Schmith impact drills - essential power tools
Impact drills are essential power tools for professionals and do-it-yourselfers, commonly used for drilling holes in hard materials. Percussion drills work like standard drills, except that they generate additional fast and repetitive blows in the directions of the drilled hole. The percussion mechanism causes the drill bit to enter the workpiece with greater force, crushing it and making it easier to create a hole and remove the excavated material.
Popular hammer drills are used in many industries and situations, such as:
- Repair and construction work - for drilling holes for dowels and anchors in brick, concrete, stone, block and other construction materials.
- Installation work - for creating holes for the installation of lighting, shelves, cabinets and other items that require solid fastening.
- Finishing work - for drilling holes for wires and cables in walls, ceilings and floors.
- Outdoor work - for drilling holes in hard substrates for fences and garden posts.
Power tools with impact are very useful in situations where a lot of drilling power is needed and the speed of making holes matters.
Types of impact drills
Due to the multitude of applications, there are several variants of impact drills. The most popular of these are:
- Mainsimpact drill - powered from the mains via a cable, is characterized by high power and the ability to work for long periods of time. Mains drills are most often used for workshop work, construction sites and extensive household work.
- Rechargeableimpact drill - their power source is replaceable batteries with constant voltage. Thanks to this solution, power tools are characterized by high freedom of movement and the ability to work in places where there is no access to electricity. Cordless drills are most often used for assembly and installation work.
Impact drills can also be divided, based on the type of impact that occurs in them. There are two basic types:
- Mechanical percussion drill - models with this type of percussion use a rack and pinion or ring mechanism to generate percussive strokes. Most often, these drills are more delicate and smaller models, designed for lighter work in lower-density materials.
- Air impact drills - are equipped with a more advanced impact mechanism, generating more powerful percussion strokes. Drills with this type of percussion, are designed for drilling in hard materials and sometimes have a function of just shoeing, that is, only percussive work, without drilling.
What parameters are important when choosing an impact drill?
When choosing an impact drill, it is important to pay attention to several of its features and parameters that determine what applications it can be used for. The features you should pay attention to are:
- Power - determines the strength of the drill, which translates into the ability to drill in harder materials and the ability to drill with larger diameter bits. Basic models used for domestic work are characterized by power up to 800W, while models designed for professional work, power in excess of 800W.
- Speed - expressed in revolutions per minute, allows you to adjust the drilling parameters to the material being drilled. Lower speeds are better for drilling in hard materials, while high speeds are more suitable for soft materials.
- Impact frequency - expresses the number of strokes per minute that is generated by the device. The higher the percussion frequency, the faster the drill will handle the hole.
- Impact energy - measured in joules, is the key parameter that defines the impact force. The higher the impact energy, the easier and faster the drill can handle hard materials.
- Maximum drilling diameter - this characteristic defines the maximum diameter of the drill bit that can be handled by the drill.
