Ryobi ONE+ SDS Plus Rotary Hammer
Score: 72/100Rankings
The Bosch 1191VSRK is a lightweight, corded hammer drill offering an exceptional power-to-weight ratio with a 7 A motor and 48,000 BPM impact rate. Its single-speed operation and keyed chuck are trade-offs for its rugged durability and compact size. It is ideal for professional contractors needing a reliable tool for high-volume concrete drilling.
The Ryobi R18SDS-0 is a compact, cordless 18V SDS-Plus rotary hammer drill designed for light to medium-duty tasks such as drilling into masonry and light chiseling. Its key strength is its lightweight design and versatility with four operating modes, making it a practical bridge between standard drills and full-sized rotary hammers. However, its lower impact energy limits its effectiveness for heavy professional demolition or large-diameter work.
