DeWalt DW5891 SDS-Max to SDS+ Adapter

Works great with my Milwaukee SDS Max Rotary Hammer 2717.

Husband approved! Product works so well; we initially purchased a different product at Home Depot that cost over $200 but this extender worked much better!!!!

Folks, the picture does not do justice. This thing is HUGE, one serious hunk of steel. It is made in Germany and comes in a cool DeWalt yellow twist case. I have only used it once, to chuck a 36" x 3/4" SDS Plus bit, but it worked perfectly and the heft and craftsmanship of the adapter leave no doubts whatsoever about its durability. When buying locally, SDS Plus bits seem to be cheaper and more plentiful than SDS Max bits. That said, if I know I'm going to use a bit a lot, I will order and wait for the proper SDS Max bit, but it's nice to have flexibility and access to cheaper SDS Plus bits. FYI I"m running these in the Makita HR4013C, a fantastic beast of a machine (and, like the DeWalt adapter, much bigger in real life).

I got this to be able to use some older bits for a previous drill I had. I upgraded to an SDS Max rotary hammer.This appears and feels like it's high quality, and I have had no problems with it the few times I have used it. It doesn't seem like it causes any loss of per-hit ftlb power, as I used some SDS Plus bits to anchor an animal escape ramp to our pool and it drilled through the concrete like soft butter.I'd recommend this to anyone. I am highly satisfied with the performance and quality of this adapter.

Didn't have time to do much research on these adapters, needed one ASAP, ...and the price seemed pretty good for the Dewalt so I ordered it. Now in my hands, I see what looks like a metal casting in the pictures is actually a plastic shroud over what I do suspect (and hope) is a metal bit release somewhere underneath this plastic shroud.I can't say if this is actually a bad design or not, or if it will stand the test of time, ...just not what I would expect to find on an extension/ adapter piece to a hammer drill.

I bought this product for my Bauer SDS hammer drill from harbor freight, so I could use smaller concrete bits and it worked perfect. I used it to drill 3/8 holes for 6x6 treated posts, I had to drill 80 holes and had no issues with this product!

Used it twice now I have $$39.00 bit stuck in it. Do not buy it. Dewalt has the worst warranty of all power tools.

SDS Max bits and attachments are not available at the big box stores. This adaptor will let you use SDS+ bits found at HD and Lowes when you don't have time to order a SDS MAX bit or go to Harbor Freight. I have found it to work well and think that demo hammers ought to just come with one of these to make them more flexible in application. Only downside is that it makes the tool much longer. Otherwise, good gadget that most of us need in our tool kits.
