In summer of 2018, we met Paul through Instagram. We were pretty new to the platform, with a few followers, posting what we do. I figured out one day that he was local to me from a post he made with a tagged location. The rest is history.

First impressions

 

The first tool that Paul brought to our job site was the Bosch GBH18V-20K21 hammer drill. We had never used a cordless hammer drill before, but had been using the Bosch Bulldog Extreme for a few years, so we were familiar with Bosch tools. To say that I was impressed was an understatement. No extension cord,YES! No time wasted dragging around the cord,YES!  No annoying generator running.. EXTRA YES. Total game changer for us.

Since last summer, we have not used our corded hammer drills one time. We liked it so much we ended up buying the larger Bulldog GCH18V-26K24 for our other truck. Both drills have tons of power, strong batteries and are easy to handle. They are especially useful when we have to bolt our aluminum forms to existing concrete walls.
 

Cordless Convenience

Not having to toss a cord behind the wall and roll it back up when we’re done takes all the chore out of the work. Being that they are so compact, we are able to get them into tight spots one handed, while still having total control. We have found that we average 25-30 One half inch holes 4′ deep drilled on one battery charge, depending mostly on the age of the concrete. Typically, this exceeds the amount of holes we would need to drill in one day, but we always have the second battery if necessary. While we didn’t test each drill against each other, the 26K24 definitely has a little extra grunt to it.
 

I highly recommend both of these rotary hammers as they have changed our operation completely. And a huge thanks to Paul, who showed us an easier, faster way to complete our work.
