Choosing a decent, tailored equipment requires proper consideration, because only then will it work well when performing tasks. This is definitely the case with a battery-powered impact drill. And this is the issue we will focus on in the following article.

What is the difference between a hammer drill and a rotary hammer?
Both of these drills are invaluable help in various construction and renovation works. Although they are similar, their applications are slightly different. Let's start with the impact drill, which is mainly intended for drilling in hard materials such as concrete, stone, brick, etc. It differs from a regular drill in that it has an impact mechanism, responsible for strong, short and fast 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 that combines the power and capabilities of a percussion drill with a pneumatic hammer. The latter is especially useful when we have to do work that requires a significant impact force, for example when chiseling. Hammer drills are therefore more advanced, but also heavier.
How to choose the torque of a cordless hammer drill?
When choosing a cordless impact drill, we need to assess 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, whether it will cope with heavy construction work. It is measured in newton meters (Nm).
To choose the right power tool , we need to consider several factors. The type of material is important, because each requires a different torque. As a rule, for drilling wood and other soft materials, choose a low torque, but for concrete or metal, a high torque is best. The same is true for the size of the screw. Proportionally, the larger the size, 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 cordless hammer drill?

A cordless impact drill will therefore be useful in any job, if we are able to 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 popular voltages for impact drills with a battery are 12V, 18V and 20V.
For light household chores and general use, 12V equipment is sufficient. This includes tasks such as drilling wood (and other soft materials), driving screws, assembling furniture, etc. For medium-difficulty work (for example, drilling harder materials such as metal, brick, etc.), of course, more power is needed, and a good solution here is an impact drill with an 18V battery. For professional and demanding work, an even higher voltage is needed - 20V and more. Such equipment provides greater impact force and efficiency for work in difficult conditions.
Rawplug R-PID18-XL2 hammer drill at Onninen wholesaler?
At the Onninen installation wholesaler, it is worth checking out the Rawlplug 18V, 210NM, 5.0AH battery-powered impact drill . This impact drill has a 1/4" internal hexagonal bit holder and a 1/2" external square for sockets. This significantly increases the usability of the power tool. The torque discussed in the article is set electronically, which allows you to adjust the power tool's parameters to a specific task. The powerful brushless motor is worth noting, thanks to which the equipment has high efficiency, but also ensures trouble-free operation for a long time. In addition, it is worth mentioning the Auto Stop Control ASC mode, torque cut-off, which prevents damage to the substrate surface during screwing. Working with this device is extremely comfortable, which is guaranteed by the rubberized, profiled handle.
