I use this 9/16 every day for setting 3/16 and 1/4" tapcons to hang TVs on exterior walls, and also 1/4" holes for garage shelving. its light and quiet very easy to control one handed. Usually, one 12v 5ah battery lasts all day long.
I remember Vincent talking about how important weight gets when you get older - oh - he was so right about that. One thing I like about this is that if you are not needing the extra power, that reduced weight is a big deal.
I'm already in the 12v dewalt line and will definitely be adding this for installing tapcons on a ladder. Way better than having the corded or even a larger cordless sds for that task specifically.
I actually grabbed a display model at Lowe's for $35 and I will be honest. For smaller stuff I have been impressed. Definitely has it place in my tool truck
Hi. Just need your opinion. Will you feel that this 12v SDS is very less power to the 20v SDS??? Also the battery life !! I’m confusing with to go for. This 12v sds or the 20 v sds with 5.0Amps Battery I’m mainly use for house fitting
@@fredericktan9692 yes it has less power and my 3amp battery doesn't last long, also battery gets hot. If you want to drill small holes the 12v is perfect. If you try drilling a 6mm hole with the 20v SDS it will make a messy hole (it's like using a sledgehammer for panel pins). I only use my 20v SDS for really big holes (16mm)
Exactly what I'm getting it for, set maybe 10 anchors or so for a pump pad and change out and I don't wanna have to use the corded Hilti our shop has. Too lazy to roll up an extension cord lol
Vince, I live in the Caribbean where we have concrete houses NO DRYWALL, which do you prefer for concrete, DCD805 or the DCH072? I'm not a builder by far, however I'd like to do some small projects from time to time.
I don't get it, why would you need DCH072 when you can buy DCH172, which has more impact force, has shock absorbtion, and is almost the same weight. I own a DCH172 and I don't know how it is made, but it seems stronger than 1,4J
Because some of us have the DeWalt 12V Extreme line, but we don't have any 20V batteries. I can buy this -072, or a -172 AND some batteries and spend a lot more. For a DIY person like me, the 12V makes better sense.
I saw them on Home Depot yesterday there are 2 different one it’s the small you are using the other it’s exactly look the same it’s bigger and powerful
I think the compact tools will handle most any job as the full size lineups but it’ll take longer and the tool will burn up quicker. Use the right tool for the job Edit: forgot to say - Great video Vince, thanks for the great content of late
I abuse the heck out of my M12 rotary hammer, I was once drilling a two and a half inch hole to run a new line set for an HVAC unit with a corded Hammer that died, and I finished the hole all 7 in of it with the M12
Hey Vince, it’s been a couple of years now but was wondering if Craftsman ever got that US plant up and running making Made in USA tools? Has Craftsman ever reached out to VCG to tour any of the facilities? Perhaps you could make a video or even a series on it. I check Lowes almost every week and thus far have not found a ratchet, socket, wrench made in USA. I even checked Craftsman site and all the pictures of the factories just look like packing facilities no lathes, mills, forges, presses or power hammers.
i dont understand the world of sds. and need to be educated on it... this tool seems like a smaller and lighter one so i guess my main question here is does that extra lightness actually give the user more control and accuracy for those smaller jobs. without holding up a heavier sds that might wander about or be off center. then you realize and try to correct the angle halfway thru drilling, and cause a blow out etc. thing is before i was just thinking we need a) 12v light drill for delicate work + b) 18v hammer drill (for harder work, including light masonary such as this)... + c) a very large sds for heavy masonry work. including chiseling / demo work. so my question really seem more around is there a place for this tooll within that lineup between b) and c) ? ie to help save the chuck on the b) 18v main drill and keep it from getting messed up doing these masonry jobs? as i think for myself it is a bit of stretch to justify a total of 4 different drills to cover everything. (unless some of those drills were cheaper corded tools like the biggest sds for example)
If you’re setting concrete screws, or drilling smaller holes through concrete day in day out on top of scaffolding, lifts, or ladders you’d want a small sds like this.
Only reason I ask is because I work commercial construction, HVAC lead, building America, Denver International Airport, GC has strict safety standards. Please come w some feedback! Thanks 🤙🏽
👍👍👍 another impressive one VCG! But is it the drill that's impressive or the Diablo bits🤔 maybe both, or possibly the technique of the smooth operator😜
Milwuakee 12V rotary has been so useful. Anyone who can should have a 12V rotary hammer. Jobs that require hammer drill up to 3/8" will be a cakewalk with this type of tool.
If you only have a few holes here and there I'm sure this would treat you well but doesn't seem to have the power to be used all day everyday. I'll stick with hilti
finally a video from u I liked no acting cool just showed the tool and worked it outside the recommended boundaries. Thanks Do chicks actually dig on you..
In my opinion here's why this tool is actual garbage. it's light/small subcompact enough to where your arm is not stressed as much as a compact rotary but the moment you're using this enough to warrant a rotary hammer vs a regular hammer drill the wear on the tool is too much to warrant the cost increase (smaller components means thermal, shock, and friction forces) So it's too light to be a proper trade tool in its role and unnecessarily expensive over the regular hammer drill.
The DCH133 is much cheaper (It used to be only $159 for tool only at Home Depot, now $229) and much more powerful. It somewhat awkward to use because how long it is, but it works really well and with a 6Ah battery will last for hours of work. I personally don't see much use for this. For smaller tasks, DCD805 Hammer Drill works well enough.
Compact rotary hammers like these have a purpose. Sometimes you don’t always need cores drilled out or trenches made for plumbing repairs. Sometimes you need a large amount of tap cons installed for 2 hole clamps for a gas, water or electrical line. I could throw my Makita 12 volt hammer drill and impact in my Veto tech pac and climb multiple flights of stairs or ladder hatches for a repair or install. A 12 volt rotary hammer is a good special purpose tool for professionals. It’s a power to weight ratio that this tool solves and can easily make a job site more efficient even if it’s a work out to get there. These aren’t meant to go head to head with 18 or
If you mean it takes time for the hammer to kick in then I have the same problem with a Dewalt DC213KA 18volt SDS drill I have. It can be a real pain when you need accuracy on a hole, I kind of tap the bit with the drill to get it to kick into hammer action, I heard other users complain also. I never had that problem with a Makita SDS drill. It might be that they don't grease the mechanism well enough inside or the grease isn't fine enough for the mechanism, they are supposed to use finer grease in hammer mechanisms than inside the gear box, otherwise its just a fault. My drill is impressive but that quirk is annoying for me sometimes.
Don’t go too coo coo for coconuts now… That tool is a nearly a direct copy of Makitas 12 volt Max brushless rotary hammer. It’s got loyalty, got royalty inside its DNA.
I can’t justify spending the money on a rotary hammer that is only good for setting anchors when my dcd999b can do this job and then some… this tool is nothing but dead weight to me..

Absolutely! Plus these new 12v tools have a ton of power not to mention they are easier to control
But everyone laughs at me that I use a 10oz hammer for wire staples🤔
@@赔我小鱼干 If it gets the job done - really, who cares.
I'm already in the 12v dewalt line and will definitely be adding this for installing tapcons on a ladder. Way better than having the corded or even a larger cordless sds for that task specifically.
These are amazing for tap cons. Drills much tighter holes. I rarely need filler when I drill with this versus my bigger SDS
DeWalt did a great job on this one! If I were on the DeWalt platform, I’d buy it! Thanks for the info! Great job! 👍🏻
Definitely powerful for its size, thanks ZZ!

How about putting it VS the M12 Fuel one?
It's a fantastic SDS for putting shelves/TV bracket up, it drills really clean holes. I no longer use my 20v SDS anymore
Hi.

Will you feel that this 12v SDS is very less power to the 20v SDS??? Also the battery life !!

Has the 12v line been discontinued?
They don’t seem to be adding to it, and they’re difficult to get in Australia.
Wouldn't mind a mikwaukee v DeWalt 12v tests
We can do that
Thanks man, I just ordered the 20V ! I’m excited lol
Looks like the 5.0 battery would be better for it. This would be a handy little tool for setting anchors especially over the head work.
Good call
Exactly what I'm getting it for, set maybe 10 anchors or so for a pump pad and change out and I don't wanna have to use the corded Hilti our shop has. Too lazy to roll up an extension cord lol
It’s like Makita’s 12 volt hammer drill but with no anti vibe functions. Cool little tool does the job well.
Now test the DCH775 rotary hammer!!! I've got a DCH735 i just bought for up to 5'' dry coring!
So,I have a bunch of dcb201 batteries and I was wondering if, through modifying or similar, they could/should be used with this rotary hammer.
Vince, I live in the Caribbean where we have concrete houses NO DRYWALL, which do you prefer for concrete, DCD805 or the DCH072?
I'm not a builder by far, however I'd like to do some small projects from time to time.
Good addition to the 12v mustard crew. I will say this, I feel like my M12 Fuel 5/8” SDS moves through noticeably quicker. Maybe it’s just me.
I don't get it, why would you need DCH072 when you can buy DCH172, which has more impact force, has shock absorbtion, and is almost the same weight. I own a DCH172 and I don't know how it is made, but it seems stronger than 1,4J

@@l00nybin yeah, I totally agree, if you have only 12V then DCH072 is worth all the money. Otherwise, 172 would be a better choice
Was literally thinking of copping the other day !
Hahahahah, LOVE ❤️ the thumbnail! It's the same look I have on my face when looking at "promo" banners these days.
I saw them on Home Depot yesterday there are 2 different one it’s the small you are using the other it’s exactly look the same it’s bigger and powerful
Id like to see what you guys think ab the milwaukee 12v fuel one i own it and i love it
I think the compact tools will handle most any job as the full size lineups but it’ll take longer and the tool will burn up quicker. Use the right tool for the job

For a couple of drill holes for the christmass decoration once the year it looks to me.

Ok how does this compare to the power detect hammer drill dcd998?
Usually grab this over my 20v sds. Works great 👍

They should make power stack in 12v.
That would be cool!
@vcgconstruction Which do you prefer the atomic SDS or the 12V?
I haven’t used either enough to give you a good answer, but for my line of work I’d probably get the most use out of the XR

So apart from the battery draining faster than an angle grinder, It worked top notch.
12volt 3ah battery doing work typically left for 20v or corded SDS tools... yea battery life is going to be significantly lower
How well does it work at chipping concrete?

@@l00nybin The Bauer drill was better than this Dewalt.
@@jeffandhannahlehman9622 the Bauer is also a 20V, so it better be stronger.

Why would you use the smallest battery on the biggest tools? Would you run a pick up truck with a motorcycle battery?
Little thing got some power Vince
I agree Jamal!
Bro is there 18 or 20 big drill in the same design
Looks ideal for mobile maintenance crews
It looks pretty good. Dewalt is really going extreme with that line. 😅
