They’ll slow down as you increase the bit size, but they’re excellent with 1/4-inch bits or smaller. In fact, both hammer drills kept up pretty solid speeds. However, Ryobi kept up and there just wasn’t a noticeable difference between the two when we tested them with a 1/4-inch Bosch Daredevil MultiPurpose Bit. With Craftsman’s higher speed and blow rate, we figured it was headed for a win in our concrete drilling test. Craftsman needs to stick with a little smaller range, with a comfortable upper level around 1 1/2 inches. You can get away with a little bigger bit with Ryobi and 2-inch is about as big as we’re comfortable recommending. It’s pretty clear that 2 9/16-inch self-feed bits are bigger than what you should expect to use from either drill. Would Craftsman have made it with a 4.0Ah battery instead of a 2.0Ah? If you’re buying the kit, you’re getting 2.0Ah batteries, and realistically, the little bit of boost you get from a bigger pack wouldn’t have been enough. Craftsman wasn’t quite able to make it through the first 2 x 4. Ryobi was able to punch through, though it stalled at tear-out and needed an extra trigger pull. This test became less about speed and more about passing or failing. Kicking our hammer drills into low speed, we chucked up 2 9/16-inch Milwaukee Switchblade Self-Feed Bits to work through a pair of untreated 2 x 4s. In high speed, it seems like a 1-inch bit is right on the edge of what you can expect to effectively drill with either model. Both tools had a mix of drilling through and getting caught right at tear-out with neither one really outpacing the other.

We switched over to 1-inch Bosch Daredevil Spade Bits to see if we could get some sort of result. The final results were mixed, with each having their share of faster drilling. Ryobi had a little bit of hesitation at the end, but both made it through with no problem.

While both measurements are useful, you can’t convert one into the other for a direct comparison.
