Black&Decker Professional P 8017

[Hermann-the-german]

Hello everybody, can somebody please tell me on the quality of the Black&Decker Professional P 8017 rotary hammer? According to B&D customer service, the latest production date is 1991. It offered as NOS, but over here in germany it is almost unknown. AFAIK the B&D Professional tools are high quality.

Experience based opinions are highly appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Think Dewalt in a black case. B&D's best.

Black & Decker, in the past, made a line of top quality professional tools. Today they are not the same. Your rotary hammer is one of the older good ones that were all-metal.

Thank you! That sounds promising. The only drawback over a similar sized Bosch (blue) UBH 20 is, that the B&D's rated max. diameter in concrete is 16 mm while for the Bosch it's 20.
