Tool works great! Quieter than expected and hammers ¹/⁴” holes fairly quickly. Can’t comment on longevity as have only had/used tool for month but sure is nice being totally cordless..

Milwaukee certainly has their stuff together. Not only do they have quality tools for the blue collar workforce, they have made them more affordable, more durable & more dependable making them a leader in the tool market. I do a lot of stonework but I honestly have not done a heavy duty daily beating with this drill…I just have not had it that long, but when I need to tap into concrete, I am certain I have a trusty rotary that I can rely on and not worry about an extension cord or a generator for that matter…this is all based on my experience with a good number of Milwaukee products including the M12 rotary. Since it’s difficult to find someone to do action videos, I took a few short videos with my phone to show what it can do with 60 year old, hard as all get out concrete with one of Milwaukee’s 3/16 in. x 7 in. SDS plus rotary hammer drill bits with 5/6 in. hex drive for concrete screws (Milwaukee Concrete Screw SDS Bit Installation Kit – Model # 48-20-7497) and drilled a bunch of 2 inch deep holes using 1/8-1/4 charge. You will see that one full charge with this rotary hammer will yield quite a good number of 3/16 inch holes (it’s rated up to a 5/8 inch hole but you can expect to get less holes in comparison due to increased size) and with an extra battery (yes, you will need that extension cord or generator), you can alternate charge intervals and continue work without the pesky extension cord while on a ladder and what not. This rotary hammer is powerful and compared to my M12 SDS rotary hammer, it can kick some hard concrete as though you were drilling through an oak board. With what little bit of experience I have had the opportunity with this awesome rotary hammer, I can say that I would highly recommend it every day of the week to those whom could use one in their daily workload. It’s great for those applications like attaching wire lath for foundation stonework, deck installations where ledgers need attached to concrete foundation walls, electrical installations where you must attach to concrete, drop ceiling installations where you need to attached your eye lags into the concrete deck above and the list could go on and on…it’s just that good. It’s not near as heavy as corded versions I have used and is as great if not better than some of the higher-end brand rotary hammers. It’s well balanced one handed, has a metal depth gauge, battery charge indicator and drills with the same power all the way through the last hole when the battery is discharged…it also has a straight drilling function too with a twist of the switch. I am not biased in any way, these Milwaukee tools are genuinely great, dependable tools. The tools support the company by being “nothing but HEAVY DUTY”

For quick jobs time is money.Not needing to roll out a cord looking for power and rolling the cord back up, that’s time finishing the job.

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.

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.
