What Customers Are Saying

The tool is a powerful and versatile hammer drill that can handle a wide range of drilling tasks. Many users praise its performance, describing it as "awesome," "great," "powerful," and "easy to use."

Overall, the consensus is that this is a high-quality, heavy-duty tool that can tackle demanding jobs, but proper care and use are required for it to be a reliable and long-lasting investment.

I bought this drill 10/16/2025. I have drilled 2, 1/2 " into concrete. before I have the 2-hole drilled the drill was starting to become very hot. So, I let it cool down about 30 minutes and started drilling again. the drill started leak grease and would jump from hammer to S2.
