A powerful and durable hammer mechanism lets you drill deeper, larger holes in masonry and concrete in less time than with hammer drills. Also known as a SDS-Plus rotary hammer, this model is lightweight and ideal for overhead work and drilling smaller holes. Use with SDS-Plus drill bits. Note: SDS-Plus and SDS-Max bits are not interchangeable.

Use the rotary-only mode for general purpose drilling and driving fasteners (requires a chuck adapter or a magnetic bit holder). In rotary-percussion mode, the tool provides both a rotary drilling and hammering action. In the percussion-only mode, the tool provides only the hammering action. Use this mode when working with chisels and other masonry tools (see Chisels for Rotary Hammers).

This model has a variable speed—the further you depress the trigger, the faster the speed. It also has a built-in safety clutch to protect you and the hammer if the bit gets stuck in your material. A chisel lock allows you to choose from 35 chisel positions to match the angle of many surfaces.

Just push a switch and this tool will change from a standard electric drill to a hammer drill.

The rotary-only mode is for general purpose drilling and driving fasteners. Use this mode with standard drill bits for wood and metal as well as masonry drill bits. In rotary-percussion mode, the tool provides both a rotary drilling and hammering action. The hammering action pounds concrete and masonry, which breaks up the material while it drills. Use this mode for drilling masonry materials using carbide-tipped masonry drill bits.

Drill has a keyed chuck that can be tightened with the included key. This model has a variable speed—the further you depress the trigger, the faster the drill rotates. It also has a detachable Quik-Lok cord. See Milwaukee Quik-Lok Power Cords for replacement cord.
