We Bought a 13 Amp Rotary Hammer and Rebar Demon Bits on Amazon...Did they work?
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 26 май 2022
- Our Dewalt hammer drill was too small to get through the heavy rock and rebar in our slab, so we had to order something bigger. Our choice was the Eneacro 13 Amp rotary hammer for SDS-Plus bits and the Diablo Rebar Demon bits. This video shows them in use, and we share our opinion on the products.

Picked up the same hammer drill for a home basement framing job. It absolutely puts holes into concrete like butter. Glad your experience was same as mine. 150 holes drilled and counting. Great value
I want to frame my basement, would you recommend it to drill holes for tapcon?
@@bhadz100 yes that is what I did. It’s a great drill.
@@derekfisher4806 what drill bit did you use? Did you use the tapcon drill bit or an sds?
@@bhadz100 requires SDS plus. The tapcon screws come with a bit so just match the bit. 6” 3/16 inch size bit . Is what I used for studs. Believe the screws were 3”
@@derekfisher4806 dang dude this is awesome. I got one and it drills through concrete like butta.. question, I need to drill some hole through the foundation, can I use a core bit on this rotary hammer
the rubber donut included is designed to place at the base of the drill bit to hold dust from entering the tool when drilling upwards. the front knob is to apply spin on drill bits or not when chipping. the rear knob is to control hammering. test it.
thanks for the video, gonna get one of these today.
Bought the same one thanks for the review
I have this rotary drill, & it goes thru congrete like hot knife thru butter. When using SDS-plus drill bits, the chuck locks the drill bits so it continues drilling. Much better than the hammer drill from Ryobi & Rigid. Thx 4 sharing on Utube.
After spending the morning searching for a deal on used name brand powerful rotary hammer drills , I came upon this one. Was skeptical as hell when I saw the price considering the cheapest used Dewalt I could find was $250. After watching this though, I’m convinced. Just ordered it, can’t wait for it to arrive and start busting up all my tile floors. Thx for the honest video!
Believe me, U won't b disappointed.
Excellent overview and real application !!!
Thanks for watching and commenting
Just ordered this drill for reinforcing my outdoor shed. My light duty hammer felt like i hit rebar even though there isn't any in my shed slab. I was getting nervous about my purchase immediately after pulling the trigger on this but watching this video makes me feel like it might get the job done. Great no BS video. Thanks!
Hope it works out well, we have drilled many holes now with zero issues. If you do have any problems use the Diablo rebar demon bits they seem to eat through anything
@@BacktoCountry Absolutely brother! Taking your advice and heading to Home Depot after work to pickup some of those bits! Hurricane might be heading our way soon and I don't need my shed becoming my neighbors shed.
You may have hit small stones.
Thanks for the review. I've never bought anything Diablo or Freud that wasn't good. Now I've got to choose which Chinese Hammer to buy. They all have quite a few reviews and they're pretty much all good. Once again for the review, It's a big help.
Thanks for watching hope it helps. We have used the drill a lot now and it is still going strong. Zero issues and Zero complaints
Bought a similar Chinese drill and used a cross tip drill (4 point) to drill basalt rocks prior to splitting. Initially tried drilling starting from 3/16" bit all the way up to the final hole size of 5/8" on a workshop hammer drill (Dewalt XR battery model). Changed the chuck twice on that drill. Time consuming and went through countless bits. The Chinese model which looks exactly like yours chewed through the rock like going thro butter with one 5/8 bit. Cheaper and faster.
I was reluctant to buy this drill because of quality concerns but since I will use it infrequently I took shot and spent the $110. Used Milwaukee bits and they worked well. Even hooked it up to a Champion generator like you did. Very happy with the results. These are cases where you have to have the right tool for the job.
Big mistake I made was pushing down on the hammer rather than use your hands to guide it only.
Thanks for the review as most such videos show only the best case scenario; drilling thro concrete or soft rock.
I really appreciate your video. Is it still working for you two years later?
@@NatalieTaekwondo glad we could help. Our drill still works as good as the day we got it! Thanks for watching and providing feedback
For bits,blades, drivers, any cutting gear, though a bit more expensive, Diablo worth every penny in getting you to the next operation. I hear people bitch about 65$ for a single drill bit, until they smoke 2 of their 35$ cheapies and THEN have to buy the Diablo anyway. EDIT: My cheap demolition hammer autolubes, so yes thats how it works.
Hey, at 6:59 I actually thought the same thing, but apparently the lube is used on the end of the bit that goes into the machine, it prevents it from overheating too much and prematurely cracking during a project.
You don't push to go down faster it will drill faster if you just lean on it without hard pushing
These kind of labeled OEM drills cost only $50 in China
Yah, but by the time you figure in gas and the time to go get it….😉😂
From my experience with other rotary hammers, those 2 functional switches are not doing the same. The round one on a side is switching Drill+Hammer, Hammer (but not fixed, so can be rotated by hand) and fixed Hammer. Another one has 2 positions - Impact and No Impact. So you can have different functions by using 2 switches. Lets say if you need just drilling, then turn off impact and switch to Drill+Hammer.
Just curious if my assumption is correct, or this brand has different purpose of those switches.
Your tool that you say is typical for a grinder is used to open and close the cap where you place the grease in your tool. Make sure to always have grease in it or bad things happen
I think there might be a depth gauge in the case.
you are going to need a shed for all of your tools!
what size drill bits diablo
The drill takes SDS-Plus bits and you can buy them in whatever size you need
A word of cuation for these chinese rotary hammers on amazon. Some of these (not this one) do not have a safety clutch which puts you at a huge risk of hurting your wrist. Please get one which has a safety clutch.
I've discovered a bit of a hack for this...if you're drilling on the ground you can put your foot down next to the drill so your leg stops the drill from spinning. Your leg is able to keep the drill stable much better than your arms and wrist alone. This works perfectly for cordless hammer drill applications but I haven't tried it with the really powerful drills. This method plus safety clutch would be ideal.
But do you feel like Bruce Willis or Ben Affleck in Armageddon?
I’ve definitely been doing a lot of drilling but not saving the world 😂
How do you drill into a wall.. So far, I'm not impressed… I'm not interested in the chisel part…I need to drill holes and a solid wall.. of concrete… which setting is for hammer and drill at the same time? which way do you set the control… The Back switch is a mystery?
Turn the dial to Hammer and drill, then drill into the concrete wall. It is easy
@@BacktoCountry 2 Minutes later still not thru the wall... I wish it was easy.. leaning 200 pounds into it...
@@CalitranoN If it is drilling and Hammering but not penetrating then the problem is most likely the bit
I see this common mistake.
As a general contractor myself.. People get sold That hammer drills can go through five inch bear concrete.. If anything you're gonna wear and tear the motor and kill it😅 Get a real rotary hammer drill.. And yes they make them with batteries..😅😅😊😅😅😢
That’s great if you are a contractor and use it all the time, definitely worth the money for high end quality. However IMHO, for the average Joe who will use it once in a while the cheaper one is a better more affordable option.
За 20 лет работ только такими перфораторами и пользовался .Жёлтый Енхель,синий Stern.менял иногда сгоревшие якоря и щетки.Но все же это бытовой уровень
¿¿¿Are both switches supposed to be on the same mode fr it to work properly???
I imagine so, I’ve only used it in hammer drill mode so I honestly haven’t messed with the switches
Probably help if you put the drill in forward instead of reverse...
A real time saver for sure 😉😂
