DEWALT 8.5-Amp SDS-Plus Corded Rotary Hammer Drill & 7-Piece Set x Set Carbide Masonry Drill Bit Set for Hammer Drill

Heavy duty & it gets the job done!

I bought this item for my husband’s birthday. He is a welder & stated that he really likes this item when he is drilling or ankling his custom build rails down. This tool is sturdy & right on time.

Great tool

Used in a project to build a small concrete block wall - would recommend works great and is perfect addition to our home tool collection. Easy to use.

Where are the special bits for this Hammer Drill?

I bought this Hammer drill for a some light drilling in concrete. None of my concrete drill bits would work here So I ordered some Dewalt hammer drill bits that also did not work on this drill. So I googled it and apparently the bits for this drill have grooves that slide and lock in as there is no chuck to tighten. BUT, I could not find any of the drill bits needed on this web sight or at the local Lowes store. Confused and frustrated I returned it and ordered one with a chuck. Probably a gr...

Work Horse of a drill

This hammer drill is a work course. It drilled through concrete like it was butter. Highly recommend for heavy duty drill work.

did what it was supposed to do.

functioned well to drill through the concrete wall. Did not bog down and completed task quickly. Easy to handle and vibration resistant handle did not cause early forearm fatigue. Would hightly recommend.

Weak, Dissappointing, Returning

Had great hopes this would eat though this thick patio type tile in my older home but it doesn't budge it. Barely even chipped the tile and for sure wasnt going to get it off the floor. The tile pieces are 4x6 and glued directly to the subfloor with 1/2 inch grout lines in a square pattern.

Great product, reasonable price.

This drill does what I would expect from the product. It seems to be well built and durable. Has more than enough power. The only downside I can see is that it is double insulated and therefore would not work with an emergency stop device to halt the drill if a bit hits a water pipe in a foundation for example.

Dewalt shocks system great for productivity

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have had and used several rotary hammers over the years from different manufactures, all of which did a good job of drilling holes in concrete. The Dewalt D-Handle SDS+ 1-1/8 Rotary Hammer is a step above all the rest in a couple ways. For general use drilling holes in masonry, it did an excellent job, not unlike many I have used in the past. What sets it above those however is the shocks system. The vibration (or lack thereof) was a night an...

Happy with purchase

I bought this a couple weeks ago. I was building a wood mantel for my natural stone fireplace. I need to secure it and my regular drill felt like it was taking forever. I like to have lots of tools so I bought it. It was so much faster and easier to drill holes to mount the mantel. Seriously like night and day difference. I also bought a variety of attachments as it does more than just drill marvelous holes in rock hard surfaces. Now I am trying to figure out what projects I can do just to use ...

Bosch bulldog vs Dewalt SDS

I bought this to sink 6" anchors into a slab with heavy aggregate, took 15.4 sec to drill a 6 and a half inch hole 3/8 of an inch wide with the Dewalt SDS. The Bosch bulldog took 27.4 sec for the same sizehole, I also noticed the bosch seemed to bog down twords the bottom of the hole, where the dewalt didn't hesitate. Its also worth noting the Bosch is much heavier and feels sturdier but the forward and reverse switch is incredibly cheap plastic. dewalt feels lighter but does the job in almost h...
