The DEWALT DW5891 is a rugged steel adapter built for professionals and serious DIYers who want one rotary hammer to handle more jobs. It converts the tool's SDS Max fitment to accept standard SDS Plus bits, so you can switch between chisels, drills, and other bits without buying a second hammer.
This adapter is specifically for rotary hammers with a rotation-only mode. Before you order, confirm your hammer has that selector setting—if it only drills and hammers, check that rotation (drill) mode is available. That's what makes the DW5891 compatible.
Which Hammers Work with the DEWALT DW5891?
Any SDS Max rotary hammer with a rotation-only mode can use this adapter. Most DEWALT SDS Max hammers (like the D25300 series) and other major brands that offer rotation-only will work, but always verify with your tool's manual. The adapter does not add rotation capability to a hammer that lacks it.
Expanding Your Bit Options
Accepts SDS Plus shank bits—widely available and affordable for drilling and chipping.
Can be combined with a compatible SDS Plus to 1/2-inch chuck adapter (sold separately) so you can use standard round-shank drill bits.
Steel construction reduces wear and keeps the bit locked during heavy use.
If you're tired of switching tools or buying duplicate hammers, the DW5891 is a simple, cost-effective solution that fits your existing SDS Max rotary hammer.

Product Details
Get More From Your Rotary Hammer
The DW5891 turns a single SDS Max rotary hammer into a multi-purpose tool. With just one adapter, you gain access to the huge range of SDS Plus bits—from masonry drills to chisels—without investing in a separate hammer.
Compatibility Checklist
Hammer must have a rotation-only mode (drill mode).
Hammer must accept SDS Max shanks.
The adapter is for rotary hammers, not SDS Max spline drive hammers.
Built to Work
Steel construction and a precise fit mean less vibration and better power transfer. The adapter is easy to insert and remove, so you can switch between applications in seconds.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the DW5891 work with my SDS Max hammer if it doesn't have rotation-only mode?
No. The adapter requires a rotation-only mode. If your hammer only has hammer-only and hammer/drill modes, it won't have the rotation capability this adapter needs.
Can I use SDS Plus chisels with this adapter?
Yes, SDS Plus chisels with a compatible shank will work, but make sure your hammer is set to the appropriate mode for chiseling (if available).
Does this adapter include a 1/2-inch chuck?
No, the adapter accepts SDS Plus bits only. You can use a separate SDS Plus to 1/2-inch chuck adapter for standard drill bits.
What is the maximum drilling capacity with this adapter?
The adapter itself doesn't change the hammer's rated capacity; it allows SDS Plus bits. Use bits within the hammer's manufacturer recommendations.

Solid adapter
I was skeptical about using an adapter, but this one is solid. It fits tightly and there's no wobble. I've used it with several bits and it holds them securely. It doesn't affect drilling performance. It's a simple way to expand my tool's versatility.
