Great video. Well explained, tested & detailed. That SDS attachment is a doozy though. Packs a mean punch for 12V tool. Love my Bosch tools, coming from a user of Bosch for over 23 years. Much respect sir.
Nice show. I didn’t know they made the sds+ for the 12v. If you have the opportunity, check out the brushless version 300fc. it has some improvements I think that rotary hammer would definitely appreciate. Thanks for the video! Merry Christmas and happy holidays from across the pond! “Presumably”lol
Annoyingly the 300fc is what I meant to purchase, it's brushless and has the belt clip (which I really miss from the model in the video). The sds attachment is great, but always start with a small bit and low speed, there's no real speed control with it so it punches immediately unlike a dedicated SDS. It's a fantastic tool for small jobs, it's always on the top of my tool pile in the van 👍 Thanks for watching, and merry Christmas to you too. (From the other side of the pond 😉).
@@ChampionsOfTheTrade totally hear you on the belt clip. Though for me it does get a bit I guess I’d say concerning when I’m using in tight spots in finished carcasses, which is often when I’m using this tool. So there’s that on the side of no clip lol. I’ve otherwise only heard good things about the model you have there. Thanks for the advice on the sds attachment. So in the ideal scenario for finessing a trigger it doesn’t allow for it smh. Another nice situation you have is the nice L-box with insert tray. Over here, the little soft case they give us is abysmal. All of my “nitpicks” aside, I gotta say the tool paid for itself day 1 for me. Thanks again!
1st time watching your video and it was nicely done. I'm actually waiting for mine to be delivered today with the extra SDS. It's the 300fc. I really hope it would help me out in my house. Anyway like the way you explained without much brambling on what you don't like. All the best and cheers from Singapore...
@@ChampionsOfTheTrade it has the festool style handle, the fwd/reverse switch is on top, and one of the chuck uses a magnet to hold the bit. All does the same thing I guess, but Bosch normal drill handle makes it more portable.
They have manufacturing plants all over the globe,but properly supervised & quality controlled by Bosch Engineers, so you do not have to worry about the quality. The high standard of quality is maintained.
Wish we got that nice storage box in the US instead of the useless zippered bag. But till that day - use a ChukRak to be sure you don't misplace or lose your chucks.
@@ChampionsOfTheTrade Thanks for looking - ChukRak is ideal when you carry your drill in a tote with other tools, or just keeping track of them in the shop or on the bench.
Wow:- the ability to dril 90 degrees , whit the SDS attachment, is FENOMENAL!!
It's got me out of a few problems, that's for sure.
Love my bosch 12v and 18v tools. Really wish Bosch would let us in the US get all the same attachments and tools that the Euro market gets.
That is bizarre, I would have thought they'd send the same kits out everywhere (except the chargers obviously).
This is the old brushed version. There's an improved brushless version: GSR12V-300FCB22
I know, I bought this because it was at a really good price at a trade fair.... But I do still wish it had a belt clip 😆

Thank you very much for the positive feedback 👌
Best video so far! Guess I know what tool I’m getting next…
Thank you Tim. Please let me know how you get on with it once you have it 👍👨🔧
Thanks Sam, nicely done
Thank you. I look forward to doing more.

This looks really cool... Would you recommend buying the SDS attachment to make the tool more useful?
It is a great tool, and yes I would if your job requires drilling into walls 👍
@@ChampionsOfTheTrade Yes, for now, but i prefer Bosch make a dedicated 12V SDS Rotary Hammer Drill instead. Long overdue

Thank you, good luck with your home renovation
I have the milwaukee version. This one is much better, but these drivers are awesome.
How does the Milwaukee differ?

What about new GSR 12V-35 FC?
Funnily enough, I bought that very recently. It seems lighter and the belt clip is a god send. I wish I'd bought that first. All the attachments fit.
Where is it made?
Mine was manufactured in Malaysia (according to the blue box), but they have manufacturing plants all over the globe.

Just had a look at the ChukRak, simple but effective idea 👍

I want one!
Link is in the description box 😉
The 15fc have no kickback control 🤔. Its more likely that the engine shut off because of overheating 😅
Quite possibly, its only a little machine with limited power.
