Question 1

What is the difference between a hammer drill and impact driver?

Accepted Answer

The difference between a hammer drill and an impact drill lies in the mechanism that powers the rotational action and the types of drill bits used. The mechanism of a hammer drill results in a linear forward force, thereby combining chiseling and drilling in one tool. For an impact drill, the force is delivered perpendicular to the bit. Hammer drills have chucks, while impact drivers have a quick-release clamp. Impact drivers are suitable for projects involving driving bolts or screws in wood or metal but do not perform well for drilling purposes. A hammer drill is an excellent tool for drilling but performs well, especially for drilling into concrete or masonry. We carry various types of Hammer Drills from top brands with various features such as Variable Speed, Keyless Chuck, LED Light, Side Handle and Adjustable Handle Position. Check out our most reviewed product, the ONE+ 18V Cordless 1/2 in. Hammer Drill/Driver with Handle with 2.0 Ah Battery and Charger.

Question 2

What range of voltages are available for products within Hammer Drills?

Accepted Answer

Hammer Drills are available in various voltages, and the right choice depends upon the type of expected usage, versatility and weight. A higher voltage means the drill will have more power but also comes with added weight. Drills with voltage under 10v are considered lightweight and are best for light-duty work at home. 12 - 15v is deemed to be middle weight and is suitable for small construction projects for DIY-ers. Lastly, drills with voltage above 20v are regarded as heavy weight and can be used for both indoor and outdoor projects. Within Hammer Drills, the voltage for products ranges between 18 V and 20 V.
