Philip – When we do these Head-to-Head tests we reach out to every manufacturer. We tell them the category and ask them all to submit their best product/solution for the category. We give them parameters on sizes and they have a conversation with us. This test was done several years ago, and I’m not sure what products were out at the time for them. The bottom line is each tool company makes the selection on the product.

Thank you Nick. We try hard to create content that means something to all of us in the trades. We’ve got a bunch of these Head-to-Head articles you can read through.

Great photos, easy to read layout, direct & to the point without useless text, and competent testing procedures. Came to your site from google, and this is the first article of yours that I’ve read. Glad to see a competent review site for tools as I’m always asking my self the same questions when I go to buy new equipment. Looking forward to your other posts, – Nick

Eric – We spent quite a bit of time selecting models based on input from each of the manufacturers. At the time of the test, these were as close to each other as we could get.

Jeff – That’s going to be a brutal project, especially when you hit rebar at those depths. You’ll want to get a very good bit that is designed to cut through rebar. I’d use dust extraction at the hole, not the bit, just so you can get the best bit possible. I would probably recommend either the Hilti, DEWALT, or Makita for this application. All three are very strong.

It’s going to take days. Which rotary hammer would last thru this ordeal?
Which one would drill the fastest? Any recommendations for type of bit and dust extraction

How deep would the holes be? It’s likely you could get away with a smaller unit.
