    Best demonstration ever about the differences between them and the do-it-all value of the slightly heavier, larger hammer drill.

    For a homeowner /DIY a hammer drill is probably the better option but for professional rotary hammer + drill is the way to go

      you can also find them for a pretty good price at harbor freight or princess auto. it's so much faster it's often worth it if you have a bunch to do.
      but Clint is right if you've just got a couple to do, you can do it with any hammer drill!

      I would say for true professional, Milwaukee makes small rotary hammer drill in m12 fuel series.
      Then get the impactor and hammer drill based on ur needs. If 12v is good then Milwaukee makes amazing 12v stuff no one Else can compete, if u want more power Dewalt take a look at Dewalts atomic or XR.
      A lot of people are looking for an all in one when starting, I would say the 3rd Gen m12 fuel is the way to go. Then make an amazing hammer drill suitable for many things and rakes hex bits

      Yes and no... It's a better idea to have the rotary hammer and the hammer drill for a professional in some case. A professional may prefer to use a hammer drill for a small job or in a tight space.

    I just listened to about five or six other videos about hammer drills impact drills, and plain old fashioned drills. I was more confused after watching them.
    You explained the differences perfectly.
    I actually understand! How can I thank you??? Oh I know… I gave you a BIG THUMBS UP 👍🏻 and it’s well deserved. Thanks 🙏🏼

    I ended up with two of the Flex turbo hammer drills. The first one I bought for $99 from Acme last July, primarily for the batts and charger. That tool took a bit to ship, though, so I found a good deal on the stacked turbo HD and impact kit.
    I don't need two hammer drills, so I've turned one into a dedicated drywall mud mixer. It's we'll see how long it can last. Maybe 30 buckets in so far, and it handles the large Level 5 mixing paddle no problem.
    Of the few Flex tools that I have, they all feel solid. My favorites are the fan and the tripod light.

    I have the Flex Hammer Drill, and was considering purchasing the Flex Drill/Driver as well. This video just made me realize that there literally NO reason for me to do that since the Hammer Drill can already do EVERYTHING that the Drill Driver can do. 🤔
    For some reason I was thinking the Drill Driver would work BETTER on wood than the Hammer Drill. I realize that this is not the case. Thanks for posting this video buddy! 👍

    i'm not planning on drilling through concrete/cement or cinder blocks any time soon, but i like having the tool for the job just in case i need to. also the hammer drill chews through material quicker regardless. it helps that i got my milwaukee impact driver and hammer drill combo with 2 batteries, a charger, and a carry bag for 200$ off. always look for sales folks

    I’m just a homeowner and got some dewalt 20 volt stuff so was looking for dewalt 20 volt drill. My local ace had clearance on a DCD 999 hammer drill w 6 ah flexvolt battery for $120. Idk why I thought a hammer drill was way different than a regular drill. I thought maybe I needed both. I got all bases covered tho after what I learned from this vid. Thanks

    When in doubt choose both. I never cried myself to sleep over having redundant backup of good tools since double the tools halves eaches wear rate (assuming each was used equally), and can reduce bit or accessory swaps. For example I'll have one drill with a machinist's starter drill bit, one with a pilot bit and one with the final size when doing some steel work like building my shop shelves of steel angle.

  • @louisd95714
    @louisd95714 Рік тому

    I consider a hammer drill to be the middle ground between a drill driver and SDS. For a typical home owner, a hammer drill would be more than enough.
    I am wondering why there is no hammer only function in a hammer drill. I think that feature would come in handy to drive in nails, etc. which would be similar to Milwaukee's palm nailer.

    Jack of all trades-tools may work for people with limited budgets, but dedicated tools are the right way to go for people who make money with their tools. A normal drill driver is more compact and lighter which is in itself a win. Impact drivers are even better if you can handle the noise. Nothing beats impact drivers at driving in screws unless it's a situation where you need a lot of torque-control.
