Craftsman SDS+ Rotary Hammer CMCH233B

[@OscyJack-]

I wonder how these new Craftsman's stack up to my DeWalt. The value on the craftsman is legit incredible.

[@LaSombraK7]

For demo Craftsman works, the result in practice is equal.

When used in drill mode do these have more torque than their 1/2” keyless chuck drills?

[@toolinhand]

It does. But, you can't use the same bits.

1:15 - 1:25 “…and the tool length is 14-61/64ths”, call it 15….every bit of the inch counts.” ….and then, for a split second, out of nowhere, Fran Drescher as the Nanny appears! Not sure what I just witnessed, but I’m pretty certain it was a glimpse of genius.

Extra points for the Minecraft combination sword/ pickaxe in the background. Any chance on getting a tool review on that puppy? (Asking for a young friend.)

[@toolinhand]

That is my daughter's sword. My garage has become somewhat of a toy box as well. Haha.

[@jamesmocharski4803]

@@toolinhand “That’s my Daughter’s sword,” is perhaps the best sentence, ever written! Don’t know why, but my mind immediately pictured something akin to the scene Crocodile Dundee, “That’s not a knife….THAT’S a knife,” (In that same Aussie accent) “Have a care, would you, that’s me daughter’s sword. Mind she doesn’t run you through with it.” Or’ if you’re at all familiar with Game of Thrones, there’s a character named Breanne of Tarth, who stands 6’-5” and is essentially a knight who kick’s some serious a**, despite everyone telling her, “But you’re a girl! Girl’s can’t fight!!!” before she proceeds to lay them out!

can these hold standard hex bits??? never saw a chuck like that

[@toolinhand]

As far as I can tell, they can just use SDS+ bits

[@henrysmifth536]

I'm getting one today 👏👏👏

[@markreyes2354]

How about chiselling concrete slabs?

[@toolinhand]

I'm not sure.

[@stephenmetz2044]

I'm imagining this won't drill 1 inch holes in cinder block.

[@horaceacecathcart7361]

Yes it will.

[@benjaminburris7454]

Try the chisel

[@danguzman4676]

pretty useless demo. it drillded a HOLE woohoo

[@toolinhand]

Yay!

[@ump5754]

Drilling holes through concrete with a SDS is useless?? Pretty sure that's one of, if not the #1, main uses of the drill. Definitely NOT useless
