A lot of that weight increase is due to the battery and is the trade-off you’ll need to make to cut the cord. It’s also about an inch longer and weighs almost 2 pounds more. The big differences are that the cordless model has slightly less impact energy at 2.4 foot-pounds (but matches other corded rotary hammers from Bosch). They look similar and are clearly in the same class with one another. The Bosch RH328VC-36K 36V SDS-Plus Bulldog Rotary Hammer has a corded brother – the Bosch RH328VC. Having already changed opinions about cordless tools within my company thanks to Milwaukee’s M18 Fuel Deep Cut Band Saw and knowing Bosch’s reputation for concrete tools, I didn’t hesitate when asked to review the Bosch RH328VC-36K. Now this isn’t my first rodeo and I know cordless tools have come a long way, but there’s still a sense that there’s a big trade-off in power if you move to cordless with heavy-duty tools like rotary hammers. All of our trucks have to carry a gas generator to run the heavy-duty tools required to repair and upgrade roads in our area. What they really mean by that is that they want to see my work truck lose its generator. One of the challenges of my job is that people making decisions above my pay grade are constantly trying to push us to be more green. The vast majority of our work is an asphalt and concrete. As a contractor for the Florida Department of Transportation in the Tampa Bay area, my crew and I are using rotary hammers all the time. ![]()
