A hammer drill is a versatile drill that’s capable of driving fasteners and drilling holes into a wide range of materials!
Hammer drills differ from ordinary drill/drivers as they feature a mechanical hammer that knocks the back of the drill bit, providing extra force for drilling holes into light masonry like bricks and concrete.
Why might I need a cordless hammer drill?
If you’re drilling some holes up to 10mm in diameter into bricks and concrete, you’ll definitely need a hammer drill!
You’ll also need a set of masonry drill bits - we strongly recommend Bordo’s 6-piece Colour Flute Masonry Drill Set - which are conveniently colour coordinated to match coloured wall plugs - so you can quickly and easily match up your drill bit to the right sized wall plug!
Cordless hammer drills are super handy if you don’t have easy access to power, and without the power cord you benefit from full mobility - so you can easily move around while you work.
18V cordless hammer drills have plenty of power too - even when compared to 240V corded drills!
Because you can select which mode you want, they’re super versatile - whether you’re using it around the house or on the jobsite.
