Spent $180 on a used rotary hammer for one job and it's paid for itself twice

I bought a used Bosch rotary hammer off a guy in Fremont for $180 back in March because I had to anchor a bunch of shelving into old block walls for a restaurant buildout. I figured it would die halfway through and I'd be out the money, but that thing chewed through 60 holes like it was nothing and I've used it on four jobs since. The bit set cost me another $40 but the bits are still sharp. Honestly the only downside is the cord is short so I'm dragging an extension around everywhere. Anybody got a recommendation for a good cordless one, or should I just keep running this until it gives out?
