Overview
The SDS-Plus AC-RH01 is a 20 volt cordless rotary tool built around the SDS-Plus chuck system, sized for drilling into masonry and concrete rather than general wood or metal work. At 3.84 kilograms it sits in the mid weight range for a battery powered rotary drill.
The SDS-Plus chuck lets bits lock in without a keyed chuck and accepts standard SDS-Plus hammer bits and chisels, widening compatibility with masonry accessories already on a job site. Being battery powered adds portability that corded rotary drills do not offer. At 1080 RPM and 1 amp, the numbers read as a lighter-duty rotary tool rather than a full demolition hammer, worth weighing against harder concrete jobs.
- SDS-Plus chuck accepts hammer bits without a keyed chuck
- 20 volt DC battery platform
- 1080 RPM no-load speed
- Compact 16 x 3.6 x 7 inch body
Who it's for
This suits tradespeople or DIYers who already use a 20 volt battery platform and need to drill anchor holes into brick, block or concrete. It is not built for large-diameter masonry holes or continuous demolition work.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Cordless SDS-Plus bit compatibility
- Portable at under 4 kg
- 20V battery platform
- 1 amp draw signals limited power for large holes
- No listed hammer/impact energy spec
- Battery and charger not confirmed included
Performance notes
SDS-Plus mechanism transfers hammering action through the bit shank slot rather than a keyed chuck, letting bits pivot and self-center under load. A 20 volt DC platform with a 1 amp draw and 1080 RPM no-load speed positions this closer to a light masonry driver than a heavy demolition rotary hammer.
