Dewalt SDS Corded Differences?

[Tay7]

Currently got a Dewalt 18v Cordless Combi which has left me needing a bit more power on some recent jobs, so started looking at corded SDS's.

But why is the Dewalt D25052KT more expensive than the Dewalt D25133K? On most of the spec the cheaper one is better.

Any others to consider such as the Makita
HR2630? - although im a sucker for the yellow and black.

I'd go blue Bosch or Makita given the choice in a 2kg SDS. deWalts don't seem to be as long lived.

I got this:

Works very well and the chuck is interchangeable - SDS and standard supplied.

Last year I upgraded my 18 volt Makita cordless from a BHR202 to the DHR242 (mainly because the newer tool can take a clip on extractor unit - essential when working in clean environments). On paper there isn't much difference in drilling performance between the two. In the real world the 242 is noticeably more powerful and the battery life is much enhanced due to the 242 being a brushless design. The "drop pot" style of motor on the 242 also makes for a shorter tool which is easier to get in between floor joists and the like. At the same time as I changed drill I also switched from 3Ah to 5Ah batteries. So good is it that I sold on my corded Bosch GBH2400. Whilst the 2400 was slightly more powerful than the Makita cordless I am fortunate enough to have a 3kg corded SDS for those rare occasions when I need to drill holes larger than 20mm. The new cordless can even do the occasional bit of light chiseling in rotation stop mode. The problem, though, is the initial price. So yes, 18 volts can be better than the older generation of heavy 24 volt cordless tools and can (in some cases) replace a corded tool

brushless technology all day long for me. .
35% more power 5.0ah batterys last forever.. motor only uses what it needs under different loads..
have impacts combi sds and jig saw at the min. my mate has the 36v saw
