"The Bulldog and a 1/2 inch x 18" drill bit made it easy to perforate the cement and allowing for a swing of a sledge hammer to break it up into manageable junks. I think the largest SDS Plus drill bit I can get for this Bulldog is 1 1/4 inch."
"Metal depth stop as opposed to some vendor's plastic ones, rugged case, plenty of power cord, easy controls, aux handle that can be swiveled to any angle around the nose of the tool, or removed entirely."
"It ended up being a lot more work then I thought it would be to chip away the tile and then chip away the thin set."
"I got a couple of holes drilled eventually (after minutes of noise and effort), but there was one hole that ran into a rock in the concrete and the Ryobe couldn't get past it and I eventually gave up. I have the SDS-plus bits, but I also got the drill chuck and did the holes for the threshold with TapCon bits, since those were the screws I was using."
"I told my client I'd be back next week and went home and ordered the Bosch 11255VSR Bulldog Xtreme from Amazon. Sure enough, the Bulldog punched the holes into that rock like the proverbial hot knife through butter."
"ft. in about 2 days time with the aid of a shovel once we used the tool to get underneath the tile."
