General info

Is a hammer drill
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
A hammer drill contains a hammer clutch or a hammer-like mechanism which provides a circular rotation and a forward driving force. A hammer drill is capable of performing heavy-duty tasks, but it can also be used as a regular power drill.
Is reversible
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
A reversible drill can alter its rotations from a clockwise direction to a counter clockwise direction, a feature that makes it suitable for both drilling and driving.
height

102mm

236mm

The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
Is cordless
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
Cordless tools/machines are suited to a variety of different situations, as you are not limited to only working in places with power sources nearby.
Is a pistol grip drill
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
A drill with a pistol grip handle is usually compact and lightweight, making the tool suitable for a large variety of apps and easy to use.
width

375mm

279mm

The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
weight

2.9kg

1.81kg

We consider a lower weight better because lighter devices are more comfortable to carry. A lower weight is also an advantage for home appliances, as it makes transportation easier, and for many other types of products.
charge time

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bosch 11253VSR)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Craftsman 17217)

The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
has an LED light
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
An LED light can provide a constant light source.

Chuck

chuck diameter

25.4mm

9.5mm

The chuck holds the drill bits or other rotary tools and its diameter determines the types of bits and tools that the drill can use. A larger chuck is compatible with a wider range of bits and tools.
Has a keyless chuck
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
A keyless chuck drill enables you to change out drill bits rapidly without having to use any special keys.
Has a pin chuck
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
Pin chucks are designed to hold small bits (less than 1 mm in diameter) that cannot be held securely in a normal drill chuck.
Has a high precision chuck
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
High-precision chucks use ball thrust bearings to reduce friction in the closing mechanism and maximize drilling torque.

Performance

voltage

120V

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Craftsman 17217)

A tool/machine with a higher voltage produces more power.
Higher speeds work better for drilling holes in certain types of material, such as steel, aluminium, concrete, etc. The drill speed is measured in rotations per minute (rpm) when the drill has no-load.
Has variable speed
Bosch 11253VSR
Craftsman 17217
A drill with variable speed allows you to switch between low and high speeds, giving you the possibility to take on a wider range of tasks.
amperage

7.2Amps

5.2Amps

The amperage is the strength of an electric current, and it is measured in amperes (amps).
hammering speed

5800bpm

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Craftsman 17217)

The hammering action provides short, rapid hammer thrusts that make drilling faster and easier. The hammering action is measured in blows/beats per minute (bpm) when the drill has no-load.
