DR99 Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I want to bite the bullet and get a sds drill. The big 1 1/8" big boy or would you go with the smaller 1"? It's only 50 dollars more for the big one. I might get the M12 fuel down the road possibly so weight isn't a huge concern. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-1-1-8-in-SDS-Plus-Rotary-Hammer-Tool-Only-2715-20/205563079 http://www.homedepot.com/p/Milwaukee-M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-1-in-SDS-Plus-Rotary-Hammer-2712-20/205334546 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NERemodeling Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 I would say go with the 1 1/8. That way you will never regret not going bigger.. based off the depot specs the 1 1/8 has almost twice the impact energy of the 1" 3.3 vs 1.7 ft lbs. That's huge.. you might sacrifice a bit of runtime but I'm sure you have enough batteries to keep you working all daymaybe you don't plan on drilling bigger than 1" but the 1 1/8 should drill everything faster and will really shine when you want to do any chipping or tile removal etc.go big or go home!!

madman_us Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 go big or go home!!agreed! go with the 1 1/8 !i made the same decision man.Bosch 11255VSR Bulldog Xtreme - 1-Inch - 7.5amp motor - 2.2 ft lbsorBosch RH228VC Bulldog Xtreme Max - 1 1/8 Inch - 8 amp motor - 2.4 ft lbs + Vibration Control!bought the xtreme max.my big point was the VC ok with your 2 choices, there is a big difference in ft lbs.

Bremon Posted February 20, 2015 Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 If I ever need more than what I use my hammer drill for, I would definitely get the 1 1/8 over the 1". More power for not much more money.Especially since the m12 fuel might find its way into your kit, you'll have both ends of the spectrum covered.

DR99 Posted February 20, 2015 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2015 That's what I mentally thinking already. I just wanted to run it buy some fellow tool nerds For 50 bucks you get a lot more. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrosBros82 Posted February 23, 2015 Report Share Posted February 23, 2015 In my opinion it depends on what you're going to drill? If you are going to buy a large drill, I think you should go with the 1 1/8" model personally. However, if you are just going to drill tapcons in all day, I don't see why the cordless 5/8" wouldn't work. Anyone tried the dust extractor kit? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
