Review on 🔨 Bosch 11255VSR SDS Plus BULLDOG Xtreme Rotary Hammer Drill by Christopher Sullivan

We have an embossed concrete patio that the previous owners covered in Chattahoochee stone. (By the way, NEVER do this! You'll regret it, and one day you'll realize how pathetic this stuff is, you're going to have to dig it all out!) My husband and I have thought about getting rid of this stuff several times Years. We think about it and then decide to come back to it "next year", mainly because there is no way to raise it that doesn't cost a lot of money and in the process could erode the concrete underneath. We received an estimate from a contractor who said it would cost at least $1,000 to remove it, and there's no guarantee the concrete underneath is in decent condition. We decided to wait a little longer while I studied it. There really isn't much discussion about deleting Chattahoochee on the internet. I found several posts but there was a lot of disagreement on how to do this. I went to a rental that said I had to rent a jackhammer with a tile blade and it would be $75 a day. I figured it would be a job that would take a few days, so I hesitated. I came to Revain looking for a similar tool to the ones offered for hire. I found this 1" Bosch 11255VSR BULLDOG Xtreme SDS-plus D-handle Hammer Drill Bit. One of the reviewers used it on Chattahoochee Rock! (Thanks for your feedback - it was very helpful!) We have a tool and a wider blade ordered (although you can only get a limited blade width on this model - we ordered this: Bosch HS1425 SDS-plus) Steel Hammer with Shank - 1-1/2" wide x 10" wide chisel Let me just say, it was amazing! It took a few tries to get the angle for the chisel blade just right, but everything worked smoothly after that. We let the hammer rest about every 15 minutes (we also had to rest!) but the whole Stone was removed in multiple sessions over several days.(It's hot here in South Florida so we couldn't do everything in one day.) The patio area is about 400 square feet.We used gloves and goggles since it picks up some of the stone. Too bad I didn't take a video so you can see how easily the stone came off. There were some moments that were a bit more difficult, but over time everything worked out. I took some photos during the process - I'll post them here. My husband and I think this hammer was the best investment we've made. done after a while. I can think of many uses for it in the future - removing tile or vinyl, removing tile from bathtubs and showers when they need a makeover, etc. Just remember to rest the hammer from time to time to keep it from overheating. . . As a bonus, the stamped concrete underneath survived the entire process and looks brand new after one coat of concrete sealing!
