Shank differences
This Dewalt Model has a spline shank chuck. To use the accessories that are shown ie; sds plus bits, calls for an adapter that changes from spline to sds plus. This adapter does not come with hammer drill and must be purchased separately. Anyone buying the sds plus bits as shown will be quite upset when they can't use them right away. There are a number of adapters available: spline to max, & spline to a 1/4-20 threaded end to accept a hammer drill chuck for round type shanks. With these as part of the total kit, you have a very good hammer drill. You have a very good hammer drill if you choose to use only spline shank bits, also. ... Read more

Best rotary hammer made
I have been in the plumbing industry for 12 years and have been using a Dewalt 565K rotary hammer for the installation of gaslines for about 3 years. I have used just about every other rotary hammer on the market and in my opinion the 565K is by far the most reliable and BEST there is. I especially like the lightweight body and the dust cover where the bit slides in. More importantly I love the performance of the 565K (it's quick). As anyone in new construction will tell you time is of the essence. Definately a five star product. Thank you Dewalt for making my job much easier. John Sink, Kimmey Plumbing ... Read more

Light Weight "Roto-Hammer" Helpful in tight places!
I have used quite a few of these wrist "bangers" and ear "achers"...DeWalt seems to have found a nice balance of rotions per minutes and beats per minute. The "percussion" seems to be just right to make this drill extrememly efficient with bits 1/4" to 1/2" - seems to be pushing it to make it drill 3/4". It is a very handy drill for the tool box. I have used it to drill "perimeter holes" when adding some utility through the foundation-concrete wall - great! Also for drilling concrete anchor holes for Rawl-studs - super! ... Read more

Next Step Up
My Milwaukee hammer-drill was fine for green concrete and concrete block, but I had to get something less frustrating when I had to drill granite fieldstone. I got fed up with the Jacobs chuck loosening even when I tightened it with 10" visegrips locked on the chuck key. I ran down to Home Depot to get this, and I must say it was a big improvement if only for the SDS+ chuck. The SDS+ bits cost more but they seem to be better made. Also the rotary hammer puts more impact force into the bit. This model of the Hitachi has only drill and hammer-drill; no chipping mode. Despite the rating of 15/16", the maximum hole is less than 1/2" in hardened concrete or granite. Otherwise, it does as good of a job as any of the other brands and costs less. I have some jobs coming up that will require a bigger beast, and I plan to get one of the spline-drive big Hitachis for that.

This rotary hammer performs well and is priced right.
We currently own 12 Hitachi rotary hammers and have been very pleased with them. We have tried all other brands and we now choose Hitachi exclusively.We really like the price /performance of the DH38YE and the DH24PB. ... Read more

BEST CONCRETE ROTARY HAMMER IN THE BUSINESS!
I HAVE TESTED AND TESTED THIS TOOL AGAINST EVERY 1" ROTARY HAMMER IN THE BUSINESS. THE IMPRESSIVE HAMMER POWER IN THIS TOOL IS UNMATCHED. IN A 10 SECOND DRILLING CONTEST, (USUALLY DONE ON JOB SITES) THE HITACHI 1" GROUP WILL DRILL OVER 3" IN DEPTH. OTHER HAMMERS DO NOT EVEN COME CLOSE. I SUGGEST THAT YOU TRY THE CONTEST YOUR SELF. SEEING THE PROOF IS THE BEST MEDICINE. ... Read more

Good Hammer for the Non Concrete Pro
The previous reviewer is right ! This hammer is much more comfortable than others I have used and it does a good job as long as you do not go past the manufacturer's recommended hole size. To my knowledge it is the most powerful hammer that can do rotary only drilling. Since I may use it for everything from drilling a 1/4" hole in concrete, through making a 2 1/2" hole in wood to driving 10' ground rods in one day, it is perfect for my needs. I've used it with the optional SDS-Max chuck and a 1 1/8" Carbide bit through concrete and brick and it did a good job. Not as fast as some of the bigger hammers but my arms and wrist didn't hurt from hefting a big tool either! I have not noticed any bit wobble in any of the chucks (SDS +, SDS-Max or 3 Jaw) in using it for three months. By the way, I really like the quick change chuck system. It is really quick and easy. No trouble with a sloppy trigger either but the tool is fairly new. After prolonged use, almost 10 minutes continuously driving ground rods, I noticed the tool did get warm, but not hot. My point is this: I think this is a great tool for those, like me, that need a versatile rotary hammer but will not put it into all day,everyday use. If you are the local concrete drilling pro, you'll want a bigger, heavier(spelled alot more money) unit.

Brutally Effective!
From the time I held this tool in my hand, I realised that it was well balanced, and felt much lighter than the stated weight of 10 pounds. The three (3)modes of operation, namely: 1.rotation only, 2.rotation with hammer and 3.hammer only, make this a very versatile tool, combining a rotary hammer with a light duty demolition hammer. I was impressed by the extensive use of metal in the construction of the body of this drill: it screams "heavy duty".

The hammering mechanism is brutally effective in drilling through concrete, delivering powerful blows that literalily destroys the concrete.

On the downside however, there are three (3) minor problems that I have encountered:

1. The trigger speed control is a bit tricky, i.e. there is considerable trigger travel before rotation starts, but from start to full speed there is little travel making control a bit difficult.

2. There is noticeable wobbling of the drill bit even when the 3-jaw chuck is employed, this tends to expand hole size.

3.The jaw chuck cannot be or is not recomended for use in hammering mode. This eliminates the use of straight shank hammer bits that the Bosch chuck allows.

However, I would recomend this tool based on its overall performance. ... Read more
