- Is this a good choice over a corded SDS-max hammer?
- Yes for most site work. It delivers 5 ft-lbs of impact energy and drills up to 1-9/16 in, close to corded models, without a cord. Corded hammers still win for all-day overhead chipping where weight matters.
- What is included in the kit?
- The kit includes the rotary hammer, one 9.0Ah 18V battery, a charger and a carrying case. Bits are not included.
- Can it run core bits?
- Yes. It accepts core bits up to 4 in, which covers most conduit and pipe openings.
- Does it work with other Milwaukee 18V batteries?
- Yes. It runs on any Milwaukee M18 battery, though the included 9.0Ah pack gives the longest runtime for heavy drilling.
- How heavy is it for overhead work?
- It weighs 14.8 lb with the battery, so overhead chipping gets tiring. Many owners use it mainly for horizontal drilling and floor-level work.
- What bit type does it take?
- It uses SDS-max bits, not the smaller SDS-plus. SDS-max tooling is larger and more expensive but handles bigger holes.
