Cordless Hammer Drill Challenge 2015 . – Bosch, Dewalt, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee

Bosch, Dewalt, Makita, Metabo, Milwaukee

The hammer drill is the most popular cordless power tool, so no surprise these are the tools we see manufacturers reinvent every couple of years.

For tool weight they felt pretty close but the Dewalt was the clear winner here and Makita came in as the heaviest. We did measure with the handles and the Makita long handle alone may have been the difference.

TOOL WEIGHTS: Bosch 5.50 lbs, Dewalt 5.05 lbs, Makita 6.05 lbs, Metabo 5.70 lbs, Milwaukee 5.75 lbs

Manufacturer Torque Reported: Bosch HDH181X - 752 in-lbs, Dewalt DCD995 - 650 UWO (best guess 800 in-lbs), Makita XPH07 – 1,090 in-lbs,Metabo SB18LXT – 797 in-lbs, Milwaukee 2704 – 1200 in-lbs.

POWER/SPEED: Bosch 6:44, Dewalt 6:21, Makita 5:57, Metabo 5:45, Milwaukee 5:01

BATTERY LIFE: Bosch 39 (20 small/19 big), Dewalt 39 (20 small/19 big), Makita 57 (30 small/27 big), Metabo 80 (40 small/40 big), Milwaukee 72 (40 small/32 big)

Overall Performance:

Not very surprisingly to us the Milwaukee Hammer Drill 2704-22 performed the best overall. Naturally there is a bit of a leap frog effect with the technology improving so rapidly in brushless motors and Lithium battery technology. Milwaukee FUEL generation 2 is the newest tool in the bunch so naturally the expectation is to not just catch-up but go to the head of the pack. If we do this test again next year (which is likely as long as there is more to talk about than just 6.0Ah) will we see new competitors from Bosch, Dewalt or Metabo? If so will there be more power than 1,200 in lbs? Smaller footprint? Or will they bring new different innovations in safety, connectivity or otherwise?

MAKITA - The Aggressive Competitor

What is a good set of power tools to get:

Makita or DeWalt?

It's seem the hard question to answer. The previous topic, We offer you What DeWalt do.

And How About Makita?
Makita started as a power tool company back in 1910 when Makita Electric Works opened its doors and started repairing lighting equipment, motors and transformers. In 1958 Makita established itself as a power tool company when they started marketing the portable electric planner in Japan.

Today Makita power tool company is a large manufacture with seven manufacturing facilities globally. Makita offers a product line of over 350 different power tools. All though most professional power tool companies use NiMH battery technology to some degree, Makita uses it as the primary source. NiMH batteries allow Makita to give itself a longer run time than the traditional NiCad. Over the years with this battery innovation, Makita power tool company has provided a name in the cordless industry.

Makita jumped on board and came out with their new 18V lithium Ion, LXT Extreme in 2005.
Makita Tool Company makes a variety of Makita Power Tools and are known for their quality, but they are best known for the cordless drill.

To Make an Good Comparision between Makita and DeWalt, you also should consider between "sets" vs. individual tools, do consider things like battery compatibility, storage, the customer service policy, the effective technology, etc.

Some people said like that: "All my drills have the same battery, and that's awesome. Also think about which tools you want cordless: a jigsaw is really nice when cordless, but a cordless sawzall will leave you wanting for power". That's the important point for you
