Thank you for this video. This was extremely helpful to determine which drill to get. I actually had a hammer drill -SDS pro from Harbor Freight. I thought it just used 6" long bits and I need a SDS Max to get a bit longer than 12" to add extra rebar in a failing small retaining wall . Harbor Freight actually had a $20 box set of SDS Pro 14" bits from 1/4 to 5/8" . This video saved me a bunch of money. The SDS Max set-up is super nice for a contractor, but I could not justify the expense for the limited work.

I have both SDS plus and SDS Max tools and I tend to use SDS Plus up to 16 millimetres anything over 16 mm I go to SDS Max the reason for that is if I go any bigger it's a lot more work on my SDS plus drill that is probably the best gauge when to use one or the other so if you want your drills to last a long time go by that gauge

It is quite sad for me to know that most of rotary hammer users are either ignorant or refuse to lubricate the shank part of the drill bit with a specific SDS grease, which is quite cheap and available at major hardware stores. I have sent quite a number of my company's rotary hammer to the service centre due to the drill bit holder part of those hammers being worn out and sometimes completely destroyed/torn apart.
