GBH 18V-26 is a 7 years old, today the whole 18v bosch sds hammer range have the kickback, as on almost 70% of the drill driver range and the same on 18v angle grinder. the newest since 2 years have even more precise and efficient kbc.
Hello, I really like your videos and the tests, I am writing from Santiago de Chile and I am a fan of tools and Jeeps, the kickback test is excellent. I think safety is very important, so I bought the Bosch GBH 18 volt 26D Rotary Hammer now that had Kickback I think that Bosch was the pioneer in tool safety systems after that all the others have followed, Hilti I think it was the second brand to worry about safety... but Bosch stands out because now in almost all its tools it has integrated security, it also has the angle grinder with a lot of security.... cordial greetings from Santiago de Chile....
Would have been good to manually spin the drills to see which ones are gyro based vs current spike. Also would have been good to quantify the angle of rotation. The Bosch/Ramset and Makita definitely had the smallest rotation.
Yes I think angle is the way to go to properly quantify, but done with the drill vertical so its weight doesn't affect its rotation. But, gotta build more of a rig for that so I just went with this simple test for now. Measuring actual acceleration on the handle would be great too, but it's tricky to position the accelerometer so that the readings are comparable between different tool shapes. Edit: looks like the Hilti and Milwaukees are accelerometer-based and (maybe the dewalt). I was sure the hikoki was too cos they say they have accelerometers in their drills, but rotating the tool didn't do anything. If this video gets decent traction I'll build the better rig & follow this stuff up more in future
Good catch. But, I ended up going with the shorter screw distance for most of these because that was the most reliable way to trigger the electronic braking . I started off doing the longer screw but that would often just trigger the clutch and not the kickback control. I tried to only count the runs that didn't use the clutch (the smaller Milwaukee and the hikoki had very light clutches that would go as well as the kickback controls), and so most of those ended up short like you saw in the video
@@BoltahDownunder oh ok. Thank you for checking that. I think I'm still going to get one to replace my craftsman one since that one vibrates like crazy.
Good idea! Looks like that only works for the Hilti and Milwaukees and (maybe the DeWalt, it worked sometimes). So I guess those ones are accelerometer based feedback and the others use motor current changes or something else
@@BoltahDownunder Bosch Also can test like that They built it on accelerometer based feedback Your Bosch GBH18V-26D also have the KickBackControl from Bosch Bosch ,Hilti , Milwaukee is the 3 brands that i surely when test like that , they will alway active immediately because some of my friends have all of thems
Incorrect. You can see the lights flashing on all the drills that have them, and I did many runs and only included those where the safety feature activated.

Lots of new rotohammers there! Looking forward to their tests

Good one, but might not enough as some of them might have delay start function, really want to see how it work when they all running at full speed.

Would you happen to know if the AEG/Ridgid have the anti-kickback feature on them?
It doesn't seem to. I just tried it

Hi you should test the Hilti te6a22 if havent done been running it for 6 montgs very good machine
You don't have FLEX there do you
Nope, not available here. Wanna send me one to try?
, just take your drill , shake your hand at once , you can easily test the KickBackControl Mode
Good idea! Looks like that only works for the Hilti and Milwaukees and (maybe the DeWalt, it worked sometimes). So I guess those ones are accelerometer based feedback and the others use motor current changes or something else

Your Bosch GBH18V-26D also have the KickBackControl from Bosch

This is a non test as you are so chicken you release the button, causing the machine to stop before any clutch safety kicks in.
