To see what that means practically, we ran both hammer drills on the PTR Test Track. The hammer blow rate is significantly higher as well-jumping from 24,000 beats per minute to 31,000. Low gear moves from 410 RPM to 500, and high raises the top speed by 300 RPM-from 1800 to 2100. There is a big difference in speed, however. With that said-on paper, both hammer drills have the same 750 in-lbs of torque.
#Ryobi p251 upgrade
Personally, if we’re going to upgrade to a new tool, it’s typically going to be because of a performance boost. If that were all they did, it’s probably not enough to pass on your P251 and make the upgrade to HP. The only major difference here is that you now use the clutch collar to change between drill, driver, and hammer drill modes.Įrgonomically, the handle is pretty much the same shape but with a darker overmold color. On top of the housing, the 2-speed gearbox switch is still in the same place. The new model also drops the magnetic plate and bit holder. We also see a slight difference in the LED design-though it’s still mounted on the foot. It moves from below the trigger to clamp a bit more securely behind the chuck. The location of the auxiliary handle design makes a change for the better.
The HP hammer drill is about 1/2 an inch shorter and it weighs a couple of ounces less.
