ENEACRO 1-1/4 Inch SDS-Plus 12.5 Amp Heavy Duty Rotary Hammer Drill

While working as the property manager for our neighborhood HOA, it fell on me to repair the security fence around our swimming pool. Several of the chainlink fence posts had rotted out flush with the concrete. Post anchors were the perfect solution, but each required four holes to be drilled into the concrete. A local pawn shop wanted $400 for a beat-up and filthy Hilti hammer drill, but I bought this Eneacro new for a fraction of the price. It did the job well and we wrote it off as part of the repair cost since I never expected to need it again. Three years later and I needed to replace the posts under my deck. There were eight posts and each post base required four holes drilled into the existing concrete piers for anchors. I dug out the Eneacro and it worked flawlessly, with each hole taking 20-30 seconds. The packaging and extras are also very thoughtful. Molded case, comes with some SDS Plus drill bits and chisels to get you started, an extra set of armature brushes, grease for the hammer mechanism, and a tool to remove the grease cap (similar to an angle grinder wrench). I've only used mine twice in three years but it seems to be a quite well-made and powerful tool. I can't speak to the longevity, especially in professional applications where it will be used daily, but the extra set of brushes suggests that the manufacturer expects it to last for quite a long time. Very impressive for the money.

This is quite an upgrade from my old hammer drill. Very powerful and effective. The drill is heavy, which I found a bonus because I was drilling downwards into footers to set some post brackets using Simpson Strong Tie Titen HD screw anchors. Glad I invested in it before I started my project.

Disclosure: I am supposed to get a 10-piece screwdriver set from EneAcro for writing this review. So, here we go: I bought my ENEACRO 1-1/4 Inch SDS-Plus 12.5 Amp Heavy Duty Rotary Hammer Drill on 10/3/2020. It arrived in a few days, just as expected. The hammer drill is not really light (16.4 pounds according to the description), but the 360 degree handle which can be easily adjusted, makes it easy to hold the hammer drill tightly. The delivery also came with a nice case, 5 drill bits and lubricant. I have used the EneAcro to drill about 60 holes into the granite siding of my house to attach new shutters. This was not so easy but the EneAcro is a very powerful tool and within 30-60s each hole was drilled. Because I am new to hammer drilling I melted two of the drill bits they sent in he process. I then bought a Bosch high-quality drill and I also damaged that one, but managed to drill all the holes by that time. There is an interesting feature that did not make 100% sense to me: The EneAcro has 2 switches (one for turning drilling on/off, one for switching hammering on/off) for only 3 functions (drilling, hammering, and drilling & hammering). But since I always used drilling & hammering that did not really matter to me. One minor thing I would improve is the instruction manual (which is important to newbies like me): Some of the pictures have inserted numbers, but I am not sure where they are referenced (it’s not the exploded view, at least not all the time). It seems the manual uses the term “chisel” synonymous to hammer drill (“switching the chisel on/off”) which I am not familiar with and I also did not know what a “hex housing” or a “chuck body” is, and the chapter “Three function” on page 10 would benefit from more details, I believe. So overall I believe it’s a great tool and I feel it was a good purchase, but because of the documentation I only give 4 stars.

Had some foundation concrete left over from my house demo. Took care of them easily and broke them down to sizes I could carry away. Powerful tool for the money, I’d recommend.

Outstanding product for demo-ing kitchen and bathroom floor tile. I am glad I did not go with the heavier models because I could operate it with one hand and hold a Shop-Vac wand in the other hand to keep the dust down. A co-worker brought a much heavier and larger Milwaukee unit and we stopped using it because it was slower and much less effective. (Lesson Learned: I bought multiple chisels in a variety of widths. Surprisingly, the narrow 1" chisel that came with the unit was faster than the 3", 4", 5" widths I bought separately. The hammer impact was spread across too wide of an area on the wider chisels.)

I wish I bought this sooner! This saved me so much time in taking out the tile in my new home. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone taking out tile on their own. It was so easy to use and kind of fun, plus its way cheaper than hiring a contractor to do it.

Zipped right through 8" block for a dryer vent with a 4" bit. Heavy duty drill. Nice case and bits as a bonus.

Drill is awesome. Powerful , comfortable, and for a great price. I used with 3/4 inch cement bit and drilled 10 6 inch holes without a problem. Nice unit with case!

es un producto muy potente y en relacion desempeño calidad y precio, la verdad ecxelente calidad y bajo precio, me dejo satisfecho con los trabajos realizados en comparacion a otros equipos que habia visto con amigos. lo recomiendo ampliamente.

If you try to remove a foundation or a slab or demolish a building, this tool is too small for that, but it is a great hammer drill and good for chipping. Small bits of concrete.

I’ve been using this hammer drill to insert rebar into old concrete for a addition I’m building and so far it’s performed with out fault just drills the concrete with ease The hammer part for breaking concrete works to a fashion with slabs of 2” concrete but I would think it would break up a entire concrete footing

Este es un producto con buena relación calidad precio yo lo he ocupado en perforar y sin hacer fuerza realizó el trabajo, los plásticos son buenos. Lo único que no me gustó es que el sistema de amortiguador es muy rígido y se ciente el golpe de martillo en la mano. Fuera de ahí buen producto

Light weight and ease to use build quality is good speed great and the durability is ok, great tool to have
