GARVEE 1600W SDS-Max Demolition Jack Hammer Drill, 1-9/16" 13-Amp Corded Electric Heavy Duty Demo Chipping Hammer Concrete/Pavement Breaker with 1 Drill Bits, Point Chisel, Carrying Case

For the price I don't think this can be beat.. Seems as powerful as the Makita 40V battery one. That picture is drilling through hard basalt rock with 2" Bosch bit.

Needed a hole (4 inch) drilled into brick and concrete, so I bought this. Initially I borrowed a Milwaukee SDS MAX hammer drill to start it, but my chisel was too short to hammer out the core. I bought the https://www.garvee.com/dp/B09VL214TR?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 but I broke the SDS+ shaft when using it with the 4 inch (100mm) blade. I knew that I needed an SDS MAX drill to complete my task using the larger SDS MAX shaft. This drill came with everything (except the 2 pc brushes). Use the "Advanced Lubricant" to lube the bit end that goes into the chuck. This moves when hammering so it does need to be lubricated. I opened the 4 prong cap and it was full of grease already. I also bought an 18 in SDS MAX chisel to remove the core after drilling. This new drill worked great with the hammering. The description says 3 modes but it only has 2. The center (up) mode, is used to rotate the chisel bit by hand. When in the Hammer Mode, the bit will not rotate. You would never use this as a DRILL ONLY because it is so heavy. So the drill only mode is not needed. To conclude my review, the Towallmark worked just as well as the Milwaukee. If I used this often, then I would buy the Milwaukee, but for what I need, this works just fine. I would recommend it for any homeowner.

It's very lightweight, but powerful. Good for residential and light commercial use. In this demonstration, a 12 inch Bosch concrete bench. I went thru almost 12 inches of face brick. It is not as heavy duty as a name brand but definitely worth having in your toolbox. It took about 4-6 minutes per hole, constant coring. It did not get hot nor overheat.The locking mechanism locked the bit very well once it was secured. So far so good.

With all the cordless drill options out there, sometimes you just need the power of a corded drill. I picked this up because I needed just that, and I needed a hammer drill to be able to drill into brick and stone easily. This drill with its hammer function allows me to punch through brick easily. Being corded it has plenty of power for this, or for mixing grout, paint, and the like, another reason I picked this up. The drill itself is very heavy, and very nose-heavy; it comes with an auxiliary handle that is a must use in my opinion. The drill body is some kind of resin/plastic, very tough and dense and looks like it will be very durable. Having a 1/2” chuck on this is also a plus as I do use a bit that large occasionally. As far as power goes, this drill has plenty, and the hammer function works very well.This drill so comes with five masonry bits and 5 HSS (I believe) drill bits; these are good stop-gaps. It is a good budget drill option, definitely not a pro- or prosumer-level drill, but one that will serve my purposes nicely. It is fairly priced and a good corded drill to have on hand.

I consider myself a handy woman, I use this hammer drill to put up some shelves .. one of the first thing I noticed ,was this awful burning smell. I’m not sure if the smell is due to the power tools/drill breaking them self in or some other matters …So far, so good, the smell seem to burn away, as I got further into my project.. My only concern is I wish the hammer drill had a rubber grip handle…. Because the handle on this Drill is just a hard, plastic. with a hard plastic design, that I felt the entire time in my hand. So I had to use gloves , so that I wouldn’t create any calluses in the palms of my hands… over all, this hammer drill with drill, bits, seem to have worked just fine for me , the drill is heavy duty with a nice length extension cord…

This Towallmark drill can be used for drilling both wood and cement, it includes drill bits for both. I tried to use it with a solar battery, but it did not work since it requires a lot of electricity. It is corded, so it can be used close to the project location, I cannot use it to tap sugar maple trees, as I hoped I can do, but I have several other projects where this drill can be used. The speed can be adjusted with a knob. It also has lock on and hammer/drill switches. I would recommend it!

This is a powerful drill. It is fairly heavy but that is to be expected. I wouldn't want a 7-amp drill to be light. It didn't slow down at all boring some 4" holes with hole saw bits with the drill setting, and 1/2" holes in concrete with the hammer setting. And it was solid, meaning it didn't feel cheap at all. On the trigger is a small dial to adjust the speed. It did adjust the speed but seemed to only be regular speed and a little slower. It wasn't as fine tuned as I would have guessed. And the key for the chuck mounts right below the handle. I used a zip tie to attach the key to the cord further down so it was more user friendly. Overall it is a good powerful tool, and the extra bits that come with it are just an added bonus. I hope this was helpful.

I got this because I need a hammer drill of smaller format than my bulldog SDS drill.This one seems ok.It definitely draws power. The lights on the same circuit dimmed noticeably (that brief dimming on initial startup) more than usual when I used it.The ergonomics are fine and totally comparable to other brand name 1/2" drills. It comes with an ok auxiliary handle that has positive position locks that mate with positioning "dogs" on the drill body.The chuck operates smoothly and seems of good quality with no "eyeball" noticeable runout after a brief run in.The controls are easily spotted (orange) and follow a layout common to power drills.It comes with an assortment of common bit sizes that include a few masonry and metal bits, a depth guide, aux handle and a chuck key. There is a key retainer on the handle butt.On 1st startup, the rotation seemed a bit rough, but smoothed out after a few seconds. Maybe it needs to "wear in" a bit. The variable speed trigger works well and a range dial is included on the trigger.I couldn't get the trigger lock to work in any mode, or any speed. It would engage, but allowed the RPM to slow to just a couple of revolutions/minute.It will be fine for my uses.

Having used multiple types of hammer drills for masonry and demolition work, I have some experience with different models and levels of performance. This is a basic budget quality tool that lacks the bells and whistles and reliability of a unit that is “name brand.” If you’re expecting that level of quality and want to use this tool daily or for extended periods, don’t purchase this drill. It won't meet those expectations and you'll end up returning it. However, if you’re looking for something that will operate on occasion and don’t want to break the bank, this is a good option. It’s good for occasional use on home projects and I think it performs well given its price point. You can definitely tell that it has some cheap components on it and many of the plastic toggles feel like you need to be delicate with them or you risk breakage. If this was listed for a higher price point, it'd be three star. But for a homeowner with limited applications, this is a good option at a price that does beat out what I could find shopping around my local hardware stores.

Works just as well as the expensive name-brand units. Good quality tool. And quite powerful.
