![]() ![]() I suppose if one didn't already own a hammer drill, this would be likely outperform any non-SDS hammer drill. Well, that goes back tomorrow and I'll just pick up it's big brother. So I check the customer questions and sure enough, when asked if this could chisel- the answer was no. The dial is missing something, uh, critical. ![]() I get it home, take it out of the box and then look at it closely. But I've discovered most electricians I talked to throw those away when they come across them.So I picked up the rotary hammer that is part of the Ryobi Days bundle, thinking it would be a good addition to my wall (let's just be honest here, I may have a completionist problem) and it would be very useful when I finally demo the slate tile in my kitchen later this summer. And they all have to be fuse panels not breakers. And two House service panels or sub panels for 60 amps or at least 40 amps. Need a 100 amp or better yet a 120 amp safety disconnect switch. I'm still trying to find a vintage electrical hardware, good working order. Apparently they had listed it with shipping available but message me that it was a mistake and it was a pickup only. I missed my chance to get a New Old Stock set of panel boxes from somebody on ebay, they weren't willing to ship. But I like to try to keep older homes with Village appliances vintage. And I'll often fix some of them because of a minor Bend or flaw. LOL I get annoyed at people to throw away old electric fixtures that are in good working order or don't work but are excellent cosmetics. I mostly wanted it because I acquired over time and electrical box that had the same type of plate cover but the innards had one switch that fit the opening and a light on another one but the other two or one was blank. It was standard size outlet box however the plate cover had 3 oe 4 openings in it of two prong receptacles. I even seen one outlet that I wished I could have, I even offered the homeowner to upgrade it for just materials costs just so I could take the old one. You wouldn't believe how many people would have an older home and upgrade only 80 or 90% of their outlets and leave a few of the old two prong ones around. More often it would be used in an outlet that didn't even have a third prong. Then with a magnet attach the ground wire to the light-housing. Once there was a bathroom that I was working in which had no Outlets and rather than run an extension cord out the door along the hall into another room, (which is very dangerous especially when people are still living in the home & around), I unscrewed one of the four bulbs above the sink and put the two prong Edison bulb adapter in it and was able to plug in. Since the majority of my work is in older homes, really old homes, I bought it right away and found that I've been using it more than expected. It was a little over 7 ft long, and it had a a female three prong on one end but on the male end it was a two-prong with a long green wire coming out before the plug end with a horseshoe electrical connector on it. ![]() It was ideal for most of my corded hand tools. (Anothe long Tangent of mine that you don't have to read, if you are sane) : I actually was fortunate enough to find a very unique extension cord at a thrift store. I just need the good Power and make sure I get myself only a 6 ft extension cord anything more than that it's just cumbersome and awkward to have while working on a job in a small room. ![]() If I'm ever going to be chiseling tile away I'm going to be in a bathroom or a kitchen where there's an outlet. But I borrowed my friend's Hilti corded one. I thought I had to have the cordless because for most of my work cordless always seems to work out best for me. I can't even find a used SDS hammer drill in any brand for that price. That corded one that you linked to is an excellent price, and I've heard that it has plenty of power and nothing but good things about it. I think the more expensive 1-in cordless would be the way to go, just can't afford it right now. But after a lot of research and talking to a lot of people. Personally I wanted to get the P222 for the exact same reason you wanted it the hammer only mode so I can remove tile. Although it looked the same as the old discontinued P222 they did not put the hammer only function on it so people wouldn't complain anymore. Ryobi knew about this which is why when they made the newer replacement brushless compact, they addressed it. I checked a lot of reviews and they said although it's there, it's only good for some wall tile, old stuff, newer stuff doesn't come off too easily. P222 Had a Hammer only mode but everybody I've ever spoken to that uses it tell me that it's crap. ![]()
