Diary and Appointments
The 12 kg GBH 12-52
D Professional rotary
hammer from Bosch offers
maximum performance
in its class during drilling
and chiselling. The tool is
powered by a 1 700 watt
motor which delivers 19
joules of impact energy.
Its performance is
therefore much higher
than the predecessor
model. It is especially
suitable for horizontal
demolition work,
correction tasks or
chiselling tasks which
call for high chiselling
performance.
