Getting back into the plumbing field I was considering replacing several of my power tools. I found this SDS rotary hammer. I have drill several 4” holes using the 4” core bit and used it for chipping out several concrete cutouts for laying pipe under a concrete slab. It has a good weight and is not as fatiguing as other ones I have used. Be sure to use the lubrication provided it helps. I believe I will be getting a lot of use out of it. I recommend this rotary hammer.

Lots of power for the price. A little heavy, but when removing tile or drilling large holes the eight can help

Easy to use for medium projects, no to heavy for the side

I was trying to using a friend’s SDS-PLUS rotary hammer to break up some buried concrete around some broken fence posts that I wanted replace, and the going was tedious at best. Oh, what a difference this SDS-MAX rotary hammer makes! It broke up the concrete quickly and easily. It also drills into concrete easily and within a few seconds. Note that I used a 1 in. x 16 in. R-Tec Hammer Steel SDS-MAX Star Point Self-Sharpening Chisel Twist, which I also ordered from Home Depot, for both breaking up and drilling the concrete. SDS-PLUS is ok for smaller jobs, but for anything of scale I’d definitely recommend this SDS-MAX drill.

Milwaukee 1 9/16″ SDS-Max Rotary Hammer…Worked on two separate job sites….three different days…. both as a drill and as an impact hammer….the crew came to me and I was informed how pleased they were with the tool performance.Thank You.

Hated that I had to change to the bigger shank bits , all my concrete bits are the smaller shank size will not fit this hammer drill. I believe the smallest size drillbit that is offered is 3/8 in the larger shank that will fit this drill. It does great with concrete demo using minimum effort, but if you’re currently using a smaller style hammer drill be prepared to invest money in changing your bits. $18.00-$50.00 a bit no joke it adds up

This Milwaukee 1-9/16 rotary hammer drill is one of the most productive but even more importantly, a cost efficient hammer drill current sold on the open market. If you are frustrated wasting time drilling holes in masonry, cured concrete, or just need a mild demolition hammer this one tool will fit these needs. My brother-in-law has the spline version (Milwaukee #5316) of this tool which has paid for itself time and time again. I have shamelessly borrowed his Milwaukee Spline Rotary Hammer more times than I care to mention. Quarter-inch through 1/2-inch electric hand drills and even the 1/2-inch hand held hammer drills are always ill suited for drilling through cured concrete. This rotary hammer drill is specifically designed for drilling in exterior cured concrete. Takes just seconds to accomplish with the appropriate sized diameter SDS bit. Using a carbide tipped 5/8-inch SDS bit (along with 5/8-inch lag bolt anchors) I can now effortlessly drill hole after hole even in hardened “cured” concrete in a matter of seconds to install security doors and security bars. This tool will pay for itself in both time and money after a few of these tasks are completed. I install both security doors and window security guards on a part time basis and the hardest part of the job is accurately pre-drilling then installing anchors. Once this most difficult part is completed with this rotary hammer lag bolts go in quickly with just a 1/2-inch ratchet and socket. I especially like the fact it uses the less expensive SDS drill bits versus the more cost prohibitive spline bits. Making this a more compelling cost effective reason to purchase this version is Milwaukee also sells a “SDS to Spline” adapter which is a must have accessory because spline bits are more stout/stronger especially as you drill larger sized holes.This Milwaukee rotary hammer can be set to “hammer only” or “hammer with rotation” which allows the tool to aggressive chip materials versus drill. Tool comes in it’s own blow molded case along with a configurable handle for either right or left handed use.

We needed to do considerable concrete anchor installation, and the battery powered hammer drill just wasn’t up to the task. The SDS-MAX hammer is a beast! It IS heavy so take that into consideration. it DOES take different bits, and we wound up having to order them on-line. It IS electric so be sure you have the heavy duty extension cords to reach (we had to stretch out 100′ feet of HD extension cord). That’s the downfall of electric tools. As DYIer’s, we don’t have a portable generator. This is one power tool we’ll definitely keep on the “go to” list for those hard jobs. Our grown kids are already asking to borrow it after seeing how well it performed.

I know this product is not made for tile demo in particular. But this tool packs a punch and can withstand a beating. I had my guys use it to tear up ~250Sqft of tile on kitchen floor. Performed great! Has much power and durability. I recommend this for relatively small jobs. under 600 – 700 SF – we also used It to remove some concrete. Using the right tips makes a difference.

I was going to get an SDS Plus drill but decided to get this one instead. SDS Max. Works good. Did the job. Was having an issue with hammering. It would just drill. But once started it ate the concrete up. Either it was too hot or not warmed up etc. Not sure.

I used this to remove tile flooring and it was fast. I even found an accessory that did not damage the plywood underneath the tile. Nice tool.

This Milwaukee SDS MAX model 5317-21 is a good hard-working tool. I have used a Hilti and a Bosch in the past. The Milwaukee is a heavier than the Bosch or a Dewalt in comparing same size 1 9/16” model or amperage. The Milwaukee did perform great on two different days or applications. First was used for chipping the blowout of concrete on a slab for installing underground rain gutter next to a house prior to pouring walkways. Bits used was a bullet point and a one-inch chisel. The job went very quick. Second day use was to install grounding rod which worked great or easily with no issues. The Milwaukee does include a thick plastic carrying case and there is plenty of room to store additional bits, chisels, and even a clay spade. I did compare the Milwaukee on the same job with a Dewalt SDS (non MAX) version for the same function and comparison. The Milwaukee SDS MAX was much faster than the standard SDS. Although several pounds heavier it noticeably hits harder and shortens the work time.
