My Compare Reactions 12
Quick takes on side-by-side spec battles.
Pick
Makita XPH14Z
Makita XPH14Z vs Makita XPH16Z
Both use a mechanical clutch but XPH14Z specifies clutch positions which is neat for torque control. I lean towards the 14Z for versatility.
Pick
RIDGID R4222
RIDGID R4222 vs DEWALT DWS780
RIDGID's anti vibration handle makes a noticeable difference my hands don't get as tired during long sessions.
Pick
DEWALT DWS780
DEWALT DWS716XPS vs DEWALT DWS780
I feel safer with the two-stage trigger on the DWS780 since it prevents accidents better than the DWS716XPS.
Pick
Westinghouse WGen9500DFc
Westinghouse WGen9500DFc vs DuroMax XP12000EH
Remote start capability on the Westinghouse is such a convenience especially in bad weather. Not having to fiddle with starting manually is a real time saver.
