This...or the DeWalt SDS max also on sale...? I feel like the DeWalt might be overkill for my needs, but I do like buying one tool for life.
Can anyone chime in in the limitations of SDS Plus vs Max?
Do you mean the SCH273B? That's also SDS Plus; the "20V MAX" in its title is marketing for 18v.
SDS Plus is <=1" and Max is larger. It's not like a chuck where you can put a 1.5" spade into a light-duty 3/8" drill and just take forever; a 1.5" SDS Plus bit simply doesn't exist from a reputable manufacturer.
I see pros using SDS Max for ground-rod driving and larger pipe entrances (think main supplies). I can't imagine holding a Max to drill a 5/16" tapcon or chipping tile.
So depends on your use case, but in my accomplished homeowner use I've never needed larger than SDS Plus.

Yes the 273, and thank you for the detailed response. Do you know if the larger max is backwards compatible with the smaller "plus" bits?
