"The GBH18V-28DC hammer offers pros more control, precision, and speed when breaking down various concrete types.

Features and Specifications

The GBH18V-28DC tool's durability and strength allow for precision when it comes head-on against the hardest construction materials. The number of tool adjustment options users can enjoy in real-time allows the hammer to instantaneously adapt to any project, anytime.
