more compact model depending on the intended use. Is a rotation stop (for chiseling) necessary? Combination hammers are a good compromise for home use.
