There's a spring loaded leg that comes off the hammer that gets moved by the trigger. If it's not in the right position the hammer won't move back. Could be damage to the leg, the spring, or the trigger. Unfortunately, it'll probably have to go back to the factory, or at least to a gunsmith.

I have seen many aspirants using the normal V5 as well. But it is not water resistant

Ok thanks will give it a try

Amazfit Helio strap

Also curious to know if and when Helio Strap will push HRV data to apple health. Essentially that’s the key. Athlytic pulls what it can from Apple.

I’ve got the Milwaukee 18v SDS MAX drill, one of the best things Ive ever bought. Actually it’s my second me because the first one got stolen. I’ve got the normal 18v one for smaller work

Makita 18V hammer drill.

Have a mate who is through and through milwaukee, his batteries went flat so let me use my makita on a job we were on. He could.not believe how much more punch the makita has. You out them side by side and it is night and day for the makita.

Went with the AEG kit and its mint, I'm not nice to my tools either, every one I work with is rocking Milwaukee and even they rate it, for the price and warranty all of it is bang for your buck. Im not a brand whore either I claim no allegiance to any brand ive tried dewalt, makita and some Milwaukee and I definitely rate AEG for price to quality ratio. The multi tool is where they make there money though lol

Whatever option you pick, try to get on with a vacuum snorkel as an accessory.

Doesn’t work well for breaker work, but if you’re drilling into brick, then it’s a godsend on site clean up.

Even if your preferred manufacturer doesn’t have one, then the Festool accessory for the KHC would retro fit on using the depth gauge bar (that’s how it mounts to the KHC anyway). Or they have this suction one for drilling up to 12mm holes

Been a game changer for me when drilling out brick work.

I'd get the bigger one. More power never hurts.

They’d both work great for around the house. If the price isnt an issue, I personally think the upgrade is worth it. If you ever have to do masonry work, you’ll appreciate the difference. It doesn’t replace a proper SDS, but the 996B is the best hammer drill I’ve ever used.

The he dcd1007 is still on sale on amazon if you’re quick enough. Comes with 8ah and fast charger. $230 ish last I saw

I’ve always said “if you’re only gonna have 1 better have the big one. Rather have the power on tap and not need it than need it and not have it.”

Of course the ideal solution is both the big DCD996 hammer drill (I have a DCD999 FlexVolt Advantage) and a DCD800/DCD801 compact drill. The light weight is nice when you have to drill over head, or in tight spaces. The bigger hammer drill is all I’ve ever had and even with my smaller stature (5’7” and 125lbs) it’s never been a big issue to use the heavier drills. I replaced my old 18V DCD950 hammer drill with the DCD999 and they are both similar in size and weight (tenths of lbs of weight and fractions of inches in size.

Definitely sounds like you’re in hammer drill territory if you’re working with brick or even older concrete-type walls. Impact drivers won’t help for drilling they’re more for driving screws.

For what you’re describing (multi-material use, cordless, long-term value), a compact hammer drill/driver combo might be the best one-tool option. DEWALT and Makita have solid models that are still small enough for apartment use.

This post breaks down when/why you’d go hammer

Go into a hardware store and pick the cordless hammer drill that feels best in your hand or is your favorite color in your price range. They'll come in a kit with battery and charger. Any ~18v one except for the very cheapest will be fine. Brushless is better but not required

You can get an impact\hammer combination if you do actually want both in one tool.

Bosch flexi-click 12v and 18v have both a hammer and impact attachment. 12v is surprisingly powerful and will do most home jobs just fine.

Bosh pro is excellent quality too.

I bought this awhile back and it has been able to do anything ive needed including drilling through brick, concrete, top studs, etc. We used them at work daily and they held up for many years of daily use. Everyone will say red is better, or buy makita, everyone has different camps, but they're all the same. Whatever you pick, try and stick with the same brand for other tools so you can swap batteries. If you go red, look for the fuel 18V line as thats going to give you the power you need for tougher materials. This is a Drill/Driver/ Hammer Drill, plus a separate impact driver.

I wouldn't waste my time with the 36v. The 18v is plenty powerful for drilling holes and chipping. If you plan to use if on chisel mode for prolonged periods, you're far better off with a corded model as these tools will eat batteries. Fine to have battery at hand for a bit of finesing but wasting your time if you're relying on it for long periods of chisel mode

Dhr400. Is very good for watch it is. But for chiseling the xgt only chisel is lighter and very stronger in hits.

Please don't compare the dhr400 with dhr283 for example . The 400 is a real pneumatic SDs max and is very good if you understand his limits. It is a cordless tool for mobility. If you have power supply don't waste money and ruin the tool by abusing it.

All rotary hammers will ruin very fast if used major time on just hammering. Just hammers will last veeeeery longer

If you want punch on battery, go for XGT. I have DHR243 though and it’s a beast. IMHO last bearable model with most punch from LXT. 36V is a whole kilo heavier. DHR243 is still, as I say, bearable. And if you don’t plan to remove whole concrete floors with it, you shall be fine. ;)

the single 18V LXT will be way to weak for you for sure. That DHR400ZKN will be heavy and two batteries. Not sure how deep you're in LXT system but maybe it's working looking for some XGT options?

The metal chucks on the DHP486Z and DHP489Z are a nice addition, but they do add a fair bit to the price. I don't have personal experience with the plastic ones, but the metal one has held up well.

As for the battery, the 3Ah ones would probably be fine, but they aren't the best if your kid is going to get more Makita tools. Most people would probably recommend sticking to the 5Ah and 2Ah batteries. The 3, 4, 5, and 6Ah batteries all weigh about the same, but the 5Ah is the sweet spot in terms of power and duration for high power tools. 2Ah is nice for the lower weight on things like drills and impacts, but does cut some of the power compared to the higher Ah batteries.

What do you mean about "combo nut driver?" Is this maybe from a class syllabus? That might be a hint to look for a drill/driver combo. Often those are a much better value than the tool alone as they will bundle the two tools with one or two batteries and a charger.

The drill will do different work than an impact (nut) driver. It has a clutch but does not do high torque impacts. But it does hammer for concrete drilling, and other kinds of drilling will work best with the drill. I think a pipe fitter is likely to need both.

484 is a better choice if price is in range.

DHP489

Down voted for asking a cordless drill question. Wow.

Handle. Where did you get it.

If yoi like that, look at the Hercules 20V. Videos on YouTube shows it is up there with the big boys.
