If you find yourself staring down some heavy-duty projects that require chiseling stone, demolition concrete, or busting up brick, a rotary hammer is the tool you need. Hammer drills produce rapid, low force hammering that’s simply less powerful than the slow but powerful force of a rotary hammer piston. And right now, a rotary hammer from a heritage tool brand is on sale at Walmart with a $100 discount.
The Milwaukee 18V 1-Inch SDS Plus Rotary Hammer is on sale for $229 at Walmart, 30% off its normal $329 price tag. It produces a ton of power for a cordless tool, but we should note that this deal is for the tool only. You’ll need to grab a battery — preferably one with a higher capacity given the heavy-duty work this tool does — to use it.
A brushless motor delivers the fastest drilling speeds in its class, up to 1,330 RPM, along with 2 foot-pounds of impact energy. It can be used with both, in rotary hammer mode, or separately in hammer only and rotary only modes. No matter which mode they choose, operators of this tool will benefit from a rich suite of features. A kickback control function automatically stops the tool if it binds up, while a separate anti-vibration system delivers a more comfortable experience. The front handle can rotate 360 degrees and an LED light illuminates the drilling surface. There’s even a connection port for a dedicated dust extractor. And last but not least, the SDS plus chuck allows for tool-free changes and compatibility with a wide range of accessories.
One shopper wrote that this tool “is powerful and works well.” Another added that they “like this tool very much.”
