Hammer Drill

About Hammer Drill

Hammer drills, also called percussion or impact drills, add a hammering action to rotation so they can drill into brick, block, stone and light concrete, and switch to plain drilling for wood and metal. Cordless hammer driver drills also drive screws, which makes them a common choice for electricians, carpenters and fitters. Corded hammer drills suit long drilling sessions in a workshop or on site with a power supply.

Check the chuck size, usually 10 mm or 13 mm, and the maximum drilling capacity in masonry, steel and wood. For cordless models, compare the voltage platform, brushless motor, torque and whether the kit includes batteries and a charger; a bare tool does not. For frequent drilling in hard concrete or larger anchors, a rotary hammer with an SDS chuck works better than a hammer drill. Use masonry bits in hammer mode, hold the tool with both hands or the side handle, and check walls for hidden cables and pipes.
