Ryobi ONE+ SDS Plus Rotary Hammer
Score: 72/100
Bosch HD18-2
Score: 78/100Rankings
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. Its main trade-off is the lack of portability due to the cord and higher weight compared to cordless models. It is best suited for professional contractors working in locations with accessible power outlets.
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.
