Rotary Hammers

Cordless SDS Rotary Hammer Drills

Rotary hammers — also known as rotary hammer drills — use a rotating machine tool to drill into tough materials. This tool uses striking energy to hammer or drill into stone, masonry and concrete. Many rotary hammers have drill, hammer and hammer drill settings. With these models, you can use the drill or hammer on its own, or combine both features for heavy-duty work.

Rotary Hammers vs. Hammer Drills

While rotary hammers and hammer drills have similar purposes, rotary hammers have superior performance. A hammer drill uses two discs to slam a chuck forward and back. Meanwhile, a rotary hammer's mechanism involves air pressure from a piston and cylinder. This air pressure can create a much higher impact than the force generated by a hammer drill's discs.

Uses for Rotary Hammers

A rotary hammer drill has the primary purpose of drilling holes into masonry materials like concrete. By switching to hammer-only mode, you can also use a rotary hammer for light demolition projects. Rotary hammers only suit projects with masonry materials, even in drill-only or hammer-only mode. We recommend using a standard power drill for materials such as wood or plastic. You can also ask our team for assistance with finding the right tool for your job.
