As an electrician I am always in need of a box chipped in a block wall or need to chip a corner off the end of a wall to wrap EMT/Romex etc. and this thing does it with ease. Drilling is easy and quick.

Make pilot holes for t-posts
Rating: 5
With a 15" long 7/8 bit you can drill a pilot hole in Texas Hill Country limestone big enough to then hammer in a t-post. Light enough to carry anywhere you can carry a t-post and driver. Worth its weight in swear words.

Lightweight but powerful
Rating: 4
powerful and lightweight, use it for drilling 1/2 inch holes for anchors, very nice dont have to pull cord out for a couple of holes. Anti vibe is nice

I used this product to drill 1” holes in core slab... it burned out in less then 30 days. Replacement can't drill 4 1.5” holes without overheating... my SDS plus has better performance drilling 1” holes then the SDS Max... I love my Milwaukee tools but am very disappointed in this rotary hammer

I am now on my fourth hammer drill they all only last 15 minutes before they burn up I have the smaller hammer drill and never had a issue. Stay away from this product it's a waste of a lot of money.. They also take forever to get serviced.
