What are you trying to do?

Not sure which tool you need? Start with the job, not the brand.

Tell us about the work and we’ll help you understand what your job requires, what the manufacturer evidence can and cannot determine, and what to check next. V0.1 covers one job: drilling holes in concrete.

How this site helps

1. Describe the job

Material, how you’ll drill, hole size, depth and workload — the conditions that actually matter.

2. See what the evidence can tell you

Understand which tool choices are genuinely supported and why simple “size = tool” rules can be misleading.

3. Verify before you drill

Get a practical list of what to confirm against the specific manufacturer’s stated capability before you proceed.

Understand your concrete drilling job

Hammer Drill vs Rotary Hammer

How the tool categories differ, why names alone don’t classify a tool, and why “concrete always means rotary hammer” is wrong.

SDS-Plus vs SDS-Max

What SDS actually is (a holder interface, not a tool type) and why there is no universal switch-over diameter.

Drill holes in concrete

Bits, working length, dust extraction and the safety checks before and during drilling.

What this site is not

This is not a shop, a brand’s sales page or an automatic “exact tool for your job” engine. It does not approve tools or drilling locations, and it makes no structural or dust-exposure compliance claims. Where evidence is insufficient it says so — and tells you what to verify next.
