Milwaukee M18 1-3/4' SDS MAX Rotary Hammer Review and Chiseling Concrete 2718-20, 2718-22, 2718-21

Milwaukee M18 1 3/4" SDS Max Rotary Hammer Review and Chiseling Concrete 2718-20
This is a review and demonstration of the Milwaukee M18 Brushless Rotary Hammer model 2718-20. I got this from The Home Depot as a kit (model 2712-22), which includes the brushless 1¾” SDS-MAX rotary hammer (model 2718-20), two M18, 18 volt, REDLITHIUM™, high output, HD12.0, 12.0 aH hour batteries (model 48-11-1812), a Rapid Charger (model 48-59-1808), a tube of grease, and a storage suitcase. In this video, I chisel concrete, blacktop, and mortar with a 3" scaling chisel as part of a driveway repair. Anti-vibration works well as does the AutoStop E-clutch. Batteries and charge time could be an issue for some professionals though. There's also one thing that isn't included with the tool that would be helpful. I also briefly talk about One Key™ and the app.

This is another fine Milwaukee tool designed for the professional! It drills, chisels, and chips concrete, blacktop, brick, and soil with ease. From my days of working on a blacktop crew, I must admit this thing is much easier to lug around than a 50 lbs jackhammer. It only weighs 25 lbs when outfitted with a battery and chisel. Is this rotary hammer as strong as a 50 lbs jackhammer with a compressor? No, but it's still AWESOME! #milwaukeetool

Looks like a beast. I have the 1 1/8 with dust extractor. done some chipping with it for floor drains but mainly used for anchors. I'd love to give this beast a go

[daveh]

I needed one so thanks for convincing me!

[jerryhoskins]

Excellent review, SUBSCRIBED and thanks

[robertscobey]

I don’t know why I need none of these but I really do.

[mrkortnikelly]

solid video. surprised you don't have more views/subs.

[alexoviksdemetriosadti]

honest review man!! No battery would get the more than what, a lame 25-35 minutes when chipping? Not to mention, I need to core hole 4" or 5" into house outside wall for boiler venting, the only battery would make is the MX power pack 100V battery Milwaukee has, but not an 18V, no matter the Ah is built for..yea like this guy chipping (shaving?) concrete underneath asphalt.

[jonnyleo]

i cant decide if i should buy this or not or a corded one. The batterys are nice to use on my other tools but in terms of chipping concrete while doing base plumbing work im undecided, espeically at a $1500 price tag

[kctyphoon]

I swear - i wish they would just make a small 30lb m18 jackhammer.

[delwingoss]

Yeah.. it's a really great rotohammer but it really discharges batteries fast when using anything bigger than a 1 1/8 masonry bit. Four batteries and I can't keep one charged when drilling back to back holes.. but it's a great rotohammer. Just be prepared to use 4 newer batteries (about $1200 worth of batteries) with two chargers. If your batteries are over 2 years old? You might need six.

Will this work good for a mechanic to get stuck bushings out?

[joemendez]

I wanna see the how the new forge works. From what they say three 6.0 batteries and you should be able to run all day no issue

[wantsomemor]

So is this like a bigger badder version of the other m18 fuel version?

[logansteyer]

Great Video. I purchased this tool but it unfortunately it is on back order. I’m currently redoing my trailer and am in the middle of building my shelves.

Could you tell me the dimensions of the hard case it comes in? I would really appreciate it and it would help me a ton!!

[Gravy_Jones]

I hope you're just going to random people's driveways and breaking stuff.

Also can you do another video showing the drill bits in action?

[mattseymour]

I take it not ideal for all day use like an electric version?

[davidthecardcollector]

That's a nice hammer drill. I probably could have busted out the 4 inch bag concrete poured porch landing with that.

[garyc]

What is the longest bit options? seems the depth is limited until you get to the body of the hammer.

[fredbest]

how well do these cut through sandstone?

[astroid]

Can U chisel with a masonry drill bit?

[samsharma]

Is it common for these rotary hammers to not have a reverse/forward switch for drilling mode ?
