Occasionally I need a hammerdrill. For example, in the next couple weeks I will be doing some welding in my brother's old dairy barn; stanchions, etc. and a hammerdrill sure would be nice. For occasional use will a HF hammerdrill hold up? If they have different sizes, I'd get the bigger one.

Thanks, Glenn F.

I would go for their "largest" rotary hammer - looks like a small Hilti. They have three differnt machines that all look alike. The $89 version hammers, drills and hammer drills. The next one down only hammers, the next one down is less powerful and only hammers.

I bought the Grizzley version of their most expensive one a few years ago for $99 - as far as I can tell, it is the same thing HF sells. I consider it one of my best tool values ever.

If I were using it regularly or for work, I'd get the $500 name brand equivalent. But for occasional around the home use, it is more than adequate.

Of course, maybe the HF version looks the same but is not built as well as the Grizzley version - I don't know but I would be supprised if they are not exaclty the same aside from the color. If you want to be sure to get a good value, spend the extra $10 or $20 and get it fron Grizzley.

The one I'm looking at is lot #45377. Is that the HF equivalent?

Here are the HF Item Nos. for two very similar looking tools.

This one 41983-0VGA looks most like the one I got from Grizzley.

The other 47606-8VGA looks similar but apparently not as powerful 4.6 vs 5.6 working amps. You can view owners manual on-line at the HF site.

I would go with the first one I have listed above. On sale for half price too.

PS the rotary hammer I pointed out uses SDS drills. I think they are much better for a hammering application compared to a conventional drill chuck. The SDS bits are not any more expensive than standard masonary bits if you get them through HF, Grizzley, etc.

I own two, and both have held up well. The reason for the second one was that the first one never seemed to stay at home. Both are the 3/8" ones that run roughly $20. I did have to put a set of brushes in the first one, but that was my fault--it was the only drill I had handy at the moment, and I needed to drill some 3" holes with a hole saw. Got the holes drilled, but it was a bit too much for the drill. I actually prefer the HF ones over my 1/2" Makita, as the RPM is slower, and if someone does borrow and break it, I'm only out $20.
