A hammer drill is a power tool that combines the functions of an electric hammer and drill to break down and chip at lathe or a denser material to create a hole in the surface. Utilizing a weight that hammers the drill bit with an impact force, these tools are often used to cut into stone, cement block, or concrete. Today, these drills are being manufactured by a wide array of companies that performing a hammer drill test is necessary in finding the best one to purchase.
What is a hammer drill and where is it used? A hammer drill is a type of electric drill which combines the functions of a drill and a hammer. This provide a short, rapid hammer thrust that help pulverize relatively brittle materials with a rotary action drill and pounding action. This type of tool can be used in different applications among the most popular being Driving screws and anchors into concrete, penetrating masonry and stone, and drilling holes in concrete footings to pin concrete wall forms.
A hammer drill test is an important part of drill purchasing. Among the things included in this test is the type of drill. s There are two types of drill hammer available in the market that consumers can choose from and these are the percussion drill and rotary drill. The first type which is the percussion drill has a chuck with a mechanism that moves forward and backward on the axis of rotation. The other type is the rotary hammer which is usually powered pneumatically and has bit that moves forwards and backwards independently. Both types can be purchased either with cord or cordless depending on one's purpose and preference. Cordless types are preferred by many as they can be used in all types of work and can be used anywhere. They also have interchangeable batteries that can be swap in order to still be able to use the drill when the other battery is charging. Tough drilling works such as masonry or boring large holes in wood on the other hand is better performed using corded drills.
The next step in the hammer drill test is checking the offered features of the drill. Among the features that need to be looked at are the drill's variable speed selection, torque, and chuck. Variable speed refers to the drill's ability to change speed and can be measured in revolutions per minute (rpm). On the other hand, torque refers to the strength or turning force of the drill and is measured in pounds per inch (lbs/in). Finally is the chuck refers to the specialized type of clamp used to hold to drill in place.
Other than the other features already mentioned it will also be helpful to look for a hammer drill which has reverse, depth rod, and handles. Reverse function allows the user to retrieve a stuck bit while the depth rod is a device mounted on the side of the drill that lets the user know when he/she have reached their desired depth. Handles on the other hand allow access even to confined spaces and while providing better control in normal use. All these are part of the hammer drill test and need to be carefully looked at before purchasing.
A hammer drill test is indeed vital in choosing the best hammer drill to use. With the number of options to choose from, this task may indeed be tedious; yet, is also rewarding.
