How you can compare different products?


Try to compare same product! :)

For example DeWalt DCH133 and Bosch GBH 18V-26. Both has same impact energy ( 2, 6J )

Your using a compact Bosch and full size dewalt and Makita

This test is like comparing a pistol to two assault rifles to see which one is better.

[chengliu]

It seems to me that all three are pretty comparable and the best solution would be to just go with whichever brand you already own the batteries for.

[WizRumburak]

When it comes to precision of a hole nothing beats Bosch.
Is NOT only about power.
Precision it is important. To be able to start soft in a very precise, specific place, be it concrete or brickwall.

[mrclive]

Don't push so hard, you're making it harder for the machine to do its work. The bit needs room to recoil after each impact.

[martystamey]

We buy about 50 bosch hammer drills a year mab more. Well pleased!! But its hard to beat the new dewalt radio. A salesman gave me one and i love it!!

[michaelschiller]

Going by the the vibration of that dewalt I'd say you'd have tennis elbow in no time! I'd go for the smooth bosch

[mikekahotea]

I used to be a Bosch man, they had good cordless machinery but for some unknown reason the batteries kept dying out on me .Paid lots of money for that set, ended up selling them, before that was my old DeWalt cordless . I realised then I made a big mistake selling my DeWalt s

[czulaify]

Is the makita running backwards? or it is just a camerathing.. It seem so though

[angelmurga]

Cuando empiezas a usar las herramientas y las empiezas a conocer te vas dando cuenta de sus defectos y virtudes, yo me decidí por Dewalt porque todos mis compañeros tenían Dewalt y ya me acostumbré tengo puras pilas Dewalt y ya solo compro herramienta Dewalt cuando alguien me presta una herramienta dígase Makita o Bosch, la uso pero no me siento Agusto, no quiero decir que sea mala solo que ya me acostumbré a Dewalt y solo uso Dewalt. Sé que makita y bosh son buenas pero como dicen por ahí, en gustos se rompen géneros. No está por demás decir que a mis herramientas Dewalt les exijo mucho y afortunadamente me han respondido como yo espero. Cómo anécdota les diré que un vez trabajando en un edificio de 10 pisos se me cayó un impact drill y lo fui a recojer al primer piso y no le pasó nada seguido trabajando normal, sólo un poco enlodado porque había llovido en la mañana.

[hvacae]

Of all those brands you cant go wrong with them its a matter of your choice...ill rate dewalt as slightly ahead cause its offer a less money with same performance and toughness

[SS--CAL]

When in chipping mode dont push so hard and let the bit do the work by jumping up and down.

[emmettturner]

LOL at all the people saying he pushed DeWALT harder.

You need to see Boltah Downunder. He was not a DeWALT fan when he started his channel all about comparing rotary hammers, but they won him over during testing. The DCH133 here gets high marks in particular. It doesn’t have any of the fancy impact dampening and it’s a long boy due to the D-handle and in-line motor design but it’s punching way above its price point. It literally outperforms the more expensive DeWALT XR rotary hammers.

[stephenbarry]

There all good makes I had them all my self go for the best deals on these .but he was stroking the dewalt more, his in love with dewalt .

[aneseed]

cheers for ya time n effort mate... how do the batterys stack up against one another...

[bluecrafter_]

That not fair comparison you compared the smallest Bosch to biggest Makita and DeWalt . Bosch has a brand new rotary hammer with 5j and would destroy DeWalt an makita

[typhoontim]

Looks like you were pushing harder on the DeWalt!!

[Ideas-ifok]

what to see when purchasing sds do I go for 18v 2J sds or 36v 1.7j sds both are bosch

[whitacrebespoke]

Look at the wobble on the dewalt though use a 5mm bit for a 7mm plug.
