Impressive work from the hammer drills but another advantage of SDS is it doesn't burn out drill bits so quickly. Also when you hit a concrete lintel the standard drill really struggles but the SDS goes through it like butter.
Just got the gen 3 m18 myself, always considered an sds but the sort of stuff I do it looks like I made the right decision. Again, another great video. Please please keep up the Milwaukee content!
Been really impressed with the m12 stuff, for my use they’ve been great, I’ve been pondering about the m12 sds but seeing this makes me think for my limited use the hammer drill will do!
Really wish you was a little further up north to visit the shop. Glad you got the Internet sorted to get the video uploaded today, keep up the epic work.
The biggest differences are all in favour of the SDS. The drill bits last much longer, the batteries last much longer, the SDS doesn't lose much power/speed when drilling a more difficult surface (the chuck drill loses a significant amount of speed when doing this) and the SDS does all of the work for you. Notice how hard the guy with the chuck drill had to work/push to make the drill even come close to the SDS. Image having to drill holes all day long, that would be a horrible day if you had the chuck drill.
Was a bit shocked at how well the m12 hammer drill did. You could see it struggling as the hole got deep though. Good for an odd bit where you need a hole in masonry, but if you are going to do it on the regular or need to go deep, then the rotary hammer is the way to go.
I recently bought a Gen 3 M13 Hammer Drill and had to drill a couple of 1/4” holes in a concrete wall, it performed perfectly. I had later wandered how much faster would it have been with the M18 SDS. You guys made this amazing video answering exactly that! I am astonished by the lack of different between the two when it comes time to use the smaller diameter masonry bits.
I do industrial maintenance so my gen 2 hammer been great !! I have spline available for larger jobs especially bc pre cast 18"-20" thick walls. Every day use = sds. Also reason I ordered one for the job box for the rest of maintenance guys :) bonus is still get sds bits in hammer drill lol
I think the larger the diameter bit, the more the SDS will shine. I've been using the regular hammerdrill for years for my tapcon installs, and it does perfect. But for sinking 3/8" anchors, I reach for the SDS every time. Also, the SDS can do demo work.
So much innuendo, don't know where to start 😹 But I will say I've always preferred SDS as anytime I used a regular masonry bit in a percussion drill, the chuck always loosened up. Curious your tip about reversing the chuck a tiny bit. Cheers!
As someone who works with SDS rotary hammer I will tell what’s the point of it: When you are up in a 10 foot ladder drilling horizontally over your head the hammer drill will do nothing for you
I have a whole m12 kit and a lot of the same in m18 as well... I honestly almost never touch my m18. M12 gets the job done superbly and is much lighter. But i'd still like a good excuse to get an m18 sds
Impressed with the M12 drill are they worth having one when you have M18 drill was thinking about getting an m12 drill for drilling holes in stumps for eco plugs 👌🌲 might have to get one now well done guys another wicked video
Love these videos just when your testing rather than racing to do 4 holes do 4 holes but one at a time to test the actual drill abit more rather than the user ? Just a suggestion love the vids!
How long would you guys say those bits last? Ive got a few jobs coming up which will require anchoring into sidewalk cement and im wondering how many bits ill need.. If anyone else has any input, itd be greatly appreciated. (I know that therre are many factors that come in to play regarding my question but anything helps) Cheers!
Fingers crossed for the next time there machineries are the best and they’re very friendly people if you struggling to find something you want they will find it for you 😎😎😎
This is the 5th tile project we've done where we've removed the old tile before installing new tile, and the first one with this tool ru-vid.comUgkxqqoaX03nrziKwF7Bjjcc71YzLEleMvOS . I want to cry for all the unnecessary work we've done in the past. With this tool, we removed tile surrounding a fireplace, as well as the hearth tile, set in loads of cement, in less than an hour. I highly recommend this tool. It was easy to use, and very satisfying watching the tile literally fall off the wall.
The chuck on my Gen 2 hammer drill doesn't sound right after drilling five holes on a sidewalk one day. It still works though. But definitely felt that vibration on the 3rd hole.
I agree with some of the other commenters that the two tools can be quite comparable in some basic stuff but when it comes to the weird situation where you’re going through steel decking with concrete and there’s rebar + a hard spot of aggregate, the drill will struggle but the hammer drill will handle it just fine.
No.. gentlemen. Yall need to be drilling into concrete SLABS. THATS A TRUE MEASURE OF STRENGTH, INNOVATION, & GRIT. DRILLIN random stray blocks is hardly a test
