General info

Is reversible
Bosch RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
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.
Is cordless
Bosch RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
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.
volume

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bosch RHS181B)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Makita BTP140Z)

Volume is the quantity of three-dimensional space enclosed by the product's chassis or, in simpler terms, the space the product occupies.
weight

1.91kg

1.86kg

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.
height

221mm

246mm

The height represents the vertical dimension of the product.
width

277mm

185mm

The width represents the horizontal dimension of the product.
charge time

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bosch RHS181B)

0.5h

The time it takes to fully charge the battery.
has an LED light
Bosch RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
An LED light can provide a constant light source.
travel bag is included
Bosch RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
The device comes with its own special case or pouch, which is useful for safe transportation.

Performance

voltage

18V

18V

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 RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
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

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Bosch RHS181B)

Unknown. Help us by suggesting a value. (Makita BTP140Z)

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

4950bpm

27600bpm

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.

Chuck

chuck diameter

12.7mm

6.4mm

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 RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
A keyless chuck drill enables you to change out drill bits rapidly without having to use any special keys.
Has a pin chuck
Bosch RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
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 RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
High-precision chucks use ball thrust bearings to reduce friction in the closing mechanism and maximize drilling torque.

Miscellaneous

Is a hammer drill
Bosch RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
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 an impact drill
Bosch RHS181B
Makita BTP140Z
An impact drill uses an anvil to provide increased torque and spin the bit with more power. It is often used in everyday home improvement projects as it takes less effort to drive long screws into the material and minimises the danger of stripping.
