VEVOR Rotary Hammer Drill
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Bosch 11255VSR is a lightweight, corded SDS-plus rotary hammer offering robust 2.0 ft-lbs of impact energy and vibration control. Its main limitation is the corded design, which restricts mobility and requires access to a power outlet. It is best suited for professional contractors working in areas with reliable power access.
The VEVOR 1" SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer Drill is a 20V brushless cordless tool designed for light-to-medium duty concrete work, featuring 2.8 J of impact energy and 1200 RPM. While it offers high raw power specs at a budget-friendly price, the heavy weight and limited battery runtime are notable trade-offs. It is best suited for DIY homeowners and weekend warriors needing versatile cordless drilling for home renovations.

“boosts workflow on small projects”
“reasonably well powered at 3 J for the sale price”
Professional reviewers and editors generally agree that the VEVOR rotary hammer punches above its weight class for light-to-medium jobs. They praise the 2.8 J impact energy and brushless efficiency as reasonable for the price, making it suitable for DIYers. However, they caution that VEVOR's variable build quality and heavier weight make it unsuitable for professional daily drivers who require premium refinement and durability.
Everyday users commonly praise the tool's strong value and ability to boost workflow on small home renovation projects, particularly for drilling 1-inch holes in concrete. Recurring complaints focus on the short battery runtime in hammer mode, overheating issues after prolonged use, and the heavy weight causing arm fatigue.
