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

Both of these drills are invaluable help in various construction and renovation works. Even though they may be similar, their application is slightly different. Let's start with a hammer drill, whose main purpose is to drill in hard materials such as concrete, stone, brick, etc. It differs from a regular drill in that it has a hammer mechanism responsible for strong, short and quick movements along the drilling axis. Thanks to them, it is possible to effectively break through hard surfaces. Of course, this type of drill can also be used for drilling in wood or metal.

A hammer drill is a more advanced device, combining the strength and capabilities of a hammer drill with a pneumatic hammer. This is especially useful when we have to perform work that requires significant impact force, for example when forging. Hammer drills are therefore more complex, but also heavier.

How to select the torque of a hammer drill with a battery?

When choosing a hammer drill with a battery, we must evaluate several important parameters. One of the most important is torque, which largely determines how the work will proceed. It affects the strength of the equipment and whether it can cope with heavy construction work. It is measured in newton meters (Nm).

To choose the right power tool , we must take several factors into account. The type of material is important because each of them requires a different torque. As a rule, for drilling in wood and other soft materials, choose low torque, but in the case of concrete or metal, high torque is best. The same is true for screw size. Proportionally, so the bigger it is, the higher the torque. If we are not sure what to choose, start with a lower one and gradually increase it.

What voltage should I choose for a hammer drill with a battery?

impact drill with Rawlplug 18V, 210NM battery, 5.0AH battery A cordless hammer drill will be useful in every job if we can skillfully set the torque. But this is not the only issue that needs to be mentioned, because another equally key parameter is voltage. Which one to choose? What to remember? It mainly depends on the type of work. The most common voltages for battery-powered impact drills are 12V, 18V and 20V.

For light housework and general use, 12V equipment is sufficient. We are talking about tasks such as drilling in wood (and other soft materials), screwing in screws, assembling furniture, etc. For works of medium difficulty (for example, drilling in harder materials such as metal, brick, etc.), of course, more power is needed and this is a good the solution is an impact drill with an 18V battery. For professional and demanding work, even higher voltage is needed - 20V and more. Such equipment provides greater impact force and efficiency for work in difficult conditions.

In the Onninen installation wholesaler, it is worth checking out the Rawlplug 18V, 210NM, 5.0AH impact drill with battery . This hammer drill includes a 1/4" internal hexagon holder for bits and a 1/2" square external holder for sockets. This significantly increases the range of usefulness of the power tool. The torque discussed in the article is set electronically, which allows you to adjust the parameters of the power tool to a specific task. Noteworthy is the powerful brushless motor, thanks to which the equipment has high efficiency and ensures trouble-free operation for a long time. In addition, it is worth mentioning the Auto Stop Control ASC mode, which cuts off the torque, which prevents damage to the surface of the substrate when screwing. Working with this device is extremely comfortable, which is guaranteed by the rubberized, profiled handle.
