Milwaukee Electric Rotary Hammers

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.

SDS-Max-Drive Bosch Electric Rotary Hammers

A deeper drive system minimizes wobble for straighter, more accurate holes and better overall performance to other rotary hammers. A powerful and durable hammer mechanism lets you drill deeper, larger holes in masonry and concrete in less time than with hammer drills. Use with SDS-Max drill bits (see SDS-Max-Shank Masonry Drill Bits and SDS-Max-Shank Core Drill Bits). Note: SDS-Plus and SDS-Max bits are not interchangeable.

All have a variable speed motor—the further you depress the trigger, the faster the speed. They also have 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 12 chisel positions to match the angle of many surfaces.

RH1255VC model provides smooth starts and won't slow down as you drill deeper.

Cordless Rotary Hammers

A powerful and durable hammer mechanism lets you drill deeper, larger holes in masonry and concrete in less time than with cordless hammer drills.

In rotary-percussion mode, the tool provides both a rotary drilling and hammering action. Use SDS-Plus shank drill bits for fast penetration into masonry materials. 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 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).
