I currently have dewalt 18v combo drill and impact wrench with 4ah batteries, the company i work for supply a 36v gbh sds drill, the charger is huge and takes up a lot of space in my ds400 tough system box.
i was wondering if anyone has experience with both these drill as i would like to replace the bosch with a dewalt, is the dewalt significantly underpowered compared to the bosch?
many thanks

if manufacturer claims are to be believed, Dewalt SHOULD have more power.
Dewalt 2.1J x 4500bpm = 9450J/min
Bosch 1.7J x 4850bpm = 8245J/min
Since the Compact 36V is apparently ‘optimised’ for 4-10mm holes (with specs to match), the Dewalt could actually be more powerful, weird as that sounds.
