Score: 78/100Rankings
The DEWALT DCD996B is a compact, brushless 20V MAX XR hammer drill driver designed for heavy-duty performance in confined spaces. Its primary limitation is the tool-only format, which requires users to already own compatible batteries and chargers. It is best suited for professional contractors, electricians, and DIYers who require compact power for drilling in tight or confined spaces.
The ENEACRO ENRH3201 is a heavy-duty 13 Amp corded rotary hammer designed for demanding concrete and masonry tasks. It features a robust 7.4 J impact energy and a dual-switch mechanism for durability, making it a capable budget-friendly option. While the 12.6 lb weight may cause fatigue, its comprehensive accessory kit and strong performance make it ideal for occasional heavy-duty jobs.
