What is an impact drill, is there a difference between battery and electric and what is the difference between the different brands? We explain it in the blog below and give you direct tips for purchasing an impact drill.
What is an Impact Drill?
An impact drill , also known as a hammer drill , is a variant of a power drill. This type of drill has a hammer function and makes knocking movements. This functionality makes the impact drill suitable for drilling in, for example, plaster, wood, metal and stone. When you are going to drill in concrete, we recommend using a rotary hammer . The hammer function of the rotary hammer is many times more powerful than the impact function of an impact drill. In addition, a hammer drill is also suitable for driving screws into a wall.
Battery vs. electric
When purchasing an impact drill, it is important to see whether you want to purchase a cordless or electric impact drill. There is quite a difference here. In addition to electric impact drills, Mastertools also has cordless impact drills in its range. Both variants have their own characteristics and advantages.
Cordless impact drill
A cordless impact drill is cordless and has the advantage that it gives you more freedom of movement while drilling. When purchasing a cordless drill, it is important to check the battery voltage. This is expressed in volts (V). The higher the voltage, the more power the impact drill has. In addition, it is good to look at the charging speed of the machine. This prevents you from having to wait too long for your battery hammer drill to be full again.
Electric impact drill
Are you planning to use your impact drill intensively for the heavier jobs? Then an electric impact drill is right for you. The power of an electric hammer drill is expressed in watts (W). A corded impact drill is usually more powerful and cheaper to purchase compared to a cordless impact drill.
watts
The power of an impact drill is expressed in watts (w). The higher the wattage, the more powerful the impact drill is. How many watts is suitable for your new impact drill depends on the jobs you expect to perform. If you occasionally want to drill a screw into a wall, we recommend a hammer drill with less wattage. If you plan to drill into concrete walls, we recommend an impact drill with a high wattage percentage.
