I do want to Thank You for the honest review. Several to pick from at Harbor Freight and I have no idea which to use to loosen bolts, cylinder pins on backhoe, tractors and what not on the farm. Not sure yet but this really helps. Thanks for this excellent video.
Love me some harbor freight tools! You aing gonna build 100 houses with the tools. But you can sure keep your house going with the tools. For the price they can't be beat! Thanks for sharing and good luck with your project! Gro Dat!!
Yes sir. Thanks for taking a moment to eyeball the video. Even if it fails after two projects, it's still better than spending time to find a rental place to pick it up, then work feverishly for 4 hours or the day, then spend time to bring it back. Take care over there. Oh, and that fried down cabbage looked bon. I made some just last week with homegrown cabbage and some smoked manda sausage. MMMmm
@@growmesomethingmister4930 I love the smothered cabbage! Glad you tried it and enjoyed it! I feel you about having to go back and forth to rental place. I am the same way. If I need 2 pound of screws I buy 20 pounds. I always over buy to reduce the time I have to go back to the stores. And just as you said. That tool will last you more than 2 jobs. You can't beat the not having to run back and forth to the rental place. Hope yall are doing well also. Gro Dat!!
Looks like you got a pretty good deal there! Does pretty good as just the hammer so if you need the hammer drill later on I bet it does good with that too. Keep up the great work!
Geebs! Thanks for casting an eye on the video. As a hammer drill it performs really well. I was able to drill through this concrete in less that a minute. With three holes drilled, I switched to the flat chisel on hammer mode and knocked out two decent chunks of concrete. Take care up there.
Thanks for making this!! What is up with the seashells, never seen anything like that before? I know in the past they used crushed sea shells for landfill in some areas.
Randy, good to see you. How are your projects coming along? Last I recall inside what the bathroom. Looking forward to your updates. Take care up there.
Would have liked to see your choice of settings using the two separate dials that control action instead of just watching you shove in different bits and pulling the trigger.
I messed that up. I was supposed to dial it up to full power and half power, but ended up remaining half power the entire time. I didn't have a need to use the drill/hammer drill feature so I left it off. If you're curious, it drills just fine through the concrete, much easier than a regular masonry bit in a hammer drill.
I haven't used it lately but I let someone use it to find a leak under slab. He drilled and chiseled 5 holes before he found the leak. To my knowledge he had no issues.
@@AerialLensVideo hey brother I'm just going to add that I do not know your expertise nor am I an expert I just wanted to know if you maintained the drill inserting grease and clearing debris from the drill chuck hole and stopping the drill chuck before it reaches the surface
I tried two mixers: a large paddle for mortar and drywall compound and a typical paint mixer. The paddle mixer is too big to even have a chance. The paint mixer went in, but was superficial and wouldn't bite. The SDS is square and the mixers, being hex, didn't work out.
@@growmesomethingmister4930 Thanks for checking all of those. I found a video showing an adaptor going from an SDS connection to a regular chuck. ua-cam.com/video/0tYtog-zp9E/v-deo.html
This one has a higher amp motor, larger size 1 1/8" vs 1", and it has 3.7 ft lb impact energy vs the 1.9 ft lb the cheaper ones has. I was already fighting the concrete with a regular hammer drill and regular masonry bits that didn't go much of anywhere, along with a chisel and 4lb maul. I did not want to be undersized between the two, yet I didn't want to get the large demo hammer that just hammers, and I didn't want to get the one that's $80 more and is a 2in1 unit rather than a 3in1 unit. I used an sds drillbit that ate through the concrete and after a couple holes I switched to the pointed and flat chisels and was able to take out nice chunks of the concrete. If you're not tackling such a project as shown in this video then the cheaper one may be enough, but if you are doing similar then I advise that you get this one.
Worth it, imo. Four or five square holes roughly 6"x6" have been drilled and chiseled to make copper pipe repairs under slab. Considering rental for a day of same price, this pays for itself.

Thanks for the rundown bubba, was just checking this badboy out on the app. I think you sold me on it.
The drilling capability of this bad boy is superior to regular drills and hammer drills.

nice job demonstrating the tool

You can use the SDS plus bits, they are backwards compatible to SDS.
Thanks now I know what to get when I need one. Thanks for the info
Randy, good to see you. How are your projects coming along? Last I recall inside what the bathroom. Looking forward to your updates. Take care up there.
if i waqnt to go to SDS plus is the adapter worthless?
eesh I dont know.
Thank you your a life saver
Good morning Mister Grow Me. Yup it's not a jack hammer but it will get you there and it's easier to use than a jack hammer. Best wishes Bob.

Is it still going strong? Mine quit capturing the shanks and will not rotate so well. Probably logged a few hours over a couple of years.

@@growmesomethingmister4930 That is good. Mine was just a quality variation I guess. Tiny cheap problems can cost a lot.

Look like a great investment 😊
Howdy. So far so good. Take care waaay over there. Thanks for stopping by.
Does it connect to Hex?? I’m looking to connect it to a mixing paddle.
Not likely to grab onto it, but I'll try the paddle mixers I have in a day or so and get back to you. Maybe it'll connect enough by friction.
@@growmesomethingmister4930 If you don't mind taking a little part of your day to do so. Thank you!

Dear Grow Me, interesting video, you can scan the manual and share it with us, I recently buy a used one without manual.
Why did you choose this model over the other Bauer rotary hammer? I’m trying to decide between the two once they’re only $10 apart.
This one has a higher amp motor, larger size 1 1/8" vs 1", and it has 3.7 ft lb impact energy vs the 1.9 ft lb the cheaper ones has. I was already fighting the concrete with a regular hammer drill and regular masonry bits that didn't go much of anywhere, along with a chisel and 4lb maul. I did not want to be undersized between the two, yet I didn't want to get the large demo hammer that just hammers, and I didn't want to get the one that's $80 more and is a 2in1 unit rather than a 3in1 unit.

If you're not tackling such a project as shown in this video then the cheaper one may be enough, but if you are doing similar then I advise that you get this one.
@@growmesomethingmister4930 Thanks for all the information!
Just bought it for $80. Im used to hilti and milwaukee. Well see. For $80 for home stuff shouldnt be too bad
Worth it, imo. Four or five square holes roughly 6"x6" have been drilled and chiseled to make copper pipe repairs under slab. Considering rental for a day of same price, this pays for itself.
Mine just died after 2 uses
