Bosch GSH 16-28 Professional – Built for Extreme Demolition

The GSH 16-28 is not a conventional drill and should not be treated as one.

It is a dedicated heavy-duty breaker designed primarily for breaking concrete and stone. Its purpose is straightforward: deliver substantial impact energy directly into the material so that concrete, masonry and other hard substrates can be removed efficiently.

The machine produces 41 joules of impact energy from its 1,750 W motor. Bosch describes the GSH 16-28 as a high-performance breaker designed for high material removal rates and demanding applications.

For contractors, this distinction is important.

A conventional impact drill is designed primarily for drilling. A rotary hammer is designed for drilling and lighter chiselling. A dedicated breaker such as the GSH 16-28 is designed when the primary requirement is breaking and material removal.

That makes the GSH 16-28 particularly relevant for demanding demolition and renovation projects where using a smaller machine can result in slower production, increased operator fatigue and unnecessary wear on equipment.

41 J Impact Energy for High Material Removal

The standout feature of the Bosch GSH 16-28 is its 41 J impact energy.

Impact energy is one of the most important specifications to consider when comparing heavy-duty demolition equipment. It represents the energy delivered by each hammer blow and provides an indication of how aggressively the machine can attack hard materials.

With 41 J of impact energy, the GSH 16-28 is positioned firmly in the heavy-duty breaker category.

Combined with its 1,750 W rated input power, the machine is designed to deliver strong material removal performance during demanding concrete and stone breaking operations.

For professional contractors, that means the machine is better suited to applications where breaking speed and productivity are more important than compact size.

1,750 W Bosch Professional Motor

At the heart of the GSH 16-28 is a 1,750 W motor engineered for demanding breaker applications.

A powerful motor is essential in heavy demolition because the tool must repeatedly generate substantial impact energy while operating against highly resistant materials.

The GSH 16-28's motor works with its impact mechanism to produce 41 J of impact energy at an impact rate of approximately 1,280 blows per minute according to Bosch's current Kenya specification.

This combination makes the machine suitable for contractors who need a dedicated electric breaker rather than a multipurpose drilling machine.

1,280 BPM Impact Rate

The Bosch GSH 16-28 operates at an impact rate of approximately 1,280 blows per minute at rated speed.

The high-energy impact mechanism is designed to transfer powerful blows into the working surface, allowing the supplied chisel to break and remove concrete and stone.

The objective is not simply to produce a high number of impacts. Heavy demolition requires a balance between impact energy, machine durability, tool-holder design and operator control.

The GSH 16-28 combines these characteristics into a professional breaker platform designed for intensive construction use.

28 mm HEX Tool Holder

The Bosch GSH 16-28 uses a 28 mm HEX tool holder.

The 28 mm hexagonal tool interface is designed for heavy-duty chiselling applications and provides a robust connection between the breaker and its chisel.

The supplied configuration includes a 400 mm pointed chisel with a 28 mm hex shank, allowing the machine to be used for breaking applications immediately after setup.

For contractors, the HEX 28 mm system also makes it important to select compatible chisels and accessories designed for the machine.

Using the correct professional-grade chisel is critical to maintaining efficient impact transfer and protecting both the accessory and machine.

Bosch Vibration Control for More Comfortable Operation

Heavy demolition generates substantial vibration.

Bosch has equipped the GSH 16-28 with Vibration Control technology to help reduce vibration transmitted to the operator and improve handling during demanding work.

Bosch's published specification gives a vibration emission value of 12.3 m/s² for chiselling in concrete, with an uncertainty value of 1.5 m/s².

This does not eliminate vibration and should not be interpreted as permission to ignore occupational safety requirements. Operators should still use appropriate PPE, follow safe operating procedures and manage exposure time.

The practical advantage is that Bosch has designed the tool around the reality of heavy demolition: the machine needs to deliver high impact energy while remaining manageable enough for professional users.

Robust Metal Components for Heavy-Duty Construction

Construction sites are not controlled workshop environments.

Tools are transported between sites, placed on concrete floors, exposed to dust and used under demanding working conditions. A heavy-duty breaker therefore needs more than a powerful motor.

The GSH 16-28 features robust metal components designed for durability. Bosch specifically highlights its robust construction as one of the reasons for its suitability for demanding professional applications.

This makes the GSH 16-28 particularly suitable for contractors who expect equipment to remain productive across repeated projects rather than purchasing a machine for occasional domestic use.

Easy Manoeuvrability and Transport

At approximately 18.3 kg, the Bosch GSH 16-28 is a substantial professional machine.

That weight is not a disadvantage when viewed in the correct context. A breaker capable of producing 41 J of impact energy needs substantial mechanical components.

Bosch has therefore incorporated features designed to make handling and transportation more practical, including an auxiliary handle, carrying handle and trolley in this configuration.

The included trolley is particularly useful when transporting the machine around larger construction sites.

Instead of expecting the operator to carry the entire machine unnecessarily over long distances, the trolley provides a more practical way to move the equipment between work areas.

What Is Included with the Bosch GSH 16-28?

The Startcore configuration corresponds to Bosch's listed 0 611 335 000 variant.

The package includes:

• Bosch GSH 16-28 Professional Breaker
• 1 × pointed chisel, 28 mm HEX shank, 400 mm
• Trolley
• Auxiliary handle
• Grease tube
• Machine cloth
• Carrying handle

Bosch lists the pointed chisel under part number 2 608 690 106 and the trolley under 2 605 438 628.

This means the buyer receives more than the breaker body alone. The supplied transport and handling equipment is designed around the requirements of professional demolition work.

Bosch GSH 16-28 Applications

The GSH 16-28 is intended primarily for breaking concrete and stone. Bosch also states that the machine is compatible with the GDE hex Professional dust attachment.

Typical professional applications can include:

Concrete Breaking

Use the GSH 16-28 for heavy-duty concrete breaking where a dedicated breaker is more appropriate than a drill or rotary hammer.

Applications may include:

• Breaking concrete slabs
• Removing sections of concrete
• Renovation and alteration work
• Concrete demolition
• Removing old concrete structures
• Breaking hard concrete surfaces

Masonry and Stone

The high-impact mechanism can also be used for suitable stone and masonry breaking applications.

This can be useful during:

• Building renovation
• Masonry demolition
• Structural alteration
• Site preparation
• Removal of hard masonry sections

Construction Demolition

The GSH 16-28 can be deployed as part of a professional demolition setup for contractors handling:

• Building refurbishment
• Structural alterations
• Concrete removal
• Floor demolition
• Site preparation
• Civil construction work

The exact suitability of the machine depends on the material, thickness, reinforcement, access conditions and method statement for the project.

Bosch GSH 16-28 for Kenyan Contractors

Kenya's construction environment presents a mixture of residential, commercial, industrial and infrastructure projects.

Contractors working in Nairobi and across the country often need equipment capable of handling demanding concrete and masonry applications without relying on lightweight consumer tools.

The Bosch GSH 16-28 is suited to professional users who need a dedicated high-energy breaker for heavy demolition.

For contractors operating in areas such as Nairobi, Industrial Area, Westlands, Karen, Kilimani, Runda, Thika, Kiambu, Machakos, Kajiado, Nakuru, Mombasa and other parts of Kenya, selecting equipment based on the actual application is critical.

If the job involves occasional anchor holes, this is the wrong machine.

If the job involves heavy concrete breaking, however, using a dedicated breaker can make significantly more sense than trying to force a conventional drill or rotary hammer to perform work outside its intended duty.

GSH 16-28 vs Rotary Hammer: Which Should You Buy?

This is an important distinction for anyone searching for a Bosch demolition hammer in Kenya.

A rotary hammer such as the Bosch GBH 220 or Bosch GBH 2-24 DRE is designed to provide a combination of drilling and chiselling.

That makes a rotary hammer more versatile when the contractor needs to:

• Drill concrete
• Drill masonry
• Install anchors
• Drill holes for services
• Perform lighter chiselling

The GSH 16-28 is different.

It is a dedicated breaker.

If your primary task is heavy material removal, the GSH 16-28 is the more appropriate class of equipment.

Startcore also stocks Bosch rotary hammers for contractors whose work requires both drilling and lighter demolition. See our Bosch Power Tools range and the Bosch Power Tools Buying Guide for Kenyan Professionals.

Bosch GSH 16-28 vs Smaller Demolition Hammers

Not every demolition job requires a 41 J breaker.

This is where contractors need to be realistic about equipment selection.

If your daily work involves light wall chasing, tile removal, small masonry work or occasional chiselling, purchasing a machine of this size may be unnecessary.

But if your business regularly handles substantial concrete demolition, using a smaller tool simply because it is cheaper can become a false economy.

The right question is not:

“What is the cheapest breaker I can buy?”

The better question is:

“What machine gives my team the required production rate, durability and operating capability for the work we actually undertake?”

For heavy demolition, the GSH 16-28 is designed specifically for that requirement.

Genuine Bosch Professional Tools in Kenya

A major consideration when buying expensive power tools is authenticity.

The Kenyan power-tool market includes genuine professional equipment as well as counterfeit and grey-market products. With a machine costing more than KSh 200,000, buying solely on the lowest advertised price is a poor procurement strategy.

A counterfeit or incorrectly specified breaker can create problems with:

• Performance
• Reliability
• Accessory compatibility
• Serviceability
• Safety
• Warranty support
• Long-term operating costs

Startcore Ventures supplies genuine professional construction tools and equipment for contractors, procurement teams and businesses across Kenya.

Our wider Bosch range includes drilling machines, rotary hammers, angle grinders, saws, laser measures, accessories and consumables.

Bosch GSH 16-28 Maintenance

Heavy-duty equipment should be maintained properly.

Before using the GSH 16-28:

1. Inspect the power cable and plug.
2. Check the chisel for damage or excessive wear.
3. Confirm that the HEX tool holder is clean.
4. Ensure the accessory is correctly installed.
5. Check the machine for visible damage.
6. Confirm that the work area is clear.
7. Wear the appropriate PPE.
8. Follow the Bosch operating instructions.

The machine should also be lubricated and serviced according to the manufacturer's instructions.

The package includes a grease tube to support appropriate maintenance.

Do not operate a heavy breaker simply until it fails. Preventive maintenance can help reduce unexpected downtime and extend the useful life of professional equipment.

Safety When Using a Heavy-Duty Breaker

The GSH 16-28 is powerful construction equipment.

The 41 J impact energy that makes the machine productive also means it must be operated responsibly.

Operators should use suitable:

• Safety boots
• Safety glasses or face protection
• Hearing protection
• Work gloves where appropriate
• Dust protection appropriate to the material
• Protective clothing

The operator should also ensure that the work area is inspected before demolition begins.

Particular care is required when working around:

• Electrical cables
• Water pipes
• Gas services
• Structural reinforcement
• Structural walls
• Buried services
• Pressurised systems

Never assume that a wall, floor or slab is safe to break simply because it appears to be non-structural.

For professional demolition, follow the project's method statement and applicable occupational safety requirements.

Choosing the Correct Chisel

The GSH 16-28 uses a 28 mm HEX tool holder, so accessories need to be compatible with this interface.

The supplied pointed chisel is suitable for concentrated breaking action.

Different demolition applications may require different chisel geometries.

A pointed chisel is useful where concentrated impact is required.

A flat chisel can be more appropriate for certain material removal and surface-breaking applications.

The correct accessory depends on the material and desired result.

Using the correct chisel is not a minor detail. It directly affects productivity, control and accessory life.
