I just bought a Bosch SDS hammer drill, and I assumed the aux handle is meant to be used in the bottom position. So glad I saw this vid, thank you!

Brilliant advice potentially saving someone injury.

[@Hezzmana]

Thanks for the tips. I am off work now with a broken finger from a hammer drill kickback, was not using the forward handle at all. Good video, will reference it at work.

[@mailstr2958]

Absolutely important advice, indeed! I know how dangerous a drill kickback can be. Nevertheless, I have not realized that proper positioning of the handle makes the difference. Perfect explanation. Thank you so much!

This left handed DIYr says thank you 🙏 nice to get some recognition for once 🤩

great video

[@theyhatekath]

Wow I bought a drill and didn't know this thank you

[@hernandomunoz1726]

Thank you very much for the tip. Last time I almost broke my wrist.

[@richerite]

Very concisely explained, thank you

[@drnovikov]

Thank you! Looks like I've been holding my rotary hammer incorrectly all the time.

[@Harolddespui]

So how the machine comes out of the box it's basically fine for left handers. Injuries amoung left handers would be less frequently then.

thanks, I didnt know it despite using it for 20 years

[@pleappleappleap]

I made this mistake in 2013. Spiral fracture of the right hand. Two surgeries later...

nioce demonstration,,that's why I always hurt my arms,hands while I use the rotary hammer.

[@garthqueen]

Surely if the drill jams it will follow the clockwise rotation of the bit,not the other way round?

[@dukerpal5645]

The drill rotates in the opposite direction to that of the drill bit

[@Ranashaltout1]

very useful.. thank you so much

[@DEXTER941]

Interesting, thanks

[@mauort6870]

I had no idea you could get hurt that way..thanks!

[@sentosutradhor7620]

if I'm drill in wall that what mode can I use?

[@dukerpal5645]

Well, I know it's a 3 yrs old comment. But since no one gave a reply, I will. Use rotation mode to drill into wood, metal, plastic, etc. Use hammer and rotation mode to drill into concrete, brick walls. Use chisel mode (hammer only) for chiselling..

[@barakau]

Damn. All this time I never knew the handle was placed incorrectly

meanwhile in the real world .......
