In the process of repair and construction work, it is very often necessary to drill holes in stone materials. By these materials, we mean both natural stone and artificial finishing and building materials such as concrete, brick, wall blocks, etc.
It is impossible to do this with a classic drill for wood or metal, just ruin the drills and that's it. To drill these materials, special drills with a victorious tip are used. And even in this case, due to the internal structure of stone materials, they must be drilled with a blow. Most modern electric drills have this function, but in the construction industry there is a separate special tool for these types of work and it is called a hammer drill.
A feature of this tool is the feature of transferring the impact function to the drill. If in a drill the impact function leads to increased wear of the tool mechanism, then this does not happen in a rotary hammer. It is also worth noting that, as a rule, a perforator has a much greater engine power, since it is often necessary to drill holes that are quite large in diameter and depth.
Well, it is worth noting one more function of a full-fledged hammer drill, which is never found in an electric drill. This is the split function. When this function is enabled, the rotation of the cartridge does not occur, but only the transmission of the blow occurs at certain intervals. In this case, instead of the drill, a special peak or blade is installed. A similar mode of operation is used when dismantling structures made of stone materials, as well as when chasing walls.
Currently, in hardware stores you can find a very wide selection of a variety of both price and technical characteristics of hammer drills. Some cheap models are even inferior in their power to powerful electric drills and can only be called by this name based on the design. We would not recommend using such tools for work.
In order for you to compare and choose according to the technical characteristics the model of the rotary hammer that you need, to find out in advance the features and reviews of a particular model, its strengths and weaknesses, we have made this section.
The section contains descriptions of a wide variety of rotary hammers, ranging from the cheapest and lightest to powerful professional ones. We even have cordless rotary hammers in our database. In addition to information about the tool itself, you can see its appearance in the photo, which will certainly help in the purchase.
