SDS bits are for chiseling and masonry and require and SDS chuck (bit holder). Regular wood or metal drilling bits use a standard chuck. The description says you can easily select between hammering, chiseling, or drill only mode but the standard drilling chuck is not included with this drill. I confirmed with Dewalt that this model only comes with the SDS chuck, so you will not be able to use wood or metal bits without a separate adapter.

I tried grunting my way through using a hammer drill to sink anchors in concrete. Then I went and bought one of these, and boy am I glad I did.

I didn't even break a sweat using this thing. Drilling through concrete was about as close to effortless as it could get. I was drilling 3/4" holes in poured concrete and it was *easy*. The drill did all the work for me. 3/4" holes 2" deep took less than 30 seconds to drill. Oh, I was even able to do it using 1 hand to balance the tool while it did the rest of the work.

If you're a DIYer at home like me, you do *not* need to spend more on one of the larger L shaped rotary hammers. This thing is absolutely *perfect* for anything the average DIYer could possibly throw at it.

I have owned this drill for almost two years and put it to heavy use. I have drilled 1/2 inch holes through 6 inches of 50 year old concrete, used the chisel to break through stucco and concrete. It has performed flawlessly. This drill has an SDS chuck and accepts only SDS bits and drills, so if you are looking for a light duty hammer drill, buy one with a regular drill chuck. But for heavy duty work, this drill is great.

Love this drill. I am just a DIY'er and it does everything I have asked of it. goes through concrete like "butta"

The price is good and shipping is prompt. The usasge of the DEWALT D25203K 1" 3-Mode D-Handle SDS Hammer is just as good as it's higher price competitor item.
