   Contents:- Hard clamshell case with two latches and carrying handle- SDS+ corded drill with adjustable bracing grip- chuck attachment for drilling- three masonry drill bits- one flat chisel- one pointed chisel- wrench and lubricant- guide rail and misc. partsThis SDS+ hammer drill is lightweight and has decent customizability. The bracing handle is easily manipulated with a pressure switch, so not tools necessary to adjust it. There is a mode change knob on the size with clear indicators for each mode. There is a speed adjustment knob on the rear of the drill. The trigger is multi finger length which is nice. Including all of the drill bits is great. I got this primarily for demolition and removal of an old tile bathroom. This will work much better than a hammer and removal tool.But let’s be real, name brand SDS+ drills are super expensive and if you’re not using it over and over it’s not worth the cost. This is super affordable for a comparable drill with accessories. I will sacrifice longevity for my minimal uses and much more affordable option.

   Breaking rocks in the hot Sun! Drill works great on a pile of granite boulder with a Bosch bit , followed up with feather and wedges. Making big rocks into smaller rocks for a better dry laid stone wall.

   I debated whether to get an off-brand rotary hammer drill on Garvee but decided it couldn’t be that much worse than getting one at Harbor Freight, so decided to give this a try. I got a 4″ wide chisel attachment for it and used it to remove floor tiles in a bathroom. It did a great job at removing the tiles and seems like it’s pretty well made. I think this would work great for occasional home use. It’s obviously not a commercial grade tool, but works great for small weekend projects around the house. Honestly if it works just one time at removing tile flooring it’s worth it to me, because it would have taken me forever to remove the flooring using hand tools. Very happy with it so far.

   Drilling holes in concrete is not the easiest job, but this drill will get it done quick. I have other hammer drills, but they are all smaller. The SDS system along with the weight and power of this drill, lends itself to making quick work, even drilling 20-year-old concrete. (Concrete only gets harder over time)I used this drill to bore holes in my concrete shop floor so I could mount a tire removal post. Made the job quick and easy. This drill has a number of useful functions and features and comes with a nice selection of accessories including an adjustable bracing grip, 3 masonry bits, 2 chisel bits, wrench and gear-box lubricant, guide rail and even a debris collector and spare motor brushes. The whole kit comes in a sturdy molded case. All the included bits are of the SDS type.By turning a knob, you can switch from a normal drill to hammer-drilling, to chiseling. There is also an option to position the chisel bit at different angles. The drill come with a variety of accessories, including two chucks. One for standard drill bits and one for SDS bits.Just drilling, the keyless, quick-change chuck makes it easy to swap out bits, so it acts like any other drill. The drill offers a variable speed switch mounted on the body rather than the trigger. I prefer a variable speed trigger, but it makes little difference in getting the job done.Switch to SDS hammer drill and you’ll need to change the chuck. SDS bits are different in that they are slotted and lock into grooves inside the chuck. SDS bits are slotted to allow the range of the hammer back-and-forth to be longer than a standard hammer drill. This means it can strike with greater force and stroke when hammering or chiseling.Switch to chiseling and the rotation will be disabled. In this mode, you have what is basically a mini jackhammer, useful for busting thin concrete and cement. It would also be good for cleaning up used brick and blocks or scraping stuck ceramic tiles off the floor or wall.I priced several name brand SDS drills in the same class and found them to be 2 to 3 times more expensive. It might be worth it if you’re going to use this tool commercial, (maybe not) but for the DIYer or occasionally use, this drill looks to be really well constructed, comes with a variety of expensive accessories, and at the current price of $73, seems like a bargain to me. I can highly recommend it.

   This is a pretty heavy duty hammer drill. Mine came missing the chisel bits which was really disappointing. I used the hammer drill as shown in the video. The hammer gauges and kicks in automatically as one it expects and it works well and rather quickly. I like that it comes with two different chucks. One for hammer drilling/chiseling and the other for standard drill bits. It has variable speeds, but it’s done by a dial on the side and not by the trigger.The instructions don’t have anything to say about the different operating modes. There is a dial with four settings, which you’re on your own to interpret.At this price point, it’s a pretty good value, but time will tell.

   Used for chipping out concrete slab floor to make groove for ice maker water line. Fast and efficient.Put up a LOT of dust, though. Used a respirator with full mask and placed cover over the work area toprevent dust from going all over. Be sure to protect face and other exposed body parts. Also used to remove ceramic floor tiles and tile cement. Worked great. Well worth the price which was less than $40.

   This review is for the Towallmark SDS Rotary Hammer Drill.Overall: 5 StarsThis hammer drill is a beast! It’s easy to use and the kit contains a lot of the basic bits that you’ll need. The drill is heavy, but that weight provides the drilling and chiseling power that allows it to drill through concrete, cement, and even stone. And the hammer function provides the ability to do light demo work or to scrape up ceramic tile or similar products. The drill comes with two easily exchanged chucks, one for the SDS functions and one for pure rotary drilling. Switching between functions is as easy as twisting a knob. And the whole kit comes in a durable rotomolded case that’s durable and should last for years.Bottom Line: An excellent SDS rotary hammer drill at an affordable price.
