- Iv said it once I'll say it again.
The Bosch GSH11E is one of the reliable and longest lasting demolition hammers you can buy.
25 years old amd still running strong. Like all tools, the old designs are always more reliable.
But unlike a lot of older tools, the Bosch GSH 11 E is still sold today and is one of Boschs best machines on the market.

My brother had one of these stored in the basement, which drowned during the Ahrtal flooding. It stayed under 3 ft of water until recovered. The pneumatic part is grease and therefore also water right. Electronics are also sealed. So I dismantled the motor, dried all parts cleaned rust stains, greased it and put it back together. Absolutely worth it.
congrats on 100K Dean - love your channel.
Thanks so much!
What I’m going to be doing is watch at auction and farm sales for these tools being disposed of.
The big issue used to be finding schematics and access to parts. Because I don’t live in a city with good service centres we used to have to ship tools out, or pay “whatever” price someone would ask to take a stab at servicing.
We used to be at the mercy of the local parts supply counter to locate parts, and it was hit and miss and expensive.
WWW provides access to manufacturers sites, schematics , part #’s, and distributors and online ordering.
Really good videos, well filmed and expert instructions. I think it’s fantastic , that it’s cost effective to revive tools.
I really dislike using inferior, disposable things, simply Becuase they are inexpensive. I often end up buying better tools after having wasted time with the disposable stuff.
You are a honest man. Love your accent. Watching you from Jamaica. God bless you.
I am watching from Serbia 👋
Buy quality and repair. There's also the eco argument.
I'm an ex joiner with a number of old (20 yrs +) Bosch Blue tools. Sadly I don't have the knowledge to service / repair.
❤for your channel.
Funny… As I’m glued to this screen watching you open the full service box I felt the presence of my better half looming over my shoulder then she asks “whatcha watchin?” Then before I could finish saying “Deans tearing down and servicing a well worked Bosch” she sees you crumple up and toss the breakdown schematic and says “pfffft, typical guy, he doesn’t need any instructions!” I just about spit out my coffee laughing. She’s right though, I think we ALL do that regardless of if we’re familiar with whatever it is or not! You’ve got quite the skill set brother, thanks for taking us along, I’ve learned so much watching you work your magic over the years! 👍🏼👍🏼
I’ve got two on the bench myself for today, a humming angle grinder and a dead 1/4” impact… Wish me luck!😉
You don't need luck, you can handle them.
Well worth repairing. My grandfather was a tailor from Belfast and always said if it’s worth wearing it’s worth repairing . We always had nice stuff.
The best part is the wash and cleaning part so satisfying to watch parts being removed of all those gunky stuff
Absolutely love your channel Dean. It’s very relaxing and therapeutic. Your skills are first rate. Love the accent too.
Another crackin video Dean, your videos are addictive 😂, great watch
Glad you like them!
I was lucky enough to buy a hardly used 2001 model on eBay for £75 when it arrived It looked brand new. Still going strong 10 years later. Great tools.
The collar with a spiral thread for shedding oil is called a labyrinth seal. They used to be very common and in machines 1960s and older they often are the only seal.
The thing i appreciate about your videos is it brings out the appreciation for quality in people
Congratulations on the 100k! Well deserved!
Thank you very much!
Bro it's crazy how you know these machines so well that you can just rip them apart and put them back together again like it's nothing
Congrats 100k🎉 silver plate will arrive soon 😊😊 learned a lot from your videos, thanks for passing the knowledge 🤟💪
100K an achievement you can be proud of. I love watching you work. Thanks for sharing with us and here's to your next milestone, your first Million.
Really good video. I wonder how many good machines you have saved from the scrap bin with this video. Over time this video is going to help hundreds maybe more. Professionals purchase good machines, and service them. As a DIYer I’ve always had to do simple repairs myself which can be difficult, but today’s world access to schematics and UA-cam makes it much more feasible for many.
I’ve always disliked purchasing new tools when the current tool was good.
It makes me feel good when I can use (maybe abuse), a power tool for years and then clean it up, rejuvenate some parts, and off we go again. You do a good job detailing a complete rebuild, and all the steps involved. I have no doubt I would attempt this job, but would allow for significantly more time as it looks like you could do this with your eyes closed. I love watching someone who is really good at something.
Grease is the word. Well done on 100k subs.
Well deserved Dean on the 100! Here’s to the next. You got me going over all my well used power tools and even buying in spare brushes and checking them all with a bit more confidence! Thank you again. Sincerely. 👍
Hello, I'm from Portugal and I've been following you since the beginning, learning a lot from your videos. I also have the bosch Gsh 11 E. I would love to see you repair a gsh 11 you
Impressive work and congrat for the 100k, thank you very much for sharing your knowledge and always be good to repair high-end tools, inexpensive brands are usually disposable and not worth repairing
Thank you very much!
I don’t need one of these, but if I see one, I would consider grabbing it now.
I love my 2 26 and can only imagine how much more this one can do. Sturdy machines for sure.
Congrats on the century m8, give us a tour of your hardware store, and explanation on how you got into all you do
Congrats on 100k!
35:00 "I am tired, boss"
In answer to your question, (as a diy enthusiast) if I ever had a tool fail it probably wouldn’t be worth repairing I only get the cheap stuff, Worx Ryobi and the like. What you do is an invaluable service to the trade, as the tools are their livelihood bringing in the bucks. I stumbled across some of your videos a few months ago and find myself totally absorbed in how you repair these machines. Keep up the good work sir.
100K subscribers. Keep up the excellent work to educate us. Thank you!
Congrats on the 100,000 subs. Love to watch your vids
Glad you like them! And thanks
Great machines, its smaller brother the GSH5 is equally robust.
Pedantic: The part you refer to as "Field" is called the stator (from static) and the part that rotates is the rotor. Strictly speaking the alternating magnetic field is what makes the rotor rotate and can be generated by both the stator and the rotor, where one of them can have a static magnetic field but at least one of them has to alternate for the rotor to move.
I used to use this Bosch hammer when I worked on site. For the abuse they take every day on site they are very hard wearing. 👍🏻nice video as usual mate.
Congrats on 100 thousand subscribers well deserved Thanks
Thank you very much!
Clearly a very well designed tool - but not driven hard & clearly cared for - it just needed you special care.
nice Job
Well done on reaching 100k subs Dean, keep her lit brother rabbit.
Thanks! Will do!
Congratulations Dean on 100k!
I have that age Bosch , used to drive 100's of chainlink posts.
Thanks 👍
Well done on the 100k subs.Well deserved.
I can watch these all day.!! Inspite of the tool abuse.!! Also I’m gonna buy you some disposable gloves.😂💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
Awesome job
Great video ,so educative and thorough
That 100k subscribers plaque is going to be great for testing the hammer drills on.
Congrats on the milestone mate 100k
are you washing your hands with kerosine ?
fantastic channel man, thank you for sharing
Yes, thanks
Bought a Bosch hammer drill heavy duty a pleasure to use and own
Nice job. Amazing to see all them parts come out. Then go back I. So fast nice job Dean.
Hi Dean, where is the best place to order Bosch parts? For their professional tools. Thanks
service kit comes with fitting diagram, so get rid of that right away😂😂
loved that part. your videos are awesome, thank you so much, greetings from the Netherlands.
Nice jobs again and gratz on the 100K!
As for the 300 Euro repair I'd say in this case get a new one since these are still for sale and that one would get you another 20 years of happy hammering, bearing in mind that the electrical parts (speed controller/field/armature) also have made their significant hours of labour, so chances are one of those might break down in the (near) future.
Blooody love this channel although im never going to have to fix any power tools unless one of mine goes bad but i doubt as they do very little work and are kept in good condition i still love watching you take the tools apart and put back together as i alway loved taking stuff to bits myself. Keep the content coming.
I would fixup the big expensive stuff but most proberbly throw out the stuff that would cost more to fix than replace.
I like the way you threw the diagram away.
I'd enlarge it and have it taped to the wall in front of me!
Fantastic video as usual 👍
We build decks in Canada... the majority of our daily tools are Bosch... rarely do they even need repairs. I don't know anyone else using them!
I always think you can't go wrong with most of the bosch and makita demolition hammers. I've been seeing them on sites for the last 30 years. They are good value industrial machines when you take into account the decades of use you can get out of them and the availability / price of spares.
I used to see a lot of Atlas Copco on sites, but not so much now. Do you get any of this brand in Ireland Dean ?
Excellent job Sir, keep up the great work!!!!!
Respect !I hope to see power for all tools series serviced(uneo max ,universal hammer drill 18v etc.
Congratulations on the 100k, Dean!🎉🎊🎆👍
I know you work primarily on professional machines and you recommend Makita and Bosch. I'm not a pro, but am interested in DIY. What brands would you recommend for a DIYer on a budget?
To answer your question though, if I was a pro and it was a fairly simple job I'd have a go myself after watching these videos. For anything more complex I would definitely get it looked at by someone like you before buying a new machine. Even paying the top quote of £300+ to get it back like new is better than paying more than double for a machine that probably isn't as well built as the "old" ones!😀
Estimado Dean, le pregunto:
Todas las piezas pequeñas de las herramientas que repara, sería conveniente ponerlas en una bandeja para que no se desparramen o caigan de la mesa y así trabajar más cómodo y sin riesgos?
Hago la pregunta porque sigo su canal y admiro su trabajo👍
Absolutely love your job
Mr.Doherty, any chance you could do a video on the top 5 most well built vintage power tools (in your opinion) ? Thanks
Hei Dean, love your vids, can you please recommend a good model of a jigsaw on makita platform? Thanks
hey dean question for you, that tool that you used to replace the bottom armature bearing. Is that just the threaded ring just tapped to thread in a screw to push the armature out, or is that an actuall bosch tool? thanks
What magic is that material in the broken yellow container you test the drill/hammers on? It appears indestructible! :)
I agrre with you its always been better to buy a good brand and repair when necessary. I repair every tool i have when i can becuase its cost so much less.when i need something new i go with used and or broken to repair.
Well done Dean 👍💯
The sound at 1:10:35 so nice.
I had one of these until someone decided they wanted the contents of my lock up! But yes very good
If buying a full kit of battery tools including circular saw, whats better, bosch or makita?
Would love to see a 1 to 1 comparison with a Hilti.
In my experience (working at a large electrical general contractor) Hilti machines are equal to Bosch or Makita in terms of robustness, reliability and longevity.
Now, Hilti may have longer lasting gearboxes, hammer mechanisms and probably higher grade battery packs but I dont think their machines are worth the premium.
Personally I hate Hilti vacuum cleaners they are crap, too bulky too heavy and they break all the time just had to work with one that had a cable fault and broken latches that was fun...
Also due to them not being round and having pretty large rollers the dust bucket is a absolute pig to empty out.
Hilti is not what they use to be. They are basicly a hire company now. Because of this they no longer need to make quality tools, as they keep fixing and replacing thier own tools.
And they now fail a lot, never buy a hilti tool outright. They are a rip off.
Plus hilti hammers have the red service light con job.
They have a built in timer, when they run for so many 100 hours, the red light comes on and they stop working. The machine will not run again until it is sent to hilti to reset the light.
They call it a service light, but once it comes on, you have to pay hilti to reset it regardless if the tool needs a service or not.
I'm surprised to see a nylon piston and rod in such an expensive machine. There must be some advantage to it over steel. Weight or flexibility perhaps. Great video.
Its actually stronger. It has a higher tensile strength, but even better is it dose not fatigue as much. So a reinforced plastic piston and striker rarely fail
@@deandohertygreaser Interesting. Thanks.
what type of grease do you use with your syringe please ? what NLGI grade ? Thank you
How did this tool end up with such sticky grease, do you think a previous owner took it upon himself and over greased it with the wrong weight grease.?
“The grease, the glorious grease !”
But when did it become yellow versus the off-white and / or tan we usually see in the syringe applicator ? Different product ? Thank you.
Great work lad keep dem comin
100K subscribers.
Nice one.
Qué tipo de grasa usas para el ensamble y la lubricación?
Why is there a difference between the grease in the big tubes and those little tubes?
I always buy the bigger ones and its a different colour and seems much more tacky.
I would buy a new opened box, with warranty, most tools are disposable. That 2nd hammer didn’t sound like the rpm’s were right, sounded weak.
I don’t know why,..but after watching you repair these tools,l had an overwhelming craving for banana custard,..Weird.
I could be wrong but I feel like using the brown grease on the needle bearings might not be a good idea. The eccentric gear crankshaft part was thin and so was the wrist pin. Going to be a lot of play.
Tansk you
Top man👍
You dont have gloves? 😂 keep up mage work! Very relaxing intresting video!
Hi Dean. Have you thought of a big pair of rubber gloves for parts washing because that kerosene is going to dissolve the oil in your skin and dermatitis when you retire would be awful to live with.
Thanks for the heads up. I actually do use gloves. I just don't wear them when filming the videos as it's difficult to work the touch screen with them.
I use my nose on touch screens when I'm wearing gloves
What do you think about hilti hammers?
Unless they are for industrial use and you plan to replace them every few years, I would not recommend them.
I find hilti hammers a con job for the normal trades man.
and the older ones like the TE72? @@deandohertygreaser
whats the best way to dry all the kerosene off? air hose?
Nice one
Amazing❤❤❤
220 euros is a no brainer vs 700 especially with everything you changed and all the work
The second hammer was Dean's ship of Theseus. Give it another decade and a few more visits - the only part left from the time of manufacturing will be the serial number sticker.
Or triggers broom 🤣
Don't think the 250 is too much for that much work and parts
Factoid: That Bosch grease is EXACTLY the same formula/composition as margarine, "I cannot believe they sell it as butter," Clover etc etc etc. The only slight difference is the Bosch butter is actually food grade. Tell 'em, Dean!!!!
That second one looks like it ate a lot more concrete dust than the first one since it's last service.
100k special episode when?
Could you use a large ultrasonic cleaner with kerosene for the cleaning
I haven’t got your trough for washing out grease - could I ask my wife to use the dishwasher indoors ? 😳
100 thou..👏👏👍
Regular Bosc bull dog#1 . Try to redrill a small hole larger.
And you will know why.
I'll have to disagree. The Hilti TE72. The most reliable breaker ever made that you can no longer buy.
i found on in the scrap and did a full overhaul.
Thanks! You give so much info in your videos. Love watching them. Have a drink on me.
