Great hammer drill. Not quite as powerful as corded model so if you have old concrete and need big holes this isn’t the tool but for smaller holes in any concrete this tool is awesome

The first thing that struck me about this rotary hammer is just how light weight it is. Don’t let that fool you, this is one powerful cordless tool. I drilled 32 1/2 inch holes in a concrete floor, 8 inches deep, and the battery still showed a half charge. The drill does not have any form of vibration reduction, which is understandable given the price point and weight. This is the perfect tool for drilling overhead, it only weighs a little over 5 lbs!The quick release SDS chuck allows you to quickly change bits just by pulling on the chuck to release the bit.Forward and reverse selection is on the handle, right next to the trigger. This hammer drill can be used as a regular drill, or as a hammer drill. It cannot be used in hammer only mode without rotation (so you can’t use it to chip tile for example).A depth rod is included, and the handle can be rotated to any position.With the battery attached, the drill feels well balanced. The rubberized grip prevents unwanted movement.Plenty of power, a long runtime, and all in a lightweight form factor. Very nice.

OVERALL:Very lightweight and easy to maneuver. If you are used to an SDS Max Rotary Hammer, this will feel like a electric drill in your hand. Surprising power for it’s size. Part of a great series of tools with interchangeable and powerful batteriesCONTROLS:Simple and obvious. The extra hand hold is just a twist to lock. The forward and back and drill vs hammer/drill are pictures. The depth adjustment is just press down and move, locks well. The pull back chuck makes it easy to change bits on the fly, and keeps the drill well clean.EXTRAS:The LED light that comes on as soon as you press the trigger is a great feature of this series.PERFORMANCE:Great power, like my other M18 tools, power seems incredible for a cordless. Easy to squeeze into tight spaces. Milwaukee has short and long bits that give you some versatility. Do miss the my impact absorbing handle on my SDS Max, and would love hammer only mode,but if you have an SDS Max, you can live without it.

Very nice hammer drill set from Milwaukee. The set comes complete with a high capacity battery and charger. We purchased the Milwaukee 5-piece SDS carbide bit set (pictured) to go with this drill. Home Depot carries this set on-line and can be shipped to store.The hammer drill had no problem driving the 1/2″ bit into concrete.

This an excellent drill as with all Milwaukee products. What sets this one apart is the ergonomics. The grip aligns your thrust with the drill bit axis. This creates little or no pressure on your wrist creating less fatigue an less chance of tennis elbow from using a drill all day.I use this drill to put in tap-cons in masonry all day and it does it well. Its also lighter because you don’t have the chuck. I have not tried it yet with larger bit. It did not have any trouble with poured concrete or block. Its great addition to your set if you need a hammer drill.

I already own several Milwaukee M18 tools, so I decided to pick this up after struggling to drill holes in a brick wall with my regular drill & masonry bit. It worked, but it took much longer and was burning out the bits fairly quickly. This tool handled them with ease. I drilled 100 plus, 3/8″ inch holes on a single charge with no problems.If this is your first rotary hammer drill, one thing to keep in mind that the “SDS-Plus” refers to the style of chuck. Unfortunately, this means your old/traditional style masonry bits probably wont work. They need to be SDS-Plus bits in order to fit this tool. However, don’t let that scare you. It’s is actually quite nice, as it allows for an easy quick-change style, instead of having to twist the chuck tight like on a traditional drill. They just pop in and out, very easy. This does mean you’ll probably need to replace your existing masonry bits with the SDS-Plus style, but they are quite affordable. A set of 5 in various sizes was only $20.
