Product Overview
Our SDS MAX Side Load Ground Rod Driver provides enhanced safety while maintaining rod integrity when driving ground rods. Engineered with an offset design, this driver eliminates overhead and ladder use by allowing you to load the ground rod from the side, reducing jobsite hazards. The ground rod driver still ensures full-depth driving with a top-load cup that drives the ground rod down to the finished depth. The tapered bearing design provides a secure grip without leaving rod gashes. This accessory is recommended for use with the MILWAUKEE® MX FUEL™ 27lb SDS MAX Demolition Hammer and is compatible with SDS MAX rotary hammers in hammer-only mode. It drives ½”, 5/8”, and ¾” copper-cladded, galvanized, and stainless-steel ground rods. Backed by a 2-year limited warranty, this side-load ground rod driver is built for durability and confidence in demanding conditions.
