Using a digital caliper, we measure the head length and tool height without a battery installed. Using a digital scale, we measure the weight of the bare tool and the tool with the battery that comes kitted with the tool or is recommended by the manufacturer. Next, we measure how much torque it takes to get the socket back to the position the drill stopped. Once the drill stops, we back the socket off by 90º. We let it drive as far as it will go on one trigger pull. We test soft torque by chucking each drill up to a rig that uses the front spring from a Ford Ranger to provide resistance. We ensure that each bit type and size are within the design intent of the drill we’re testing. You shouldn’t expect a compact drill to do what a heavy-duty one can. Matching the Accessory to the Power ToolĮach class of drill has a different amount of muscle.
In some tests, we also measure the time it takes to drill to a specific depth or through a specific thickness. A balance of both gives you optimal performance and motor life, and we use both to calculate our scores. On the other hand, the closer a drill is to its no-load speed, the more efficiently it’s working and the lower the strain on the motor. The higher the RPMs a drill maintains, the faster the bit moves through the material. We measured the RPM once the bit is fully engaged in each test to see how fast it could drill and see how much of its no-load speed it maintained.

To see how fast each drill could work, we put them through a series of relevant tests in high and low speeds. If instead, you already use M18 tools, the extra $100 or so gets you into a more robust product with greater drilling capacity. While we love these two SDS-Plus and SDS-Max models, we don’t particularly recommend the M12 SDS-Plus rotary hammer (2416-20) unless you’re exclusively using 12V Milwaukee tools. Keep in mind that if you don’t need quite this much power or One-Key features, the Milwaukee 2717-20 SDS-Max rotary hammer might also fit the bill. Lastly, you get One-Key integration that lets you track the tool and provide inventory control. Use it with a Milwaukee High Output 12 Ah battery and this tool runs much cooler than the 9.0HD battery that came with the previous model. You also get a nice trigger lock, and AVS shock absorption reduces vibration to your arms. The AutoStop E-Clutch stops the tool quickly when it runs into a bind-up situation (like hitting rebar, for example). On top of the sheer power, we love the 2718-20 because it adds several key features. This monster tool puts out 8.1 foot-pounds of impact energy-more than doubling Milwaukee’s best SDS-Plus rotary hammer drill. Our pick here falls squarely on the Milwaukee 2718 SDS-Max rotary hammer. Moving up to the Best Milwaukee SDS-Max drill, you find support for larger bits and hole sizes.
