Hammer Drill Bosch PBH 2100 RE 550W 2300 RPM SDS Plus

The Bosch PBH 2100 RE 550W 2300 RPM SDS Plus hammer drill combines a compact design with a 550W motor and a maximum no-load speed of 2300 RPM. Equipped with an SDS Plus chuck and an impact energy of 1.7 J, it is designed for rotary drilling and light hammer drilling in materials such as concrete, masonry, wood and steel. The tool weighs approximately 2.2 kg, which makes it suitable for overhead and extended use while retaining stable handling and straightforward bit changes.

Advantages

The SDS Plus chuck enables quick and tool-free bit changes and secure bit retention during hammering. A 550W motor provides consistent power for medium-duty tasks while the 1.7 J impact energy improves drilling speed in masonry and concrete up to a recommended maximum diameter of about 20 mm. The compact and lightweight construction reduces user fatigue and allows work in confined spaces. Standard AC power ensures steady performance without battery limitations.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry for anchors and plugs (up to 20 mm)
• General drilling in wood up to 30 mm
• Drilling in steel and metal up to 13 mm
• Light demolition work where controlled hammer action is needed
• Home improvement and renovation tasks requiring a compact rotary hammer

How to use

Before use, verify the appropriate drill bit for the material and insert it into the SDS Plus chuck until it locks. Secure the workpiece and wear suitable personal protective equipment, including eye and hearing protection. Select the drilling mode required (rotary or hammering) and set the drill to the recommended speed. Apply steady pressure without forcing the tool; allow the hammer action to perform material removal. For larger diameter holes in masonry, start with a smaller pilot hole and progress to the required size. After completing work, disconnect from the power source before changing bits or performing maintenance.

Recommendations

Use carbide-tipped SDS Plus masonry bits for concrete and masonry to achieve optimal drilling speed and bit life. For prolonged work, plan short breaks to avoid overheating and check that vents remain clear of dust. When drilling near sensitive finishes, protect surfaces and control dust with extraction or a dust collector. Match drill speed and pressure to the material: lower speeds and steady pressure for metal, higher speeds and hammer action for masonry.
