eddie1976 Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Love the impact bits. The impact driver can do most of what a homeowner needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnarlyCarl Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Jimbo! You're working way too hard on your 2712 SDS rotary hammer drill lol just push the bit in and turn it a little in the chuck and it will click right into place, don't even think about pulling back on the collar until you remove the bit LOL!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dwain Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 can the impact driver go anywhere close to keeping up with the M18 hammer drill with same bit size? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted August 24, 2016 Report Share Posted August 24, 2016 Speed on each of them surprised me. The old school option did better than I expected. The impact bits really look kick ass. I'm always amazed by how fast sds rotary hammers tunnel through concrete lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since we are on the subject of concrete, I watched the OTT videos on the 1" Fuel SDS and the Dewalt XR. Did you and Mike come away from those with a preference between the two or are they much the same? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 We reviewed them too far apart to say really. From someone elses comparison (Coptool maybe)? I think the Milwaukee is more powerful, Dewalt has longer runtime. Both were nice to use, Dewalt definitely smaller. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 Thanks Dwain, yes, from what I can find for paper specs the Dewalt is smaller and lighter, while the Milwaukee is more powerful. Hard to choose, though Milwaukee has a larger lineup of rotary hammers, both have an SDS Max coming. I don't know which company has a stronger history of concrete drilling; when I think concrete I usually think Bosch, maybe Makita. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted August 31, 2016 Report Share Posted August 31, 2016 I think Hilti and Bosch. But rotary hammers have been around long enough, I think that the others mentioned are pretty good at it too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HiltiWpg Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 Trouble is, Hilti think they're good at other stuff too [emoji6]Careful! My Hilti impact destroys my old M18 fuel, and the SF10W18A drill is a monster. The recip saw is good (I think it's a rebranded makita), the angle grinder is awesome, the circular saw is extremely well built. The hammer drill and dust extractor are ridiculous. I had the Fuel 1" prior, and although the rated impact energy is a little higher than the Hilti, it wasn't as good.

HiltiWpg Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 The trouble with Hilti, they have a too few tools. They have the worst lineup and limited selection. I would love to see a mini recip saw, a jigsaw, radio, a multitool, etc...Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bremon Posted September 1, 2016 Report Share Posted September 1, 2016 You're forgetting the other big problem most guys have with Hilti; how much of your paycheck they want in exchange for their solutions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
