Overview
The Bosch 11264EVS is a corded electric rotary hammer running on 120 volts with a 13-amp motor, delivering 340 RPM. The low RPM speed combined with 13 amps indicates a tool built for heavy hammering impact rather than fast rotation, suited for larger-diameter hole drilling and demanding demolition or chipping tasks in concrete and stone.
At $648.99 and 15.2 pounds this is a specialized professional tool. The weight is among the heaviest in the rotary hammer category and requires two-handed operation and physical conditioning for extended use. Dimensions of 19.25 inches long confirm this is a full-size, high-performance machine rather than a compact drill.
Demand at this price tier is expectedly lower, with zero tracked purchases in the last month, reflecting the specialized professional buyer pool rather than broad consumer appeal. The 4.7-star average across 369 reviews is genuine validation from verified owners who needed this level of capability and found it delivered.
Pros
- 13-amp motor is one of the highest power draws in the corded rotary hammer segment
- 4.7-star rating from 369 reviews confirms professional-grade satisfaction
- Bosch brand provides deep service network and parts availability for a premium investment
- 340 RPM speed optimized for heavy-impact rotary hammer work rather than fast boring
Cons
- 15.2-pound weight demands significant physical effort and is not suitable for solo overhead work
- $648.99 is a premium price that targets professional users rather than general buyers
- Zero monthly purchases recorded, indicating specialized niche demand rather than broad market pull

Performance notes
Corded electric at 120 volts, 13-amp draw, 340 RPM. The 13-amp motor is the highest in this batch and targets professional concrete and masonry applications: large-diameter drilling, core drilling, and heavy chipping. Item weight of 15.2 pounds and 19.25-inch length confirm full-size pro-class configuration. Low RPM of 340 is intentional for high-torque, high-impact rotary hammer work rather than general drilling speed.
What buyers say
The 369-review base at 4.7 stars reflects strong satisfaction among professional users who chose the 11264EVS for demanding applications. Owners consistently validate the tool's power and reliability for the heavy-duty tasks it targets. Price is acknowledged as high but justified by performance among verified buyers. The tool draws minimal casual or entry-level buyer feedback given its price and weight profile.
