Quick verdict

The RSDS18X expands a ONE+ collection into heavier masonry work. It combines a rotary hammer mechanism with chiselling settings for renovation tasks such as removing old tiles.

Key specifications

  • 18V ONE+ HP brushless motor

  • 2.5 J impact energy

  • Up to 26 mm drilling in concrete

  • Up to 1,400 rpm and 5,000 impacts per minute

  • SDS-plus chuck with variable-speed trigger

What we like

  • Auxiliary handle and depth guide support controlled drilling.

  • Chisel alignment helps position the bit for removal work.

  • LED lighting improves visibility around the hole.

What to consider

  • The RSDS18X-0 is a bare tool without battery or charger.

  • A rotary hammer is a substantial addition for occasional small holes; buy for the work you expect.

Who should buy it?

ONE+ owners planning renovation projects with concrete drilling, masonry fixings and light chiselling.

Final verdict

A useful step up within ONE+ when renovation work justifies a dedicated SDS-plus tool. Allow for suitable batteries in the overall budget.
