DCH172 vs Granite! Runtime tests for DeWalt SDS rotary hammer

[@BoltahDownunder]

Frothers! The WOBBLE wasn't the drill after all! update here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qmjUlphne7aBi8k

Glad you found it, thanks for the update!!

[@Lee2k4]

It’s a little beast of a drill I don’t think I’ll ever use my combi drill again

Hi new subscriber here. Which one drills faster or powerful the dcd996 or dch172? I have 996 already and planning to buy 172. Btw, great video. Thanks

[@user-rt2uo3et5b]

A comparison with powerstack battery would be interesting 🤔

[@eduardoventura8864]

Nice video, can you also do the run test for the DCH072NT-XJ?

[@N1rOx]

Should start testing some hikoki. Love your channel btw, rotary hammers seem to get less love on youtube.

[@BoltahDownunder]

As a matter of fact I almost bought one yesterday! Just waiting for it to come on sale. And yeah Cheers, there's a lot to these hammers and I'm trying to understand myself and help demystify them for everyone. Glad you like it!

[@ConstantijnKool]

Are you also going to do the Dewalt dch273?

[@BoltahDownunder]

Yeah some day I will. I'll have to buy one first though, and I've got many other hammers in my collection to cover first

[@ryanrahdiana3150]

Compared to the Makita DHR 171, which one do you choose for anchor installation?

[@BoltahDownunder]

The DeWalt is a bit faster drilling but really they're similar enough that I'd use either one and let the other tools I need decide if I'm grabbing Makita or DeWalt that day

Will you try the DCH273?

[@6atlantis]

How much run out/chuck wobble is to be expected, especially on a smaller Bosch model? Mine seems to have a little wobble straight out of the box but I’m told by Bosch it’s normal, and other reviews I’ve read also say Bosch told them the same thing, it’s normal...

[@BoltahDownunder]

A bit is normal for sure; it's got some room in the chuck for the bit to slide. But normally it's only a problem at the surface before the bit gets in and becomes centred by the rotation. The amount of wobble I saw here only should be a problem if doing small holes like 5mm, then it can wear down the sides a bit. Deeper in it should be ok

Is it superior in performance to the Bosch GBH18V-21??? and the makita dhr171?

[@BoltahDownunder]

-no -about the same
