Perforator - what to consider when buying

October 19, 2019

A rotary hammer drill gets its name from the mechanism that performs the hammer and drill movements in one action. It can drill into stone, ceramic tile, brick, and thick concrete surfaces.

There are two main types of hammer drills available on the market - conventional rotary hammers and SDS rotary hammers .

A conventional rotary hammer is great for medium-duty tasks and can perform more than one function.

Whereas, an SDS rotary hammer is a more versatile tool. It provides additional drilling power, allowing you to use it as a regular drill by activating the hammer function.

Or you can switch to rotary hammer mode and use it for rotation purposes.

We present you with interesting tips about the perforator. And we also recommend that you read the previous post on the same topic .

8 Factors to Consider When Buying a Perforator

Powerful motor – The hammer drills have a powerful motor that starts at 7 amps for medium-duty jobs and up to 10 amps for heavy-duty projects.
Impact Energy - Also, pay attention to the amount of energy the tool generates while drilling. Any hammer drill with an impact energy rating of 2 to 4 ft/lb or joules, depending on the unit, is ideal for medium to heavy-duty tasks.
Battery power - Having a battery is very practical for cordless work, the higher the voltage, the more energy is consumed from the drill. In general, a drill with a powerful battery is relatively heavy.
Torque - Torque refers to the turning force of a motor. The higher the torque rating, the higher the amount of torque.
Drill Speed (BPM and RPM) - Drill speed refers to the number of strokes and revolutions (RPM) that a drill can perform per minute. Basically, it indicates how fast the tool is.
Chuck size - The chuck is the part of the drill that attaches to the head of the drill. Most chucks are designed so that you can attach and remove them without the need for extra tools.
Key Features - In addition to the power and performance of a rotary hammer, another important feature that you should consider when buying a hammer drill is how comfortable it is to operate. Although a rotary hammer will be heavier than other power tools, such as a cordless drill, it can handle a lot of impact and vibration.
Drill accessories and drill packages - Many manufacturers offer more than just the bare tool. Some hammer drills come with additional tools for different jobs. LED lighting is a great feature when you have to work in low light conditions.
