- Does it come with a battery?
- No. It ships as a bare tool with a side handle, so you need an M18 battery and charger.
- What is it best at, drilling or chipping?
- Both. The 5.1 ft-lb impact energy and 3,000 BPM make it capable for drilling large holes and light demolition in concrete.
- Is it too heavy for overhead work?
- It is about 12 lb before the battery, so overhead work is tiring. Many owners use it mainly for floor and wall work.
- What bits does it take?
- SDS Max bits only. It will not accept SDS Plus bits without an adapter, and adapters are not recommended for heavy drilling.
- How does it compare with the corded Milwaukee SDS Max hammer?
- It gives similar drilling performance without a cord, but continuous heavy chipping still favors the corded model for runtime.
- Which battery should I use?
- A high-capacity M18 RedLithium pack, such as a 9.0 Ah, gives the best runtime for chipping and large-bit drilling.
