Handle the full range of heavy-duty drilling and breaking tasks with a single, versatile tool using the Draper SDSHD1050D 1050W SDS+ Rotary Hammer Drill — a powerful, well-specified 4-function hammer drill that covers drilling in masonry, concrete, steel, and wood, hammer drilling, chiselling, and locked chisel breaking in one capable, compact package. Weighing just 3.4kg and delivering 3.0J of impact energy at up to 5,000 beats per minute, the SDSHD1050D offers a practical, productive balance of drilling capacity and breaking capability suited to builders, electricians, plumbers, plasterers, and general contractors who need a single drill to handle virtually every on-site drilling and light breaking task with confidence.
The four selectable functions give the SDSHD1050D exceptional operational versatility. Standard rotary drilling mode handles wood, metal, and plastic. Hammer drilling mode combines rotation with impact for fast, efficient drilling through masonry, brick, block, and concrete up to 26mm diameter — well beyond the capacity of standard percussion drills and suited to the anchor bolt and fixing holes commonly required in construction and renovation work. Chisel mode disengages the rotation for pure impact chiselling, ideal for light breaking, tile removal, and surface preparation, while chisel lock mode holds the chisel in a fixed angular position for consistent, precise chiselling along a set line.
The SDS Plus chuck system is the professional standard for rotary hammer drilling in this class — providing a locking, low-vibration bit connection that handles the sustained rotary impact loads of hammer drilling with significantly better performance and bit retention than standard keyed or keyless chucks. The included adjustable side handle can be repositioned to suit the working angle and provides a secure two-handed grip, while the depth rod allows drilling to a precise, repeatable depth — essential for anchor bolt installation and through-fixing work where consistent hole depth is critical.
A safety clutch provides essential protection against the sudden rotational kickback that can occur when a drill bit jams in hard material — disengaging the drive before the torque can twist the drill body and injure the operator, a particularly important safety feature on a 1,050W hammer drill used for large-diameter masonry work. The SDSHD1050D is supplied in a carry case with a flat chisel, pointed chisel, three SDS Plus drill bits, and a 2.2m cable with BS plug — ready for immediate professional deployment across the full range of drilling and chiselling applications.

FAQ Section
What are the four functions on the SDSHD1050D?
The SDSHD1050D offers four selectable operating modes. Rotary drill mode provides standard rotation for drilling wood, metal, and plastic. Hammer drill mode combines rotation with impact for drilling masonry, brick, block, and concrete. Chisel mode delivers pure impact without rotation for light breaking, tile removal, and chiselling. Chisel lock mode fixes the chisel at a set angular position for consistent, directional chiselling along a precise line.
What is the drilling capacity of the SDSHD1050D?
The SDSHD1050D can drill up to 26mm in masonry and concrete, 13mm in steel, and 42mm in wood — covering the full range of common drilling requirements encountered in construction, renovation, electrical, plumbing, and carpentry work.
What is a safety clutch and why is it important?
A safety clutch — sometimes called a torque limiting clutch — automatically disengages the drive when the drill bit jams in hard material, preventing the sudden rotational kickback that can violently twist the drill body and injure the operator. On a 1,050W hammer drill capable of generating significant torque, a safety clutch is an essential safety feature for large-diameter masonry drilling where bit binding is a real risk.
What is the difference between chisel mode and chisel lock mode?
In chisel mode the tool delivers pure impact without rotation, allowing the chisel to be used for breaking and chiselling while the operator controls the angle freely. Chisel lock mode fixes the chisel at a specific angular position relative to the tool body — useful when chiselling consistently along a straight line or working in a position where maintaining a precise chisel angle improves accuracy and efficiency.
How does the SDSHD1050D differ from the Expert PHD1050MAX SDS Max breaker?
The SDSHD1050D is a 4-function SDS Plus rotary hammer drill — primarily a drilling tool with hammer and chiselling capability. The PHD1050MAX is a dedicated SDS Max chisel-only breaker with no drilling function, delivering 25J of impact energy optimised entirely for breaking. The SDSHD1050D at 3.0J suits drilling and light chiselling tasks, while the PHD1050MAX is the correct choice when dedicated, sustained breaking performance is the primary requirement.
What accessories are supplied with the SDSHD1050D?
The SDSHD1050D comes supplied in a carry case with a flat chisel, pointed chisel, three SDS Plus drill bits, an adjustable side handle, a depth rod, and a 2.2m cable with BS plug — a comprehensive accessory kit covering the most common drilling and chiselling applications immediately from the box.
Is the SDSHD1050D suitable for anchor bolt installation?
Yes. The combination of 26mm masonry drilling capacity, depth rod for precise hole depths, and hammer drill function makes the SDSHD1050D well suited to drilling anchor bolt and chemical anchor holes in concrete, block, and brick to the exact depths specified by fixings manufacturers.
