The DeWalt 20v SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer is a wickedly handy too to have on hand. I have a 21lb SDS-Max jackhammer and a DW 20v hammer drill and have long wished I had something between the two. This rotary hammer fits the bill almost perfectly. It is an easy layout and offers drilling, percussive drilling, and chipping hammer. It's easy to hold horizontally or above one's shoulders, and - probably most importantly - it's cordless. There are two major points I'd draw your attention to. The first is a negative: since the tool is a drill it is, necessarily, variable speed; the downside to this is that you end up with a variable speed chipping hammer, which takes a lot of getting used to. If you aren't used to jackhammers this may not be an issue but for me at least it's ... MoreThe DeWalt 20v SDS-Plus Rotary Hammer is a wickedly handy too to have on hand.

The second point is the price: since the other DW 20v rotary hammer is lightweight and somewhat compact they sell this one for a song.

I've tried everything from the wee 1.5ah batteries to the 5ah batteries, and none of them can be inserted into the rotary hammer. 1.5,2,4, and 5 all exhibit the same issue. I checked the battery slides for maybe some flashing sticking up, but nothing. It appears the battery mounting slides may be out of spec. I could force a battery into place, but a few times of doing that will surely split the rails off either the battery or the tool.Also, when I opened the box the entire tool was covered in a layer of oil. I'm used to having to wipe down some of the metal bits which are often covered in a protective layer of oil or grease as a moisture barrier, but in this case the whole tool... plastic bits and rubber grip alike, were covered in a heavy layer of oil. Is this ... MoreI've tried everything from the wee 1.5ah batteries to the 5ah batteries, and none of them can be inserted into the rotary hammer. 1.5,2,4, and 5 all exhibit the same issue.

Is this an indication that the tool is leaking? Dunno. I surely don't want to keep it and find out it's only going to fail prematurely. As if I could! Being unable to insert a batter pretty much guarantees it would last forever!Poor QA checks, Dewalt. :-(

Rotary hammer drill drilled extremely fast into brick. I was installing a tv wall mount onto a masonry brick wall. Spacing for the mounting holes required drilling into the brick. Initially tried with my 1/2” chorded drill with a conventional 3/8” masonry bit with little to no progress into the brick. Not sure how long it would have taken me. Brick layers had said when building an add-on that the brick were really hard to cut. Instead of putting $50 to $60 dollars into a rental and I’ve had other projects that I could have used one, I decided to purchase the XR 20volt SDS hammer drill. Drilling a 3/8” hole with it was extremely fast compared to conventional drill ie, less than a minute. Battery power - 5 amp hr -was a non issue, albeit, I didn’t have to drill a lot ... MoreRotary hammer drill drilled extremely fast into brick.

I feel for my few home projects it will do fine. quality built and easy to handle. I would definitely recommend for DIY projects and probably would do well on light construction.

I needed to install six "No Dig 4-in x 4-in Powder-Coated Wood To Steel Bases" (Lowe's Item # 53421 Model # 832685O) onto concrete slabs, which required drilling 24 holes 3/8" x 3-1/2" into the slabs. I bought a good masonry bit (Tapcon 3/8-in x 8-in Carbide Masonry Drill Bit for SDS-Plus Drill; Lowe's Item # 773193 Model # 11494) and attached it to my trusty, 19-year-old Craftsman 1/2" hammer drill. Well, I worked on the holes for the first base for about an hour, and only got 3 of the holes completely drilled, and the 4th hole halfway, before I quit.So I did some research on the web and learned about rotary hammer drills.

I already own four DeWalt 20V tools -- very satisfied with them all -- so I purchased this drill, despite some reservations based on the 1-star review posted on 6/11/2019). I also picked up a 2nd bit, just in case I had already worn out the first one.I loaded the first bit into the DeWalt drill, took a deep breath, and started work on the holes for the 2nd base. To my amazement, I had drilled the first hole in about 30 seconds! It took me less time to drill the remaining 20 holes than it did to drill the first 4 with my old drill. All using the same bit, all on less than a single battery charge (20V Max XR 4 amp). Whenever I encountered a hard spot, I just switched the drill to hammer mode, worked the spot for a few seconds, then returned to hammer drill mode, and finished the hole. (The drill has 3 modes: rotary drill, rotary hammer drill and non-rotary hammer).I'm extremely satisfied with this purchase, and wish I had bought it sooner!
I have two larger corded SDS plus hammers and a corded SDS Max, so I was hesitant to purchase a 20v version because of the sheer power needed for the things you do with these. However, I had a situation come up where I needed cordless (generator in the shop and no power at site), so I purchased this unit, and man was I surprised. While I wouldn’t use for something suited to a much larger tool, it is powerful, and the hammer action is very aggressive. It has become my go-to tool for drilling small holes in concrete, which I must do surprisingly often, because of the convenience and because it does every bit as good a job as my small corded one. If you are still using a hammer drill, get one of these. If you have large corded SDS units, this is also a good supplement, ... MoreI have two larger corded SDS plus hammers and a corded SDS Max, so I was hesitant to purchase a 20v version because of the sheer power needed for the things you do with these.

Be ready with batteries, though, as it drains batteries like it chews through concrete… fast. Flexvolt are best. The pictures are of a 3/8 threaded rod through a 12” thick block and brick wall and the slab bolts on my new Toughsystem racks.
I have a 60v version. The largest one this site was selling. But the SDS Max Is just too big or heavy for certain jobs. Like peeling plaster off lath above your head. So I went ahead and ordered this.. Obviously I can peel a whole wall in a few minutes like I was with his big brother. Although I still feel like it does a decent job for being so small and light. With a little patience it gets the job done. I also use it for drilling any masonry that requires less than a 1/2 hole. I'm sure it will handle larger holes but I have not tried. I really think for most people's needs this will get the job done. That being said I just removed 900 sq feet of tile. I would say you need a much larger rotary and I recommend the 60v for serious contactors. I did however use this ... MoreI have a 60v version. The largest one this site was selling.

I did however use this guy to clean up the edges and little stuff that was left behind.I did not use the depth gauge yet. So I cannot comment on how well it holds in place. As stated in other reviews. I'll try it out soon and update this if I remember.
Really enjoyed the tool, it was smaller than I expected but still very powerful and easy to use. I mostly used the hammer setting to remove tile from a small bathroom. Very easy to use and very little fatigue which I’m sure it has to do with the size. If you’re looking to do big areas with tiles than I highly recommend upgrading to a hammer drill that accepts SDS Max bits. It’ll make it so much easier!
I used this tool to break up underground rocks for installing t-posts (paired with a 30 inch bit). It worked great for that purpose for the most part. Plenty of power. I also appreciate that it has three modes (drill only, hammer and drill, and hammer only). The downside is that this tool is power hungry and eats through batteries. For example, I was able to drill only one hole per battery amp hour (i.e., a 6 amp hour battery lasted me six holes). That was a bit of a headache since I ate through many batteries very quickly
I just got this email asking for another review, so here goes.First of all know, be advised that this is SDS-Plus, not SDS-Max as the description says.Second - If you are doing demolition on Lath and Plaster, this is a great option. I have a 1 inch dowel I use to pry the lath and plaster away from the Studs, and I use this as the persuaider to get the things that give me trouble.The Chip fetting on this seesntually makes it a mini jack hammer, and it's feirce.Good luck.
I bought this as I needed to drill 15 5/8 inch x 8 inch hole into concrete to set anchors for my shed. This drill did an amazing job and quick job. It probably only took 30-60 seconds to drill each hole and almost made the job enjoyable!!! I was using 6AH XR battery and I was able to do about 12 holes before the battery gave out and needed to be recharged. I think if you are doing a decent sized job and are drilling more than a few small holes, I wouldn't want to use anything less than a 4AH battery with this tool.I was also looking at the Dewalt DCH273 but couldn't figure out why that tool is $130 more and is less powerful then this DCH133. This tool will get the job done with ease and if you are already in the Dewalt tool battery family it's almost a no brainer!!
