Review on HC5091 SDS Max Speed X Concrete Drilling: Faster, Stronger, and More Efficient by Chris Chincuanco

I bought this drill along with several other SDS Max rock drills to drill holes in rock to install T-stands and 8x8 wood posts. I bought almost the entire set from 1/2" to 2" 1/2" and all are designed to drill holes at least 16" deep. These bits were no match for the bedrock. For a T-post, I drilled a hole that was 2 1/2" in diameter and 16" deep. Depending on how hard the rock was, the whole thing took 1 to 5 minutes from start to finish. After drilling a few holes, I attempted to drill the fist of a pilot hole with a 1" drill bit. This drill cut through the rock and it was oil. Then I finished with a 2 1/2" bit. Not only did this reduce drilling time to a consistent minute or so per hole, but the 2 1/2" bit cut through the rock with ease. Wear, but always works still good and the smaller parts still look new (but used) I will test them in concrete and expect the same performance as long as I don't hit the rebar.
