SHIELDPRO 1-1/4 Inch SDS-Plus 13 Amp Rotary Hammer Drill Heavy Duty, Safety Clutch 3 Functions with Vibration Control,Including Grease, Flat Chisels, Point Chisels and 3 Drill Bits

Needed to replace about 50 feet of corroded cast iron septic line under a concrete slab. The slab varies in thickness from 3-1/2 to 5 inches and has the smaller wire rebar grid. I decided to purchased this drill on June 1. Amazon next day delivery was very much apprexciated. This unit has paid for itself several times over versus a rental. Best I can tell I have between 30-40 hours of run time. I used a 7 inch diamond blade in a skill saw to cut along the side of the channel that I removed. Since the blade only cut about 3 inches deep, I used the hammer drill to go along the edge and finish breaking through the concrete. The drill is holding up well, I've had to sharpen the chisel and pick bits several times. The unit comes with two demolition bits (chisel, point) and three masonry drill bits. I have not used the masonry drill bits, only the demolition bits Pro: Inexpensive Sturdy Performs well Easy to operate and position Con: Not variable speed Bits are not hardened steel Demolition bits are only 10" This is not heavy-duty demo equipment but considering the price and how well it's held up, I would recommend this drill for most DIY'ers doing small or medium size projects. It may even hold up for professional use for someone who needs to do some masonry work for renovation or installation.

Worked perfectly for what I needed. Drives ground rods and drills 5/8” holes in cement piers with ease. Plenty of power. Excellent value.

This is a great value for the money. It comes in a nice case with chizels/bits, grease, and even a pair of cheap safety goggles. It did what I needed to do, so I am happy. But, the manual is atrocious. If you are a DIYer and this is your first SDS drill, you'll be lost. It does not point out the switches or what they do. Thankfully most of these kind of drills have similar controls, so you can find a manual for a different drill to figure it out. TL;DR: Good value, star off for horrible manual

Wow ! I’m impressed this thing eats concrete like with no lack of power great functionality and yes can mention the weight is slightly on the heavier side and size is slightly larger then your average drill although each drill has its own size and weight for each project and this does what you need it to do with no struggle and you’ll notice be visual of the adjustable hand handle left to right and or straight up in down, does include all accessories mentioned in the description, would recommend to anyone who interested in purchasing, wife, kids and I use to install two carports in one day so drilling approximately 40 holes continuously like ease smooth like butter ! Must buy ! Would recommend !

I needed this device to make some holes in old concrete slab, it worked like a charm! It took me just less than a minute to complete 4 holes which was impressive… seriously I had tried the same work with an old electric hammer drill and just couldn't complete the job. I highly recommend this product.

Great price for good quality

Purchased this to remove some rows of bricks off the top of the fireplace. I am 56, 5’4 - female and was able to hammer the bricks right out. After popping out, if you clamp the bricks you can use this to chisel the mortar off. This thing is heavy, but manageable! This was cheaper than renting one

I ordered this drill to break up some concrete and rocks. I used the 5" long 1/2" masonry drill bit first and to my big disappointment, the bit was bad after 1 and a half holes! I drilled the first hole and it seemed to work fine, but halfway through the second hole, I was making no progress after about an inch in. The picture shows what the bit looked like and why it did not drill anymore. Luckily, I had a neighbor with a Milwaukee 1/2" masonry bit that was 10" long and that bit was already used many times. I put it in this drill and it drilled right through concrete and rock easily. I drilled 15 or more holes and it was still just as sharp. Although he lent me his Bosch hammer drill too, I used his bit in this drill to see if it could perform or if I should just return it. Other issues that I had with this drill kit, was the dust that comes from drilling would get into the rotary selector knob. You have to push the knob end then turn it for non rotary action. Well I had a lot of difficulty rotating that knob after drilling half a dozen holes and wanting to change to the chisel bit. It was very annoying and time consuming. Also, the tube of lubricating grease that comes with it is about 4" x 1-1/2 inches but was only about 1/3rd full! You have to check the grease level (the instructions say look at the window, but there is no window), each time you use it. The grease seems to migrate through the drill and into the chuck making the bits black with grease. I recommend keeping a cleaning cloth to wipe the bit end after each use. The drill looks great, fairly heavy, has a long cord and comes with a variety of bits but I wouldn't count on any of the masonry bits to do the job The flat chisel and the pointed chisel seem to be ok. Overall, I'm very mixed about this drill since the bits were so cheaply made, I worry if the drill will last. I bought my own Milwaukee masonry bit and it worked like a charm. I hope the drill can keep up as I decided to keep it based on it's performance with the Milwaukee bits.
