...used the DeWalt battery hammer drill, was less than impressed, expected more from DeWalt . Rate it a 3 out of 10

Dewalt has never made a good cordless SDS. We had some 24v ones that ate batteries like no tomorrow.

I would not take it for free, it was that bad. I am only drilling 1/2" holes for 3/8" drop ins, frustrating using junk tools.

Hilti is the brand of choice, the best hammer tool in the business.

I love my ryobi 18v sds. Just finished a block gym. It got lots of use.

I stopped using Dewalt years ago over priced and don't hold up.

DeWalt battery drill is decent IMO, I would say one of the top three out there

Disappointed, I thought this was a thread about 480Sparky

I don't think anyone makes a great cordless SDS. I'm partial to my corded Bosch bulldog, 222 something or other model number.

Any cordless sds that did the job in a timely fashion is better than a corded one.

My cordless Hilti TE30-A36 combihammer drill is about the best I've ever used for major work but the Milwaukee M28 1" cordless rotary hammer will do the job but I find it chews up batteries very quickly.

The big difference is the Hilti was almost $1900.00 to buy and the Milwaukee was right around $500.00

Real good stuff !

Mines old now, but just keeps going and going.
New battery every couple of years.
Good stuff !

you've never used a Hilti than, because it is just as fast as a corded

I've been using the M18 hammer drill for almost 3 years now,the cluch is now slipping from drill 1" auger holes in studs,instead of breaking out the super hole hog...:laughing:

I would buy another one if they still made them but I don't think they make them anymore.

Hilti are unbeatable when it comes to concrete drilling

I love the corded hiltis we have on our jobs, complete monsters. we have 2-3 on each site.

I have an 18v makita, I don't find it very powerful but the battery life impresses me. i love my makita impact driver. I'm hoping to get another 2 years out of them and I'll try something else

Mine was great until I chipped a tooth off the gear.
Then it became a great hammer drill.

Right here. I use my bulldog all the time unless it's less than a dozen holes. The hammer only function is awesome when you need it

Tried out the 36v hilti with the dust extraction kit, worked awesome! Borrowed from sprinkler company doing work at the job site for a little bit. It is their company policy that they can only use hammer drills that have dust extraction systems.

90% of sds use is 1/4" and 3/8" anchors for me. I Can go all day mounting boxes and panels and strapping emt on 1-2 batteries. And that's with a $99 ryobi. How can that not be anything less than fantabulous.
