The overall score is owner satisfaction weighted by how many reviews back it, so a high rating from few reviews counts for less. The bars below show where this model stands against the other power tools and workshop machinery we track in this category on price, popularity and size. Context, not marks against it, and our read of the data, not a lab test.
Overview
Running on an 18-volt battery at 1.5 amps and spinning at up to 1400 RPM, the 2712-20 offers a balance of speed and manageable weight at 6.9 pounds. That weight places it firmly in the mid-class cordless rotary hammer range, lighter than heavy corded units like the Bosch RH540M but heavier than compact sub-7-volt options.
With 1,000 reviews averaging 4.8 stars, this is one of the most credibly rated tools in the rotary hammer segment on the data available. That volume and rating combination is a strong indicator of consistent real-world satisfaction. At $349, it sits in the upper mid-range of cordless options here.
Based on the specs and verified owner reviews, the 2712-20 delivers on freedom from cords at a weight that is still manageable for overhead and confined-space work. The 18-volt platform compatibility means battery sharing with other tools on the same system is a practical advantage.
Pros
- 4.8-star rating across 1,000 reviews is among the strongest credibility signals in this batch
- 18-volt battery-powered for full cordless freedom
- 1400 RPM no-load speed supports efficient drilling through masonry
- 6.9-pound weight is reasonable for an 18-volt cordless hammer
Cons
- 0 units reported bought last month, so current market velocity is unclear
- 1.5-amp draw is relatively low and may reflect shorter battery runtime under load
- No listed dimensions limit size comparisons for storage and holster fit

Performance notes
The 2712-20 operates on an 18-volt battery with 1.5 amps at up to 1400 RPM. Its 6.9-pound weight is practical for extended cordless use without the fatigue that comes with heavier corded hammers. Battery platform compatibility is an important consideration since no battery is described in the listing specs provided.
What buyers say
Owners highlight the balance between power and portability as the primary reason for satisfaction. With 1,000 reviews at 4.8 stars, criticism is sparse but tends toward observations about battery runtime on extended masonry jobs rather than any structural complaint about the tool itself.
