Overview
This SDS-Plus impact drill is a cordless rotary hammer running on an 18 volt, 4 amp battery system, rated at 1050 RPM and weighing 5.8 pounds. It holds a 4.5 star rating across 114 reviews.
SDS-Plus refers to the bit and chuck system used for masonry drilling and light demolition, which sets this apart from a standard cordless drill meant mainly for wood and metal. At 1050 RPM the speed sits well below a typical drill driver, which fits the hammering, percussive nature of SDS-Plus work rather than fast spinning.

Who it's for
A good match for someone drilling into brick, block or concrete who needs the hammer action an SDS-Plus chuck provides, such as running conduit or anchoring hardware into masonry. A buyer only drilling wood or metal will be better served by a standard cordless drill driver.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- SDS-Plus chuck for masonry bits
- Cordless 18 volt battery power
- 4.5 star rating
- Heavier than a standard cordless drill
- Not suited to fine wood or metal drilling
Performance notes
The 1050 RPM rating is lower than a typical drill driver because SDS-Plus tools pair rotation with a hammering action, and that percussive force rather than raw spin speed is what breaks through masonry. Running on an 18 volt, 4 amp battery system, runtime and hammering force will depend on the battery pack used and how dense the material being drilled is.
