The manufacturer insists not to exceed the diameter of the holes (mm):

• in concrete - 28;
• in brickwork (with an annular drill bit) - 82;
• in steel - 13;
• in wood - 30.

The operating temperature range of the environment is from -20 to +50°C, the battery should be charged at temperatures above 0°C. The charge level is displayed by special indicators. When a certain battery temperature is reached, the indicator will either warn you that the recommended range is exceeded, or signal the danger of continuing to work, and the machine will automatically turn off.

There are three modes - impact drilling, drilling, slotting. Smooth adjustment of the number of strokes and revolutions is carried out by pressing the switch.

Choices

If you need a hammer drill for drilling holes for dowels and anchor bolts, choose from compact inexpensive hammer drills with an impact energy of 1-2 J.

Electricians, finishers and other professionals will certainly need a medium-power universal puncher - this way it will be possible to drill a stab, install a socket box, and drill a through hole for a plastic pipe.

To dismantle walls, punch passages in concrete and brick walls, you will need a powerful puncher with an impact energy of 10 J and an SDS-Max cartridge.

To quickly and easily drill a hole in concrete in a power outage, use a cordless hammer drill.

If you want to combine a drill and a hammer drill in one tool, choose a tool with a quick change chuck system, a quick chuck included and high maximum idle speeds.

If you have to work with a hammer drill for a long time, choose among models with an anti-vibration system.

Purposes of using a puncher

Before choosing any hammer drill (whether homemade or professional), you need to make sure that you really need this tool or you can get by with an impact drill, which will be smaller, cheaper and more versatile. It should be understood that this kind of drill is not always able to perform the tasks you set.

To figure out if you need a hammer drill, you have to consider what materials you plan to work with, how often, how difficult the job is, and more. For example, if you have a wall made of wood, brick or concrete, and you need to make a small hole, and this desire appears once every many years, then a drill will be enough for you.

Before buying a hammer drill, you need to understand whether you really need this device.

If construction work at home is expected or you need a high-quality tool for permanent work, then you should already pay attention to a hammer drill.Then the second question is raised - you need one that is for home, or a professional version

In this case, you need to think about several parameters, such as power, impact energy, number of beats per minute, and so on.

Having resolved all the pressing issues and making sure that you need a rotary hammer, you can start looking for it.
