I use a Bosch HS1926 5-3/8-Inch x 16-Inch Round Spade - SDS MAX Shank and am very happy with the results.

I don't know. I don't use it for digging. I am an insulation contractor. We drill holes in masonry to inject insulation. I love this drill.

I'm using Bosch HS1922 SDS-max Hammer Steel 4-1/2-in x 17-in Clay Spade and that is working well

Digging holes in dirt/soil I presume? Sorry I couldn't say, however I did use a Bosch HS1917 2" spade bit to remove mortar on a masonry stair tread & it went through it like butter.

With the drill, I would recommend pilot holes. If you get the impact wrench, no need for pilot holes.

Thank you for your interest. Yes, the Bosch HD21-2 would work for drilling holes into concrete with the proper bit as long as the diameter of the hole is not larger than 7/8" which is the maximum capacity for this hammer drill. If you need to drill larger diameter holes we would recommend one of our larger rotary hammers. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

1-1/8 is the largest that is recommended. I have not had much luck with this tool, it's not up to usual Bosch standards

Most of the other cheaper ones have only a magnetic grip which are not very strong when you put something other than a small bit. I have used the this Milwaukee attachment with a 12 in extension bit with a six in long 1" spade bit without losing the either bit while facing down. I dare you try that with any other cheaper angle attachments and see if you don't lose the spade bit and the extension bit.

Any standard sized drill bit. If it's too small for the chuck to hold, it's too small to be putting in a drill with this much power and weight, you'll break the bit if you cough. :)

I don't know about switching the chuck over to a Jacobs, but the the Bosch I have seems fine. This is my favorite drill (I gave 4 different drills), the Bosch is always the one I look for first. I have a compact Makita that has a chuck the constantly drops the bits. The Bosch seems fine, holds the bits tight and has minimal runout.

This drill has the standard chuck that most drills have... I have owned many drills this is probably the best one.

If they are SDS-Max type bits, then yes. Bosch also makes this tool in spline drive configuration, model# 11265EVS, so if the Hilti you have uses spline drive bits, then that is the one you want. If the Hilti you have uses proprietary Hilti bits, then no Bosch tool will work.

The bits are called SDS MAX. It refers ro the type of shank on the bit that fits into the drill.

The Bosch HD21-2 is overall an extremely good drill for all of its uses, and well worth the money. I was a bit skeptical about the plastic support handle and the plastic case; but, those things have held up well, so far. After extensive research on hammer drills, and thirty years experience with power tools, I believe this drill is the best for the money. For anyone with limited storage space for tools, or those who aren't power tool freaks, this is the one to have; it does everything you need.

Thank you for your question. The tools in the CLPK234-181L will not work for drilling 3 inch holes. The maximum size is 2" for our cordless tools. A corded drill would be the best for drilling 3 inch holes. If you have further questions please feel free to contact our Bosch Customer Service Representatives at 1-877-BOSCH-99 (1-877-267-2499).

Look up "mini drill chuck", pretty certain it will bring up some decent choices that will hold your bits mentioned.

It might if the hex part and notch are in the same position. Bosch Brute [Bosch HS2169 Brute 1-1/8 in. Hex Hammer Steel 5-1/2 in. Clay Spade]for $69 and the shaft looks longer than this. I own this attachment and use it with the Neiko electric jack hammer. My main complaint is the length is short so your bent over as you use it but otherwise it is great. For $20 more you will get a clay spade that you know will work and appears to have a longer shaft which has a lot of benefits especially as you dig a hole.

The chuck, which is a quick change socket, on the Bosch PS21-2A does not wobble much at all! I use the Bosch PS21-2A primarily for screws that are quite small and I have not stripped a head yet. As far as the run out, I have not drilled any holes and I would think that the run out would be heavily dependent on the drill bit that's being used. The Bosch PS21-2A came with a flathead screwdriver bit and a phillips head bit. In my applications so far, it's a little workhorse that gets the job done fast!

This tool is not for the commercial user. If you need to drill a hole in anything it will do it with the proper drill but it won't be as fast as some plugged in brute of a drill. That said it is light, handy and well made. Bosch tools are not toys or junk that is for sure.

Use a dewalt just make sure that it doesn't over heat if you are drilling a lot of holes
