Screwdrivers Bosch and Makita. Which is better to buy?

Screwing brands Bosch and Makita are in our market among the top sellers, as both models have long proved their best in terms of durability, reliability and performance. However, I was curious to find out which of them is better still.

Before I begin, I want to remind you that this article is not an advertisement, but only reflects the personal opinion of the author, which may not coincide with the opinions of others. And I'm tired of reading all the small stuff in the comments of the blue.

Choosing models of both brands, I proceeded from the fact that they are identical in specification and in the same price category. Both 18 volt screwdriver with litevymi ion batteries. The cost of each almost 8000 rubles.

Equipment:

In both cases, the equipment is identical: Sam screwdriver, two batteries and a half ampere hours, charging station, and storage case. As you can see in this nomination friendship has won.

Dimensions

Dimensions Makita bit weightier size Bosch. Its length is almost 6 cm longer, and the weight and does exceed 500 grams. This point speaks for itself. especially in long hours of work. In his hand he is sitting Bosch also more confident.

Characteristics

Next proceed to the technical side. I tried to insert a screwdriver into the two 12 mm drill bit, but unfortunately chuck Bosch can accommodate a maximum of 10 mm. The Makita 12 mm easy part that says that they can perform a higher range of work.

On the other hand Bosch wins in the density of the clamping chuck lip. It is possible to insert drill with absolutely any minimum diameter. But in Makita drill bit with a diameter less than two mm has already been secured.

Performance

For performance testing, I decided to compare how much time is threaded by 10 hundredths of screws in the thick bar. It turned out that they are exactly the same in this regard. Even the slightest difference I felt.

Personally, I give their preference Bosch, because it is much smaller and lighter, so this tool will work much easier and more convenient.
