Got the Hammervac first and was going to use it with the Bosch, but it was too heavy/bulky. Picked up the Milwaukee 12v SDS rotary hammer. Makes for a nice little package.
I may occasionally use it for concrete but my primary use will be for drilling dozens of holes in drywall. I’ve done a few test holes and there’s virtually zero dust.
can i ask why an SDS for drilling through plaster/drywall? normal bits seem to work perfectly fine for me…
I’ll be using the drill function for drywall – not the hammer function. I bought it because it’s lightweight and it pairs well with the Hammervac and collects the drywall dust while drilling. I install a lot of stud-mounted letters in offices and rather than have drywall dust all over the wall and floor, I’ll use this to basically clean as I drill. SDS bits work great on drywall and also on metal studs if sharpened on a Drill Doctor.
Ahh I see! thanks for the explanation.
That would be awesome for drywall drilling.
