Professional 26mm 800W SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill with Quick Chuck | TRH8026S

So you've got a crew drilling anchor holes in concrete all day, or maybe someone's chasing conduit runs through block walls, and this is what you hand them — an 800W SDS-plus hammer that actually hits hard enough to make fast work of a 26mm hole without bogging down.

It's not really for light framing or occasional home use, because what it does is deliver 3 joules of impact energy at 4000 impacts per minute, and that's enough to rattle your wrists if you're not used to it, but variable speed trigger (0-900 rpm) helps you start the bit without skidding off a glazed surfce.

The quick-change chuck is a nice touch — you can swap bits in seconds without a key, and it takes standerd SDS-plus shanks up to 26mm, though most buyers go with teh 20mm or 22mm bits for common rebar work and the 26mm is really for heavy-duty anchors or core drilling (usually 2-4 weeks lead time on that diameter).

We clock the no-load speed at about 900 rpm on the high end, but honestly the impact rate is what matters here, and at 4000 bpm it tears through reinforced concrete pretty much as fast as you'd expect for an 800W unit, though it's not a demolition hammer — don't try to chip out a whole slab with it.

It ships in a 41cm by 25.5cm by 42cm box at 2.5kg, which is lighter than some competitors at this spec level, so freight costs aren't as painful, and it's CE certified so it'll pass most site inspections without hassle.
