Hammer Drills: 3 things to consider before buying
When choosing Hammer Drills, pay attention to the power and speed settings. Power is measured in amps for corded models and volts for cordless ones. Higher values mean more drilling capability, especially in tough materials like concrete. Speed, often noted as RPM (revolutions per minute), determines how fast the drill bit spins. Adjustable speed settings can enhance control when switching between different tasks or materials. For example, a lower speed is perfect for driving screws, while higher speeds are better for drilling holes.
The hammer function is what sets Hammer Drills apart from regular drills. This feature allows the drill to deliver a rapid succession of short, hammering thrusts that make it easier to penetrate hard surfaces. When shopping, look for a model with an adjustable hammer setting to tailor the force according to your project needs. For instance, when working on masonry or concrete, you’ll benefit from a powerful hammer action, while softer materials may require a gentler touch.
Comfort is key during extended use of Hammer Drills. Look for features such as ergonomic handles, which reduce strain on your hands and wrists, and anti-vibration technology, which minimizes fatigue during operation. A lightweight design can also be beneficial if you need to maneuver in tight spaces or work overhead. Additionally, consider models with built-in LED lights to improve visibility in dimly lit areas and those with easy-to-reach controls for seamless operation.
