Hammer Drill

Hammer drills combine rotary drilling with an impact action for suitable masonry work, depending on the model. Compare chuck diameter, motor power or battery family, approved drilling sizes and selectable drilling modes. Some machines are compact hammer driver drills; others are larger corded models for repeated drilling jobs.

Match the chuck and drill bit to wood, metal or masonry as required, and use hammer action only on materials approved by the manufacturer. For cordless models, check the exact battery system and what the kit includes. Secure the workpiece, wear eye protection and check for electrical cables or pipes before drilling walls.
