Could you use the two larger bits with the Bosch HDS182 Compact Tough Hammer Drill, or would a more powerful hammer drill be better?

The base of the two larger bits have a shank that will fit a 1/2 chuck. If thats what you got, than thats all it takes.

i own the Milwaukee 18v combo drill. I never had a problem even in concrete.These bits are the best I have ever used. They drill better than my other massonary bits.They seem to stay sharp longer.

The Bosch Blue Granite are carbide concrete bits, smooth shank no flute. If you buy the bits made in Germany ( NOT CHINA ) they are two to three times longer lasting. Amazon sells both./ not familiar with HDS182 if it is a 18-volt with 1/2 chuck and you let drill motor do the work and don't force or try and drill 50 or 60 wholes it will do the job.. Smoothbore00..

You should be able to. However, I used a Makita AC powered hammer drill for my job, which was to drill through 3/4 inch granite to install a microwave oven.

These bits are for concrete drilling. You will need a drill that will be able to take a 1/2" shank for larger bits . If you're drilling many holes go with heavy duty electric hammer drill. If you're a homeowner go with heavy duty hammer drill 18 volt or above. Hammer drills take a beating don't waste your money on cheaper models. Go with any heavy duty model bosch hammer drill either electric or 18 volt cordless and you will be able to use these bits.

I just came from garage and the 8 pcs. set in question is one of the ones i bought from Amazon. They are marked made in GERMANY. I bought them in Nov. 2013.../ I drilled to mount stands with Red Heads. About 16 wholes 2" deep , used same bit and it still drills.

No, They are designed specifically for SDS Plus type rotary hammer drills, not standard drills/hammer drills. They're built to slide up and down, and are not round where the a regular chuck would clamp them. If you need to drill into concrete, though, an SDS type drill and bits is the best way to go. It's night and day in the difference between using a regular drill with a hammer function and a rotary hammer drill and bit. Rotary hammer drills and bits cut like butter...at least my Bosch does. The bits last far longer and it cuts my labor time tremendously.

Mitch - I'd stay away from a hammer drill. This unit has a light-weight main shaft designed to fit 1/4" hex chucks like from a 18v 1/4" impact driver. However, it's beefy enough that I had no problem using it in the 1/2" Jacobs chuck in my drill press. I needed a smaller diameter chuck for a project I was working on and it worked like a charm. The hex-shaft design extends its utility so it can be used in many applications. It's a very flexible design - and a useful addition to any workshop.

Keep in mind that the chuck (the part that holds the drill bit) is only 0.25 inches. So you'll have to have a drill bit with a 0.25 inch shank or smaller. Also, the limited height adjustment means you can't use a very long bit. I purchased the following drill press (from a different retail chain) and it accepts larger bits, has a greater throw, and a more powerful motor. It is much heavier and a good bit larger, but I find the trade-offs are worth it. POWERTEC DP801 Baby Drill Press, 5-Speed

This Bosch is good for smaller jobs, the Makita will be faster but may tired you out faster. Bigger is not always better - it depends. You may need both. LOL.

Absolutely! This hammer drill uses SDS Plus bits only. The bits can go up to 1". Standard drill bits will not work in this drill.

You could, but I think this has more power than you need. I would try a rotary hammer drill (set to hammer only), with a chisel bit.

I have, but not with a hole saw of this type. These bits are designed to drill through material not exceeding the total depth of the drill bit. They are great on glass and ceramic tile not exceeding 1/2" thickness. You would be better served using a large hammer drill with a 2" BIT. The bit itself would have to be as long or longer as the material you're drilling through (i.e., 8" block would require a 10 or 12" bit). These drills and bits are available to rent at most rental tool facilities. The expense of purchasing would exceed $800.00.

These are regular shank drill bits, SDS bits just pushes in to a chuck without tightening and longer. So if your drill chuck doesn't tighten with a key or by hand then these won't work. They usually are a harden steel for chipping or use in a hammer drill and I believe come in larger sizes. This drill set seems to be a very good set for up to 1/4'" material as far as my use so far, and is nicely packaged for your tool box.

Thank you for your interest. Yes, the Bosch HD21-2 would work for drilling holes into concrete with the proper bit as long as the diameter of the hole is not larger than 7/8" which is the maximum capacity for this hammer drill. If you need to drill larger diameter holes we would recommend one of our larger rotary hammers. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

I have used a Bosch SDS Max Hammer Drill with various bits to dig around and expose roots and root balls but the bits typically bounce off the large roots (if they are alive at least). I then used a 6" pruning blade on a reciprocating saw to cut them in two places so I can remove a section of root an have space to continue digging with the SDS-max. If you need to remove a large root ball, alternate using both tools (hammer drill and saw, along with a shovel and pry bar) until it is loose. In terms of what SDS-max attachment to use, I would go with clay spade bit - keep it sharp for best results.

Some of the larger bits in this set may be used carefully in a handheld power drill, but certainly the tinier ones will snap off instantly. A drill press (or milling machine) is the best bet for getting the most out of the entire set. Also, screws are hardened steel and are very hard to drill through. I fear the combination of handheld drill along with the hardness of the target will lead to poor results. Look to "screw extractors" for a better system.

This drill bit is built with really good quality. It should work with any 1/2 drill. However, it is the drill usually has too much torque, and hard to control the torque. Using the bit with such drill is easy to hurt the rist. Be very careful with it. I am not recommending it as it is tricky and easy to hurt rist.

I am not sure if it is more powerful. I have a 20v brushless hammer drill also and I interchange the batteries. Both are very powerful and really amazing drills. I have not used an 18v so I cannot compare the two types. The DCD780B is a great drill, I highly recommend it.

I have both the 18v and 20v dewalt hammer drills and have found the torgue and speed driving 1/2"x8" lage bolts into salt treated 8x8" to be superior with the 20v. I have found with the 20v, when drilling through steel to be very careful and have a good grip so if it binds you don't twist your wrist. For both the money and performance I would chose the 20v. However, I have never removed any head bolts with it, but have hammered off rusted gas tank straps with ease.
