Marketing Copy	The Bosch RH540M SDS-max® 1-9/16 In. Combination Hammer is a rotary hammer and hammer-only tool designed for concrete contractors and professional remodelers who need a powerful and versatile tool. It delivers 6.1 Ft.-Lbs. of impact energy while weighing in at only 15.2 Lbs. The motor is rated at 170 to 340 RPM in rotary mode and 1,200 to 2,750 BPM in hammer mode, which will easily reduce concrete to dust. Its SDS-max® bit system allows tool-free and one-handed bit changes. The Vario-Lock mechanism lets users angle the chisel into 12 different positions to optimize the working angle. The hammer has a Dual Mode Selector Knob and service minder brushes, which clearly indicate when preventive maintenance is required.
Extended Marketing Copy	Bosch RH540M SDS-max® 1-9/16 In. Combination Hammer The Bosch RH540M SDS-max® 1-9/16 In. Combination Hammer delivers 6.1 Ft.-Lbs. of impact energy, making it the hardest hitting and fastest drilling rotary hammer in its class. Delivering 38 percent more impact energy than previous generations and up to 20 percent more than other combo rotary hammers in its class, it has a no-load 170 to 340 RPM, while delivering 1,200 to 2,750 blows per minute. This tool easily handles block or tile and drills through tough materials but weighs just over 15 Lbs. and is only 19 In. in length. SDS-max® and Integral Clutch Bring Convenience Bosch's SDS-max® allows for tool-free and one-handed bit changes, making the combo hammer even more versatile. The operator twists the bit and pushes it until it clicks into place and locks automatically, and it's good to go. The system also provides dust protection and a maximum impact energy transfer rate. The tool's integral clutch disengages the torque transmission if the bit gets into a bind situation, providing protection for the tool and less fatigue for the operator. Constant electronics provide soft start and maintain constant speed under load – this also helps protect against an overload situation. Peak Effectiveness The Bosch RH540M allows the user to get the most productivity from the tool with Vario-Lock Positioning. This mechanism rotates and locks the bit into 12 different positions to optimize the working angle, so the hammer is more effective reducing concrete to dust. A simple twist of the locking sleeve will secure the chisel. The auxiliary handle rotates 360 degrees so the operator can set it exactly where it will be the most operational to use. The auxiliary handle provides additional control and improved depth accuracy. Adaptable and Effective The Bosch RH540M Combination Hammer has a combination dual mode selector knob allows the tool to be switched between rotary mode or hammer-only mode. This allows for controlled drilling and chiseling applications and precise hole placement. Service minder brushes on the tools also keep them running at maximum capacity, as the tools clearly indicate when preventive maintenance is required. Innovative service modules are designed to let a qualified service technician quickly replace the brushes and cord. What's in the Box The Bosch RH540M SDS-max® 1-9/16 In.

Reviews	This hammer has been a workhorse for us for years. It was the only sds-max option that was available in my area at the time. It has no active vibration reduction so its not the easiest on your body but its done everything from a 6in paddle for tile removal to point chisels for breaking out 6in slabs. Super solid hammer, 5 years of commercial flooring use and its still going strong. Its been our main breaker for the whole time so its seen some hours. Keep it greased and dont let it get too hot, and it lives on. Hopefully they didnt change anything on the newer tools, for the price you pretty much can't do better. The only difference between this and my "professional" hilti breaker is the weight and vibration. It is our secondary breaker now but still keeps slappin. \| The Rotary Demo Hammer is powerful and very useful here in concrete construction trade very satisfied with this tool , highly recommend to anyone working construction \| Ample power. Well made. Wish there are longer bits especially in spades. That will make digging narrow trenches a lot easier. \| I bought this 4 years ago . Awesome drill. Wouldn't buy any other brand. \| It's a very very good product. Thank you smaller so much
