Regarding the Difference Between An Impact Drill and An Electric Hammer?

It is a type of power tool that can rotate and have an impact

The electric hammer relies on rotation and hammering to work

Compared with an electric hammer, an impact drill requires more pressure to drill into a hard material

Impact Drill

1. This is a kind of power tool that can rotate and impact
2. It has an adjustable mechanism
3. When the adjusting ring is in a rotating, impact-free position, a twist drill is installed to drill the metal

When the adjusting ring is in the rotating and impact position, a drill bit with carbide is installed to drill holes on the brick surface, concrete wall, roof, and scene

 

In General, Electric Drill Only Have a Rotation Mode

which is especially suitable for drilling on materials that require very little force, such as cork, metal, brick, tile, etc. They are universal because they can be used in “single drill” mode

The “percussion drill” mode can be used, so it is a basic electric tool worth choosing for both professionals and do-it-yourself

 

The Working Principle of Impact Drill

Rely on rotation and impact to work to generate continuous force, and a single impact is very slight

So it can be used to drill holes in natural stone or concrete

 

It Cannot Be Used as Electric Drills

1. The direction of it is not easy to grasp, it is easy to misoperation, and the opening is too large
2. The drill bit is not sharp so that the hole is not smooth, and burrs or cracks appear
3. Even if there is a transfer switch on it, try not to use it for drilling

The Impact drill is suitable for our hss twist drill bits

 

The Electric Hammer

1. Electric hammers work by rotating and thrashing
2. A single thrashing force is very high and has a high thrashing frequency

Some electric hammers are not significantly different from impact drills in shape, so they should be distinguished from technical parameters when purchasing

The electric hammer drill is suitable for our SDS Hammer Drill Bits

In Summary

Compared with electric hammers, impact drills require more pressure to drill into hard materials

Electric drills should be used when drilling in stones and concrete, especially relatively hard concrete
