Thanks for the informative and relatively laid back comparison. I like that you mention where the differences are minimal so most of us can then make a judgement based on very similar features.
Have you done anymore with the Bosch Flexiclick SDS attachment? It'd be hilarious if that adapter and a ryobi drill could beat these two. I guess that Bosch attachmwnt costs more than these rotohammers with a battery and charger, though
Another attempt at making a drill anything, drive anything DIY super drill. The Bosch easy hammer is much better executed IMO, but then it's a much newer design. They would've learnt from the Skil thing
But it stands up by itself, and that's good for the diy market I guess? Holding it by the front post instead of a proper side handle is bloody awful too
All the other drills in that chart are proper SDS drills whereas from what I read these two things are just old fashioned Hammer Drills will an SDS sort of chuck on them. These would have been so much of a better balanced drill if the battery was moved back.
They are actually proper SDS hammers inside, believe it or not! Some of these tiny hammers have a spring loaded thing inside (like the flexiclick) but near as I can tell these actually have the proper mechanism. Just very small and with a weak old motor
Looks like I'll have to! But I'm 99.99% those reviews are wrong, as hammer/combi drills and rotary hammers work very differently. This drill has the small chin under the chuck which accommodates the drive shaft, and it also hammers without pressing onto the material, which combi hammers cannot do
Correct me if I'm wrong but one difference between a hammer drill and a rotary hammer is the rotary hammer has the option of not spinning. That's my non-expert impression. Still learning here, welcome to be proven wrong.
@@jb888888888 No the hammer only mode only comes on larger rotary hammers, these tiny ones don't have enough energy to do any chipping so no hammer only mode.

Yeah I actually found a whole set with the driver too. It's quite nice, will post something about it soon
They are all made by Chervon
Lol. They could have just included an SDS to 1/4 hex adapter

That battery placement is awful. They're saving maybe 20mm max in tool height but making it way more awkward and front heavy

@@BoltahDownunder Not according to reviews on Amazon UK.
Maybe you need to open one up to see the mechanism inside.

Red ones go faster. That's just science.
