DR99 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I think I would pick the drill with the larger capacity which would be the Milwaukee. I think I would consider the bigger M18 fuel model if your not doing much overhead.http://www.homedepot.com/p/M18-FUEL-18-Volt-Lithium-Ion-Brushless-1-1-8-in-SDS-Plus-Rotary-Hammer-Tool-Only/205563079 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regopit Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I'm with Jason on this one spend the exrta $50 and get the 1 1/8" Milwaukee if you are on that battery platform. Now if you are on the Bosch battery platform get the Bosch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renner_construction Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Agreed! I just got the 1 1/8 fuel and it's like drilling into wood. The 50$ extra is well worth it ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poisonfangs85 Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 I cannot speak for the Bosch because I have not used one, but they make a great product. I do however LOVE my Milwaukee sds fuel. I picked it up about a month ago now and it's awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Logan Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 If it was me I would go with Bosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 The Bosch is sexier, but I doubt it would keep up with the FUEL. The FUEL SDSs can compete will 240V rotary hammer drills... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Santi_78342 Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 So how long could you chip concrete with the 1 1/8 Fuel? Let's say with a 4.0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Argyropoulos Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Test the two if possible. Speed isn't the only thing to consider when you get a rotary hammer with chipping function. If you need to channel out wall or floor or drill holes for hours on end, you want the tool with better shock absorption over the one that gets it done a little faster. Also important is balance, size and weight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Speaking of ergonomics, the FUEL has the handle and trigger right in line with the bit, which is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrull Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 Yupp. Looks like the fuel is much better on vibration and the ergonomic side. Easy choice in my mind. Go for the fuel. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiltiWpg Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I got rid of my Fuel SDS. It was a very capable rotary hammer drill. Design wise, the selector switch is clunky. It feels cheap. The balance is a little off as well. It's fine for the odd anchor, but I wouldn't want to use it all day again.Battery life is actually quite good, on a full 4.0 I could do anchors all day on 1 - 1.5 batteriesThe chipping is ok as well. It was pretty lackluster driving ground rods but that isn't its intended use. Also, it's noisy. Not just loud, it's supposed to be loud, but motor whine, bearing screech etc.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overanalyze Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 I have the Bosch and that sds loves concrete! I did some testing with it between my 36v Dewalt and 110v Dewalt. It beat both of them. My only gripe is the handle/grip style. I prefer it like the Milwaukee but I love my Bosch anyway.

kornomaniac Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Coptool just announced that they are doing an 18v sds comparison next week. All Brands are there. If you can wait it out a week that comparison should give you a good idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwain Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 coptool are going crazy on the comparisons at the moment! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lagoodlife Posted October 31, 2015 Author Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Nice thanks Konomaniac! I love tool comparison and i will wait for sure to see the result of this...but so far i think i would go fot the Milwaukee but the bigger model, which is the 2715-20...i have 6 battery with this platform and 4 of them are 5amp...Envoyé de mon iPhone en utilisant Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itchyspanner Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 ive had 4 bosch cordless sds drills and 3 milwaukee, the bosch are alot better in my experience, in both power and build quality. Ive not tried the new fuel ones but if i had to choose from scratch the bosch line wins hands down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemdale Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 I would go with the Bosch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrull Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 Yeah, but it doesn't seem to even use any damping/anti-vibration?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hemdale Posted November 8, 2015 Report Share Posted November 8, 2015 True, seems like the Bosch dampening isn't that good.

If you can wait it out a week that comparison should give you a good idea i think the cop tool comparison turned out to not be sds just the 18v drillsSent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
