SDS Drills

Sometimes referred to as hammer or chisel drills, cordless SDS drills are designed for heavy-duty drilling. If you need to drill your way through brick, steel, or concrete, a cordless SDS hammer drill will make your tasks easy.

What makes this type of drill different from the rest is its hammering action. While the drill bit spins, it also “punches” its way through the work surface. You will need a cordless SDS hammer drill if you’re planning to push cables through an exterior wall.
