Demolition Hammer Review – What Is The Bosch 11316EVS SDS Max?
This Bosch 11216EVS Demolition Hammer is definitely a favorite in our books, not only does is incredibly user friendly but it only weighs in under 23 pounds and you know just as well as we do that it will save your arms and back after using this for hours on end. Some would think that due to its size that it would lack the power that you need but that is not the case at all with this Bosch SD Max which offers a staggering range of impact energy from 4.4 to 18.4 ft. lbs. and up to 1,890 blows per minute, demolishing tough concrete to dust.
This Demolition Hammer is built to do the work for you, unlike many other demolition hammers we have used we actually found that exerting force onto it will actually slow you down. The rear padded handle which feels much like a pistol grip in your hands allows for very little vibration to be felt.
Some of the features of the concrete tool include:
- SDS-max bit system – which means tool free bit changing, also SDS bits are found at most hardware stores so when a bit breaks half way through the day you are not stuck in a pinch trying to find a new bit.
- Variable-speed dial – means that you can adjust according to the job that needs to be done.
- Constant Response Circuitry – – Provides soft-start – Maintains constant speed under load – Provides overload protection
- Service Minder light – indicates when preventative maintenance is required so you do not over work your demolition hammer resulting in having to purchase a new one

Demolition Hammer Review – Bosch 11316EVS SDS Max Pros!
We found that Pros of this Bosch Demolition Hammer were very easy to come by. Here is a list of some of the pros that we were able to find:
- It is very light and compact but despite its size and weight it hits hard compared to other hammers in this class.
- SDS max demolition hammer bits are becoming easy to find in retail hardware stores and lumber yards which is very important if you break a point off early in the day on a critical job
- The shovel attachment you can buy for it goes thru hard soil and clay like a hot knife in butter.
- It is a very precise “destroyer” it exerts a tremendous amount of energy to a small area and allows you to control that energy to your advantage.
- It has a long, heavy duty power cord built in so even if you need an extension cord, you have plenty of cord to keep out of your working area.
- The constant on switch eliminates trigger fatigue and helps your brushes last longer.
- It has an overheat sensor to prevent damage to your demolition hammer, but I’ve never seen one overheat.
