Best 1-inch SDS Plus Rotary Hammer | Head-to-Head Test

EDITOR CORRECTION—-
Makita 40v - 2nd place overall.

We have edited the incorrect Wh rating on the Makita 40V battery. This did have a small change in the Efficiency ranking swapping Makita 40V and Milwaukee for 6th and 7th place. This in turn gives a 1 point difference in our final scoring, giving the Makita 40V a one point advantage over the Hilti. This results in Makita 40 being the sole second place finisher and the Hilti in 3rd.
