The Bosch HD18-2 is a powerful corded hammer drill designed for heavy-duty masonry tasks, featuring an 8.5 Amp motor and durable metal housing.

It is best suited for professional contractors working in locations with accessible power outlets.
The BLACK+DECKER BEHD201 is a corded 6.5-amp hammer drill designed for drilling through tough materials like concrete, stone, brick, and masonry. It features a high 48,000 BPM hammer action and a keyless chuck for versatile household and DIY applications. It is best suited for DIY homeowners and occasional contractors needing reliable power for masonry drilling without battery limitations.
