I own the Dewalt 2 inch 60V rotary hammer you linked and it is totally awesome. You’ll be blown away by it. It’s totally worth it.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You might want to make sure to just use the huge 12ah batteries that it comes with… might be a lot of power demand fire smaller 60V batteries… but I regularly use mine with the smaller batteries and I’ve never had a problem. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I mostly use it for drilling 2 inch holes in 8” concrete walls for bringing conduit into basements and crawl spaces. It goes through amazingly easily. Everyone who has tried mine has been totally blown away… probably about 8 professionals and contractors.<br>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am going to try out the Nuance OSPREY PowerRack as a ground mount option that does not require an excavator. I am wondering two things about it:</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>1. Does anyone have experience with this, and do you like it?</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>2. What drill do you use for the drive rod? </div>
<div>
<div>It seems like the Milwaukee 2" SDS max drill is the standard - <a href="https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/5342-21" target="_blank"><span id="m_-5767024460902455461mt-tracked-link_0_1697105388530" style="color:red"></span>https://www.milwaukeetool.com/Products/5342-21</a></div>
<div>I am wondering if it is possible to use a cordless drill though. DeWalt makes both a cordless and corded version that claim to have the same impact energy as each other, although both are less than the Milwaukee Drill. Milwaukee has 19.9 ft-lbs of energy
and the DeWalt ones have 19.4 Joules, which is 14.3 ft-lbs of energy.</div>
<div>Cordless Kit - <a href="https://www.dewalt.com/product/dch773y2/60v-max-2-brushless-cordless-sds-max-combination-rotary-hammer-kit" target="_blank"><span id="m_-5767024460902455461mt-tracked-link_0_1697105388531" style="color:red"></span>https://www.dewalt.com/product/dch773y2/60v-max-2-brushless-cordless-sds-max-combination-rotary-hammer-kit</a></div>
<div>Corded Kit - <a href="https://www.dewalt.com/product/d25773k/2-sds-max-rotary-hammer" target="_blank"><span id="m_-5767024460902455461mt-tracked-link_0_1697105388532" style="color:red"></span>https://www.dewalt.com/product/d25773k/2-sds-max-rotary-hammer</a></div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The cordless drill is tempting because I already have a bunch of DeWalt equipment, and it would be nice to avoid needing a generator or some very long extension cords.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks!</div>
<div>-Dave</div>
