Borrow SDS Corded Hammer Drill (ETL1215)

WHAT IT DOES

A corded hammer drill is a power tool great for drilling holes in walls: stone, brick and concrete. It needs to be used with specific type of drill bits, called masonry bits. It has a hammer mechanism inside the drill which will deliver concussive blows behind the masonry bit to assist in drilling into hard material like brick and masonry.

Smaller hammer drills usually have a couple of settings allowing you to turn off the mechanism and just use the normal drill in wood, metal or plastic. Bigger hammer drills usually only have one setting: hammering but it makes them more powerful. But for proper power, rotary hammer drills are the best.
