Perforators

A hammer drill is an indispensable tool in manufacturing and repair. It is almost always needed in agricultural production, so hammer drills for farm work must be durable and safe. You can find out how to choose the right model from the experts at VADA.

What is a hammer drill and how is it used?

To explain in simple terms what a hammer drill is, we can give the following definition: it is a power tool for cutting holes in hard materials.

The main purpose of hammer drills:

• drilling;

• chiselling;

• mixing construction mixtures;

• chiselling and demolition.

These functions of a hammer drill have one thing in common: working on concrete, brick and other hard materials.

When customers need to buy a hammer drill, they may confuse it with an impact drill. Although these tools are visually similar, they are fundamentally different. The main purpose of an impact drill is drilling, and not in overly hard materials – wood, brick, plastic, tile, plasterboard.

A drill has a universal mode, while a hammer drill requires special attachments to be changed depending on the task at hand. For example, chisels, drill bits, picks, wood splitters, and adapters for bits. There are even attachments for mixing solutions or cleaning surfaces.

For long-term use and highly complex work, it is more cost-effective to buy a hammer drill rather than a drill, due to its greater power. Moreover, a hammer drill combines the capabilities of a drill and a jackhammer.

For household tasks, a hammer drill is more commonly used, while hammer drills are indispensable for work on farms and poultry farms in the following processes:

• fastening ventilation ducts, lamps, drinkers and feeders;
• removing old plaster, tiles, cement, as well as rust or scale;
• working with fasteners;
• preparing surfaces for anchors, bolts, hooks;
• repairing ventilation and lighting;
• installing cage batteries and drinkers.

The list of functions of hammer drills for poultry farms, piggeries and cowsheds is long, so it is better to agree that a hammer drill is a basic tool for an engineer or technician on a farm. They can perform minor installation work on their own, without calling in outside crews, which reduces costs and makes the farm less dependent on external factors.

Advantages of using perforators

A hammer drill is extremely useful thanks to its powerful motor and pneumatic impact mechanism. It also has a number of other advantages:

• fast and efficient drilling and chiselling;

• ability to work with most materials: concrete, brick, stone;

• ability to switch modes;

• convenience and ergonomics for long-term use;

• mobility for transport (especially cordless models) for work in remote areas.

Work that would take hours to complete manually or with weaker tools can be done in minutes. This means less physical fatigue for workers and faster completion of repair work.

Types of hammer drills

Today's market is flooded with multifunctional hammer drill models with different technical characteristics.

To buy a professional hammer drill that suits your needs, you need to understand the different types of classification.

• Electric hammer drills 

• these are usually stationary and powerful models that replace drills and jackhammers. They are mains powered, so they are suitable for jobs where it is not possible to use a battery. Electric hammer drills are often cheaper than their battery-powered counterparts, but they are heavier and therefore have limited mobility.

• Cordless hammer drill 

• mobile and convenient for working without a power outlet, ideal for places without access to the mains. The duration of operation is limited by the battery capacity.

• Professional hammer drill 

• for long-term and intensive use. These are mostly models from Makita and Bosch. They have powerful motors, reverse and speed control, several modes and a torque limiter for safety (protects against kickback).

Both electric and cordless hammer drills are suitable for farms. Such a tool allows you to perform 90% of the work on the farm — from installing drinkers and lamps to drilling walls for ventilation or sensors.

How to choose a hammer drill?

If you need to buy a professional hammer drill, it is recommended to pay attention to the type of motor location, the type of chuck (SDS-plus, SDS-max, SDS-top), and a number of other important factors:

• what kind of work you need to buy a power tool for: household, professional or farming tasks;
• power – characterises the ability to handle heavy tasks without overheating;
• impact frequency – affects the speed of work;
• power type: electric (mains) or battery (more autonomous);
• brand and reliability (e.g. Makita hammer drills, Bosch hammer drills);
• need for additional functions: speed control, reverse, hammer-drill mode.

A hammer drill allows you to perform hundreds of different functions without additional tools. It is worth buying a hammer drill because the device combines the power of a hammer mechanism, drilling accuracy and the quality of chiselling.
