How to choose a hammer drill

Hammer drills are essential for drilling into cement, block or brick, because they provide a percussive pounding during the drilling process that breaks through strong, dense material. You can also turn off the hammer function and use it as a regular drill driver, making it a versatile addition to your toolbox. Here’s a primer to help you find the one that’s right for you.

Cordless

If you require portability and are only using your hammer drill for light work, such as mounting a TV on a cement or brick wall, a cordless version will serve you well.

Corded

For additional power and more variety in chuck, corded hammer drills are a better choice. They’re ideal if you’re working on a bigger job, like breaking up a concrete floor. Chiseling features are only available on corded models.
