Where is a hammer drill useful?

Rothenberger RH4000 hammer drill A hammer drill is a device that is perfect for making holes in hard surfaces - stone, marble or concrete. Thanks to the appropriate equipment, it will be perfect for chipping floors and walls. Devices with properly matched parameters will therefore work perfectly in the construction and renovation industries. They definitely make work easier and faster. Perfect for both professionals and amateurs who use this type of equipment occasionally, only for private needs.

What is the difference between a hammer drill and an impact drill?

Despite quite similar applications, both variants of the devices differ significantly from each other, which professionals certainly know. The most important criterion is application. Thanks to a hammer drill, you can prepare holes in soft and medium-hard materials, while hammer drills, thanks to their sufficiently high power, are also suitable for drilling in hard concrete, and the chisel can also be used for forging. IN Modern models of impact drills and hammer drills most often have the option of turning off the impact, so one piece of equipment can also be used to prepare holes in soft materials.

Currently, devices equipped with an electro-pneumatic impactor are used, which are exceptionally durable, which is why they are used in models used by professionals. The pneumatic impactor ensures effective work and at the same time does not require the use of high pressure. This makes working with this type of device lighter, easier and more comfortable.

Differences between devices can also be discussed in the context of additional accessories, such as drills, chisels and other elements. Hammer drills use special SDS handles, which significantly improve the comfort of work. Thanks to them, it is possible to quickly and efficiently mount the drill and, what is very important, no additional, specialized tools are needed.

The devices also differ in parameters, so when looking for the right solution, you must pay attention to the power, number of revolutions, type of power supply, as well as the frequency of the stroke and its strength. The higher the power, the harder materials you can drill into. The number of revolutions and the frequency and force of the impact have a similar effect. The higher the parameters, the greater the possibilities of the device. In turn, the power supply variant mainly affects the convenience of work. Currently, battery-powered and mains-powered devices are available. Batteries will be great where there is no access to electricity.
