Background

The Bosch RH328VC is a rotary hammer drill produced by Robert Bosch GmbH. This drill is engineered for heavy-duty drilling and chiseling in materials like concrete and masonry. As a part of the company's SDS-plus rotary hammer series, it is designed to handle demanding tasks with efficiency.

The drill comes with a 7.5 amp motor that operates at a voltage of 120V AC. It features a no-load speed of 0-1,100 RPM and beats per minute (BPM) of 0-4,500. The drill uses SDS-Plus bits with a maximum bit diameter of ½ in. With the dimensions of 17 in x 8 in x 6 in and a weight of 4.2 lbs, it is a compact tool. Some key features include vibration control to reduce operation vibration, Variolock rotary hammer function for mode switching, soft start circuitry for smooth startups, overload protection to guard the motor, variable speed trigger for speed customization, depth gauge for repeatable drilling depth, and an auxiliary handle for better control. The drill also comes with a carrying case.

The Bosch RH328VC is primarily used for concrete drilling applications like setting anchors, driving ground rods, core drilling, and chiseling channels or grooves. Its 7.5 amp motor delivers 0.9 ft-lbs of impact energy, making it suitable for work in concrete. The maximum drilling capacity in concrete is 5/8" and the maximum core bit capacity is 4". The drill's rotary hammer mechanism generates hammering action only when needed, optimizing drilling speed. The drill can also be switched to rotation-only mode for drilling in wood or metal. The variable speed trigger provides the user with precise control over drilling speed.
