Bosch PBH 2100 RE martillo perforador

The Bosch PBH 2100 RE rotary hammer is a compact and powerful tool for common hammering, drilling and chiselling tasks. Driven by a 550 W motor and a pneumatic Bosch hammer mechanism delivering 1.7 J single impact energy, it achieves high impact force and drills through hard materials. The tool is slim and lightweight (2.2 kg) with softgrip coverings for comfortable, secure handling. It features an SDS-plus chuck for tool-free bit and chisel changes, a rotation stop for chiselling, and Vario-Lock to fix the chisel in 36 positions. No-load speed reaches up to 2,300 rpm and the impact rate up to 5,800 bpm. Maximum drilling diameters: 20 mm in concrete, 30 mm in wood and 13 mm in steel.

Advantages

The PBH 2100 RE combines compact dimensions and low weight with 550 W power and a pneumatic hammer mechanism to provide effective impact force. Quick, tool-free bit changes are possible thanks to the SDS-plus chuck, while the Vario-Lock system allows precise chisel positioning. The rotation stop and adjustable speed let you switch between rotary drilling, hammer drilling and chiselling modes to match the material and task. An accelerator switch enables gentle starts for delicate surfaces and full speed for faster progress.

Suitable for

• Drilling holes in concrete and masonry up to 20 mm
• Drilling wood and metal (up to 30 mm in wood, 13 mm in steel)
• Chiselling tasks such as removing tiles and cutting cable ducts
• Light demolition and small wall breakthroughs

Key specifications

How to use

Select the appropriate mode with the rotary switch: rotary drilling with impact for masonry, rotary drilling without impact for wood or metal, or chiselling with rotation stop. Fit the correct SDS-plus bit or chisel and secure it; use Vario-Lock to set the chisel angle if required. Start with a gentle trigger pull (accelerator) on delicate surfaces such as tiles, then increase speed as needed. Apply steady guidance and moderate pressure—high impact force is generated by the hammer mechanism, so excessive force is unnecessary. After use, release the bit and store the tool and accessories in a dry place.

Recommendations

Use appropriate personal protective equipment (safety goggles, ear protection and dust mask) when drilling or chiselling. Match drill bits and chisels to the material and check accessory condition regularly. For prolonged tasks, allow occasional breaks to avoid overheating.
