Hugh Jass Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 I still haven't had the opportunity to test the SDS more guys sorry, wrapping up two large projects that are in the finish stage. I did run about 15 tapcons with the 5/32" bits. This thing will sink that 6.5" Makita drill bit (bought a box on Amazon for dirt cheap) in roughly 3-4 seconds in old hard concrete. The thing is a monster guys. I gave it to my partner to run a few himself and he was thoroughly impressed from a short test too, I didn't even mention how fast I thought it was and it was the first thing he said after drilling a few holes so there's another subjective account. Bad. Ass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tug Posted May 19, 2017 Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 How's your runtime? I'm quite impressed with my 54 Volt so far, especially as they're only 2ah. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugh Jass Posted May 19, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2017 So far it's what I would expect from a high energy tool. I'll need more testing to be sure, but even if it's not the best in runtime to swap a battery is easy as long as it's doing all the work. I'm a proponent of more power in sacrifice of runtime in certain tools. Many disagree, but it depends on the tool as well. For anyone who has flexvolt 9ah to drop on this thing would be very satisfied I think (I only have 5's right now). I'm sure there'd be a performance boost from the bigger batteries with updated cells over the 5ah as well. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me why they've done this, I have no idea. Model DCH333. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't ask me why they've done this, I have no idea. Model DCH333. That one is actually available at this time but ive still to invest in the flexvolt range. With some tools running out of warranty i might sell them off and upgrade though. Thanks for the review 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugh Jass Posted June 12, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 12, 2017 I think he's confusing series and parallel, you're either one or the other with 2 batteries, would need 4 for both. So I spent a few hours with this bad boy today chipping stucco and drilling tapcons for a replacement hurricane sliding glass door. I no longer need validation for this tool to prove it's self, it drills and chips like a champion and it does it so effortlessly and ergonomically (the AVT on this SDS is the best I've ever experienced on any tool). I've not yet used it to drill any large diameter holes but I have a feeling it'll be more than sufficient. Everyone that I've let use it can't believe how sweet it is. It cooks with thermite. I think over the next few months it's going to make a run at dethroning some of my favorite tools ever. Hopefully the HEPA attachment is released soon. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a dch293 here in Australia, a buddy sent one over from the US for me. I thought it was a better choice over the 54v sds plus we get in Australia. The dch293 is definitely the quickest 20v max/18v rotary on the market at the moment. It's doesn't get know near as hot as the 2715. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kicker is runtime...and Dewalt is being mindful of that because of the dust extraction piggy backing the battery, which actually makes a lot of sense. Fuel doesn't have that and for working in finished spaces that you don't want to completely douche, it's a deal maker. If you took the Fuel and popped a piggy back system on it with the output it has, you'd likely get only half as many holes per amp hour as Dewalt can accomplish. It's valid statistics but unfair comparison if you're in the market for the dust extraction. Like this? .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrosBros82 Posted July 2, 2017 Report Share Posted July 2, 2017 Kinda on the topic... the company where I work does lots of hospital work.... so they are going with dust extraction for all hammer drills... they even like the Fuel M12 one for small overhead drilling.

Honestly, that's the name of the game... and it's not for everyone. Like the job is a lot more cleaning, making temp barriers, PR work, etc. than actual "building". The new construction was fun, but the remodel stinks. It is a constant battle dealing with the hospital and their schedule. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Framer joe Posted July 8, 2017 Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 Politics man.....comes with the territory. But actually keeping your jobsite clean everyday enhances productivity and definitely safety....we clean up twice a day..before lunch and at the end of the day.........you actually get more work by looking clean and organized....
