Frequently asked questions: Rotary Hammers (or Hammer Drills)
What is the difference between a hammer drill and a drill?

A rotary hammer, or hammer drill, adds strong percussion to rotation, which breaks hard materials such as concrete, stone and brick. A normal drill struggles in these materials and wears bits quickly. For drilling masonry and concrete, for example for wall plug holes, the rotary hammer is the right tool.

SDS Plus or SDS Max rotary hammer: which to choose?

SDS Plus rotary hammers, such as the DeWalt D25334K with three modes, are for small and medium holes in masonry and concrete. SDS Max models are for large, deep holes, with heavier machines. Check that the machine's shank matches that of the bits you will use.

Cordless or corded rotary hammer: which is better?

A cordless rotary hammer, such as the DeWalt XR 18V 5.0 Ah models or the Flexvolt 54V version, is convenient on site because it has no cable, but the battery must be recharged. A corded rotary hammer does not depend on charge and, for long or frequent jobs, is often the more practical choice. Decide according to the type of work and the power socket available.

Rotary hammer with several modes: what are they for?

A rotary hammer with three or four modes lets you choose between rotation only, rotation with percussion and chiselling. Rotation only is for wood, metal and tiles; percussion is for masonry and concrete. Chiselling is useful for small demolitions. Choose the mode according to the material you need to drill.

Rotary hammer with dust extraction: is it really needed?

A dust extraction system connected to a rotary hammer reduces the silica dust produced when drilling masonry and concrete. The collection includes the DeWalt DCH275P2-QW with a dust extraction system. Silica dust is a health hazard, and Italian Legislative Decree 81/2008 on workplace safety (D.Lgs. 81/2008) requires protective measures. Use it together with a suitable mask.

Breaker rotary hammer: for which jobs?

The Breaker PR-I, PR-IA and PK 50 rotary hammers are for drilling concrete, masonry and stone. Before buying, check the shank, power and maximum hole diameter in the technical data sheet. This lets you verify that the model suits the material you work with most often.

Rotary hammer without battery: what should I buy?

Some rotary hammers in the collection are sold without battery and charger, such as the DeWalt DCH273NT or the DCH333NT in Tstak, meaning the bare tool only. Before buying, check that your battery is compatible with the platform and voltage, such as XR 18V or Flexvolt 54V. The bare tool suits those who already have batteries from the same range.
