Can't argue with the cost to performance ratios of the Bauer. Curious to see how the newer Ryobi P223 stacks ups, especially compared to the old model.
Be great to see the Bosch and Kobalt versions of the same compact size (mainly because I have both and would like to see how they rank up to the others). Always willing to lend them out to TTC and Philly if needed 😏. Keep up the great content...saved me more than once from making a poor decision lol!
As of Aug. 8, 2024, the Bauer hammer drill is 29.99 at Harbor Freight. No coupon or special promo, just the going price. This is a 2 year-old video, so I'm not sure who will see this, but I just found the video and thought the update was worthwhile.
@YuckFou0x0FFFF have you used one? Ive owned the older makita cordless, and dewalt cordless and now also bauer.. ive used em for 2 years no problem, woodworking carpentry amd automotive amd welding/fabricating work.. they work great for projects, and ive dropped my drill off a 15ft scaffold and it went right back to work.. now if youre a pro and using em 8hrs a day i would get a higher end brand, but for most people even semi pros who are still just starting u cant go wrong for the price
I love that you guys are testing this segment, from my experience Bosch and makita make the most commercial oriented hammers would love to see them in the future. I think your channel suffers from to many great tools to test and not enough money to test them all and stay independent and free of sponsors, keep up the good work.
Between you guys and Project Farm, I've made most of my recent tool purchasing decisions. I actually have been looking at cordless rotary hammers as I've got a need for it for some upcoming projects, so I'm hoping to base my purchase on your future videos. Keep up the great work, guys!
I used my M12 hammer drill to drill 20 10 inch deep holes in 80 year old concrete. I could not feel my arms. I could really use one of those. Been following for a long time, love you guys.
I find this testing very interesting. I would love to find an alternative to air powered tools for mechanical work. I’d love to see the biggest and baddest from all the big name brands.
I’m hoping that maybe this line of testing might catch the attention of a few tool makers and let them know that a cordless air hammer is something we all want! You guys definitely seam to be on their radar so we can sure hope
Need to see more of the M18 hammer drills please. I am thinking about picking one up so I don't always need to run a cord out for my Hilti TE 25 to drill 1 or 2 holes..
Testing with chisels on common tasks would be very useful. BTW I made a pneumatic "beater bar" by brazing (don't weld tool steel) a short section of pipe to an old air chisel shank then pressing a slug of brass round bar into that. Instead of using a sloppy hammer and bar by hand you can easily drive pulleys etc onto shafts, dowels into press fit holes etc. Make yourself one from scrap and enjoy.
Awesome video, I came here for torque wrench tests and you have me staying for videos like this... Answering the questions I didn't even know I had. Thanks!!!
Got the 20v DeWalt dch273b which is an oldie but in chisel mode it helped knock out a rusted frozen exhaust stud + un-stick a rotor frozen to the hub. But hard to find hardened sds-plus chisels though.
Yes but I've found any tools that have a earthquake version are trash under the Bauer name although I love my 3/8 Bauer impact and the cordless tire pump will pump up my truck tires pretty quickly but gives up after 35psi
I have this Bauer since I couldn't resist the tempting 35d on open box clearance. I have say this actually has a useful performance. I don't regret purchasing it. I also have the Ridgid octane model. It is obviously more effective than the Bauer, which was a little comfort considering I had paid more than three times as much for it! Still I would like to see you compare the Ridgid octane and maybe the newer Ridgid also, since I have lots of higher ah batteries for the Ridgid but I only have one 2-ah Bauer battery, perhaps the Bauers performance is closer to the Ridgids with a higher-capacity battery. Great video really enjoyed it.
I haven't used many rotary hammers, but, the two i have at work have worked great, and they just for context were all old corded Milwaukee and a big makita. I would love to get one for the home collection, especially a milwaukee but who knows, whatever deal i can find may just be the one lol
I vaguely remember reading something about a cordless needle scaler some years ago.... maybe it was a cordless chipping hammer. Either way, it was written by a mobile welder and he said it was a lot heavier than the pneumatic, but worked great. This was a brushed tool (not sure if brushless cordless was a thing, yet)
Another thing that could be interesting to test on torque is tools that are not made for "nutbusting" but where torque is still relevant, such as angle grinders
I’ve been definitely looking for a cordless air hammer because I don’t have an air compressor large enough for automotive air tools. It would be kinda cool to test air compressors (psi stability, recharge rate, noise, etc.). As an apartment dweller with a tiny one car garage I’m always looking for quiet and compact. Thanks!
Drilling into concrete is definitely a useful bit of information, but I'm curious how these might stand up to mixing small(er) amounts of concrete vs an actual handheld concrete mixer. Data would obviously be challenging to aquire, but even a subjective answer would be cool.
I love that you are showing some of these rotary hammer. The dewalt was literally the worst example for this type of application since it’s basically used to drive tapcons for electrician. DCH133B I think is a better comparison for the price point
I would like to see the smaller Milwaukee options because I already have the monster MAX and need a drill w/ a chuck. I've had success using a SDS+ w/ a chuck add on for regular drilling.
Good video. Looks like the cheapest tools are the best we've had very good luck with harbor freight stuff. Thanks for doing the video we appreciate it.
Super interesting testing. Seems like for the price, even if you're in the Ryobi or DeWalt line, you'd almost be better off buying the Bauer, a charger, and a battery
We (the actual TTC) have randomly picked winners today 5/26 and you're one of them! Email us a shipping address (that is all we need) and you'll be sent a random SDS from those we tested! TorqueTestChannel@gmail.com
Used a Makita one to bust up some old concrete round the back of my mums house and it performed like a champ, my mate stole it out his uncles van so I have no idea what kind or how old but it busted through 100+ yo concrete with relative ease
As a mechanic, what would be the use case? I'd love to see a legitimate cordless "Air" hammer, but usually you're using an air hammer with a ball joint separator or a cutting tool.
I'd be curious to see how an air hammer drill compares, if they're still impacting monsters in comparison or if they're toned down a bit and somewhat more comparable to an electric hammer drill.
I'm actually impressed by the Bauer, I have a Skil hammer drill and that thing is pretty useless for drilling into concrete... maybe the Bauer would be a good replacement.
Definitely would like to see how the m12 stacks up in this line of tools. Pretty cool you guys have figured out how to quantify a hammering tool. I'm excited to see what other tools you guys figure out how to test in such a scientific way
Thank you so much on all you guys do! It sure does help out when picking new tools! And regardless about the giveaway I'll still be watching thank you for all the informative info!

great recomendation
Please do the Bosch bulldog.
I love your chanle ttc keep up the great work

Just bought it for that price today lol thats why im watching this😂
Bauer is a buy once, use once brand 😂
@YuckFou0x0FFFF have you used one? Ive owned the older makita cordless, and dewalt cordless and now also bauer.. ive used em for 2 years no problem, woodworking carpentry amd automotive amd welding/fabricating work.. they work great for projects, and ive dropped my drill off a 15ft scaffold and it went right back to work.. now if youre a pro and using em 8hrs a day i would get a higher end brand, but for most people even semi pros who are still just starting u cant go wrong for the price
@YuckFou0x0FFFF id consider them equal to ryobi imho, but with a better battery platform.. worse warranty tho
Hi
I love that you guys are testing this segment, from my experience Bosch and makita make the most commercial oriented hammers would love to see them in the future. I think your channel suffers from to many great tools to test and not enough money to test them all and stay independent and free of sponsors, keep up the good work.
Don't forget the crazy expensive Hilti lol they're famous for their nasty rotary hammers.
Lol i've had cordless makita's break on me before and bosch aswell never use them as cutting devices into stone and such. Only as drills
Hilti is king of the rotary hammer
except makita has higher hit forces, and bosch has higher bpm , for concrete i chose makita, to drill trough tiles without smashing them, bosch
@@robivlahov both can reliably do either if you use the appropriate tools, for concrete i only ever use SDS Max tools. Tiles obviously a normal SDS+
It's amazing that a cordless brushless tool of any quality can be sold for just $90, truly impressive.
The shear Power of bauer
Right. But how many holes can you drill until it breaks or fails hasn't been tested.
It's only $29.99 this week, insane. Grabbed one
@@mylawnnstuff4315
Came here for the reviews because I have it in my online cart right now but want to know I can get more than 1 use out of it
This is the best channel by far. Factual and honest, even makes discoveries manufacturers didn't know
Between you guys and Project Farm, I've made most of my recent tool purchasing decisions. I actually have been looking at cordless rotary hammers as I've got a need for it for some upcoming projects, so I'm hoping to base my purchase on your future videos. Keep up the great work, guys!
check this out, lots of hammers tested: ua-cam.com/video/8zgQq0T_HYY/v-deo.html

Using a hammer drill at work is a fairly often thing i have to do. Nice to see someone able to test them.
I love that you guys are doing science where no science has been done before - testing the things we all wondered but never took the time to find out!
This was a great introduction to these cordless hammers. Thank you
Would be interesting to see how Flex's 1" sds stacks up against the competition, guess I'll just have to wait until y'all get one! :)
Thank you for all you guys do! Your reviews have saved me from wasting a bunch of money on bad tools.
Need to see more of the M18 hammer drills please. I am thinking about picking one up so I don't always need to run a cord out for my Hilti TE 25 to drill 1 or 2 holes..

I guess the nice thing is that as of Aug 09, 2024, the Bauer is on sale for $29.99.
That Bauer was really impressive. Great video. Thanks
Man, it's crazy how you all have come up with these testing jigs.. well done.
never disappointed with your videos guys. Thanks for the hard work and time to keep us entertained and informed.
Awesome video, I came here for torque wrench tests and you have me staying for videos like this... Answering the questions I didn't even know I had. Thanks!!!
Never thought of using an SDS drill instead of an air hammer. Genius
The inclusion of the concrete drilling was a help to me, thanks!
Got the 20v DeWalt dch273b which is an oldie but in chisel mode it helped knock out a rusted frozen exhaust stud + un-stick a rotor frozen to the hub. But hard to find hardened sds-plus chisels though.
Curious how the 20v DeWalt compact model would rate... Love the content as always, thanks for the time and effort you put in to the channel!
Harbor Freight has really stepped up their game in the cordless market. Glad to see a true test! Thanks.
Yes but I've found any tools that have a earthquake version are trash under the Bauer name although I love my 3/8 Bauer impact and the cordless tire pump will pump up my truck tires pretty quickly but gives up after 35psi
Answering the real questions I have today - awesome job!
I have this Bauer since I couldn't resist the tempting 35d on open box clearance. I have say this actually has a useful performance. I don't regret purchasing it. I also have the Ridgid octane model.

Great video really enjoyed it.
just came here after watching the Philly Fixed video. Nice collaboration
Next thing I d love to see how do impacting drill-drivers compare to this lower end hammerdrills. Finally someone measures this stuff!
That Dewalt looks pretty neat for being on their 12V platform and that tiny little 60-ish Wh battery!
This pretty much mirrors the limited observations I've made in the field. Good test.
I was surprised by the Bauer! But I'll always be team yellow... 😏
I haven't used many rotary hammers, but, the two i have at work have worked great, and they just for context were all old corded Milwaukee and a big makita. I would love to get one for the home collection, especially a milwaukee but who knows, whatever deal i can find may just be the one lol
Would be nice to see how even the bigger SDS drills compare to air hammers. Like the full size SDS Plus and the full size SDS demo drills
I vaguely remember reading something about a cordless needle scaler some years ago.... maybe it was a cordless chipping hammer. Either way, it was written by a mobile welder and he said it was a lot heavier than the pneumatic, but worked great. This was a brushed tool (not sure if brushless cordless was a thing, yet)
Another thing that could be interesting to test on torque is tools that are not made for "nutbusting" but where torque is still relevant, such as angle grinders
Excited to see the rest of the cordless sds offerings tested! Makita especially
I almost bought the Kobalt 24v SDS when it was on clearance. Wasn’t sure I’d ever need it.
I’ve been definitely looking for a cordless air hammer because I don’t have an air compressor large enough for automotive air tools. It would be kinda cool to test air compressors (psi stability, recharge rate, noise, etc.). As an apartment dweller with a tiny one car garage I’m always looking for quiet and compact. Thanks!
The Bauer really impressed me didn't suspect it to be that good
Really want to see the M12 with 6.0 battery. I can tell a huge difference with the bigger battery just going into cinder blocks.
Interesting! Ive been considering one of these for a while now.
Drilling into concrete is definitely a useful bit of information, but I'm curious how these might stand up to mixing small(er) amounts of concrete vs an actual handheld concrete mixer. Data would obviously be challenging to aquire, but even a subjective answer would be cool.
I love that you are showing some of these rotary hammer. The dewalt was literally the worst example for this type of application since it’s basically used to drive tapcons for electrician. DCH133B I think is a better comparison for the price point
$220 and very long tho.
I would like to see the smaller Milwaukee options because I already have the monster MAX and need a drill w/ a chuck. I've had success using a SDS+ w/ a chuck add on for regular drilling.
The battery connecting section on the Bauer looks like an afterthought of the design process.
Good insight, Bauer finally went brushless, appreciate the videos!!
Wow, Harbour freight bring on the beans, you should do a reliability test how many holes can you drill before tool falling.
Good video. Looks like the cheapest tools are the best we've had very good luck with harbor freight stuff. Thanks for doing the video we appreciate it.
Super interesting testing. Seems like for the price, even if you're in the Ryobi or DeWalt line, you'd almost be better off buying the Bauer, a charger, and a battery
Surprising showing from the Bauer! More than a bit impressive of a showing for a sub-$100 tool.
Definitely wouldn't be upset about getting one of these in the mail, especially a Milwaukee 🤞
I love how the bouer looks Great video
Maybe not as an air hammer but perhaps a good alternative to a reciprocating saw for things like vibrating concrete in your small backyard projects.
While I'm in deep with Milwaukee tools, I may have to pick up a few Bauer pieces in the future for the handful of oddjobs I'd use them for.
i've been getting Bauer brushless tools and using them with milwaukee batteries. best setup for the money.
That Bauer was quite impressive for the price!
We (the actual TTC) have randomly picked winners today 5/26 and you're one of them! Email us a shipping address (that is all we need) and you'll be sent a random SDS from those we tested! TorqueTestChannel@gmail.com
So, in today's selection Harbor Freight has the best tool. Never would've called that. Keep up the informative videos
I would have never thought to test these. I figured they were all just about the same.
Very interesting stuff! You should throw the M12 into the mix.
Used a Makita one to bust up some old concrete round the back of my mums house and it performed like a champ, my mate stole it out his uncles van so I have no idea what kind or how old but it busted through 100+ yo concrete with relative ease
Love the videos, I am just starting to work on cars and the videos definitely help when deciding what tools to go with if I need to get something new
I'm interested in seeing the makita and bosch being added to the line up
You guys are the only tool testing channel that my girlfriend likes to watch
That's nice to know! Was needing an air hammer for an upcoming project!
So the bauer comes closer to the low end of air hammers and could probably do an ok job but might take a bit longer, cool
Been watching since you guys started. Love this stuff
Good job bringing back DP.
Would love to see some d handle roto hammers too. Its great you guys are doing this.
Very cool, I've always wondered what they could be used for in an automotive world, definitely great data
The Bauer looks fairly similar to the Greenworks GD24SDS2, slightly different housings, but they might be based on the same design.
Looks interesting. Maybe manufacturers are watching your channel and will come up with a new category of tool.
Kobalt has one of these drills also. I would sure like to see how it compares to these.
I was wondering if you could maybe test air palm nailers as well. I think it would be a really interesting comparison to see
I love these videos they are surprisingly entertaining
Love the video’s keep up the great work. I’m always curious about dewalts new tools and you always have them never a let down
hey TTC, id like to see the newer ryobi HP's (full size and compact if theres much difference) tested and added to the list.
I used my Bauer wired sds to remove the half shafts from my 330xi.
As a mechanic, what would be the use case? I'd love to see a legitimate cordless "Air" hammer, but usually you're using an air hammer with a ball joint separator or a cutting tool.
This is fantastic, a great series to continue!
Holy shit I never thought of a cordless air hammer
I'd be curious to see how an air hammer drill compares, if they're still impacting monsters in comparison or if they're toned down a bit and somewhat more comparable to an electric hammer drill.
The corded Bosch is the Industry standard for the past 30 years. The m12 is a compact little monster much lighter than my m18
I'm actually impressed by the Bauer, I have a Skil hammer drill and that thing is pretty useless for drilling into concrete... maybe the Bauer would be a good replacement.
This is great news to us DIY guys without an air compressor
Sweet .. I love Ryobi tools myself
Definitely would like to see how the m12 stacks up in this line of tools. Pretty cool you guys have figured out how to quantify a hammering tool. I'm excited to see what other tools you guys figure out how to test in such a scientific way
Great comparison video, Guys.
Thank you so much on all you guys do! It sure does help out when picking new tools! And regardless about the giveaway I'll still be watching thank you for all the informative info!
About the only thing I want that haven’t been able to afford yet. Regular hammer drills just don’t have the umph to get thru.
Wow, interesting. Pretty impressed by the Bauer, not just a dime-a-dozen Wen rebrand. (Unlike some corded tools)
I absolutely love your content been watching since early on and have used your advice for tools thanks
Another great video,keep up the great work!
I’ve been wanting one. Thanks for the comparison
I'm sad you guys didn't get the newer ryobi P223 1" sds plus it's a huge step up over that P222.
That hobo frieght tool putting in work
Badass giveaway idea!
I've always wondered what Todd from project farm does with all of his stuff.
I mean I don't wanna win, but thanks for showing us how these compare
Been doing this with larger corded demo hammers for a long time. When I don't have enough compressor power
