Hammer drill – an indispensable assistant in any construction work
Unlike impact drills, the hammer drill has greater power and surpasses the drill in impact force. Hammer drills are distinguished by types:
1. Horizontal placement of the electric motor. Most household hammer drills have this design.
2. Vertical placement of the electric motor. This placement allows developing greater impact power. All professional hammer drills belong to this type.
3. Cordless hammer drills. As a rule, they have low power and heavy weight, but provide independence from the electrical grid.
By power, hammer drills are divided into small (no more than 0.7 kW), medium (up to 1 kW), and powerful (more than 1 kW). In a specialized online store, they will help you choose a hammer drill depending on what construction work you plan to do.
Hammer drills are divided into professional and household. The greater the wall thickness it can drill through, the more power it has and the longer it can work. Long-term operation is the prerogative of a professional hammer drill. Household drill are those with power not exceeding 0.9 kW.
Depending on the operating modes, hammer drills are distinguished:
1. Single – capable of only drilling in soft materials. In essence, it is the same drill.
2. Dual – has drilling and hammer drilling modes.
3. Triple mode – the third mode is drilling with chiseling. Used for harder materials. Moreover, this mode with appropriate attachments will allow dismantling walls or other structures.
Before choosing a hammer drill in an online power tool store, you need to decide what the buyer expects from it. For example, with a vertical motor placement, it cools better, i.e., it will be able to work longer. At the same time, such a design makes it heavier, quite bulky, but will ensure drilling of denser materials with maximum thickness.
The choice of the hammer drill manufacturer is also important. When choosing a tool, give preference to sellers who specialize in selling such equipment and can provide advice to help you make a final decision and choose correctly. Also, one should consider the fact that little-known Chinese companies cannot compete in performance and quality with more expensive equipment from well-known brands.
