Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Cordless BEAST! Beyond Capable—The Best Money I’ve Spent on a Tool - Let's not mince words: the DeWalt 20V MAX SDS+ Rotary Hammer (tool-only or kit) is a game-changer. I have used standard hammer drills for years, thinking they were "good enough." This tool proves that "good enough" is simply wasting time and effort. This rotary hammer is professional-grade power packed into a cordless form factor that is just phenomenal . Proof of Performance: It Kicked Ass on Brick I recently took on a big project building a porch and needed to anchor heavy support brackets directly into an old, tough brick foundation. This is usually a painstaking, vibration-heavy job. With the DeWalt SDS+ and a quality masonry bit, the process was lightning fast. I'm talking drilling perfect, clean holes into solid brick like it was soft wood. The entire mounting process, which I budgeted half a day for, was finished in less than an hour. The power delivery is controlled, yet relentless—it just chews through concrete, mortar, and brick effortlessly. 100% Worth the Investment Since that porch project, I've found a dozen reasons to pull this tool out. From setting concrete anchors for a new fence post to chipping away tile adhesive (using the chipping function), this tool handles it all. The cordless mobility is essential for jobsite use, and the vibration dampening is surprisingly good, meaning you can run it longer without hand fatigue. If you are a DIYer tackling serious masonry, or a professional looking for unmatched cordless drilling efficiency, this tool is 100% worth the price of admission. It performs well above its weight class and will make your toughest tasks feel ridiculously simple. Don't hesitate—buy this hammer.
Review: great drill - totally surprised by how well this hammer drill works. Cuts through 20 year old concrete with no trouble and is easy on batteries. I’ve drilled 10 5/16 holes, 3 inches deep with power to spare on a 4 amp hour battery. The weight is also lighter then other drills, a plus when drilling walls.
