🔫 Hammer for home and garden: specifications, models, recommendations

appointment Drifters

Punch functionality is quite extensive. In addition to conventional drilling holes in the walls, it is possible to set different nozzles, via which allow to peck and Stroebe walls of the channels for electric cable. In the drill mode can be used as a hammer drill, there are even adapters with SDS to a conventional clamp, as a drill and screwdriver. You can meet and unusual use - as a power tool. However, the original wrench is equipped with a powerful mechanism ratchet, preventing shock loads. But in rotary hammers this protective mechanism is not, so to use it in such a role should be cautious and low-volume work.

Design and Function

Technically, the punch is pretty simple. Inside it is a motor that via a pneumatic or electromagnetic pulse the hammer mechanism transmits. That, in turn, transmits the energy of borax or any other nozzle. At the nozzle blows transmitted and rotational movement. Thus, the hammer drill is not material, and prodalblivaet hole in it and, by rotating the drill design and outputs a waste outwardly, sinking deeper into the material. Nozzles are inserted by SDS mechanism developed by Bosch. He has become a tradition for all rotary hammers. Its principle consists in fixing the nozzle in a holder with locking beads and guides that are provided special grooves formed on the surfaces of all the nozzles. In general, SDS mechanism is arranged so that the drill can be quickly removed or replaced by another in just a few movements.

species

The producers themselves, especially the well-known brands - Bosch, Makita and similar, divide your instrument into two broad categories - consumer and professional. Everything is logical - home to home and garden, professional - for builders and decorators. Smaller companies do not have such a clear gradation. Their tool is typically selected based on the performance / price ratio.

Structurally drills may have a horizontal and vertical position of the engine and components. The official language is called linear and angular layout. The horizontal arrangement is more convenient, as it allows you to work in confined spaces, for example, between the columns and other architectural elements. Angle drills are usually more powerful and designed for large volumes of work - long drilling in solid walls or chipping. Suitable for home use perfectly linear, ie, the horizontal layout.

According to the type of food can be divided into two main popular categories - network, powered by the mains and battery powered by batteries. It is also worth mentioning the petrol and pneumatic types. But they are rare, in the specific conditions and needs are relatively expensive. The best option for the home - common network punch. It does not require batteries and has sufficient work for all household power. Cordless rotary hammer home, most likely, most of his life will lie dead weight. But the battery has to work as a total storage capacity over time will be reduced. Therefore, the power punch for home or garden is the most advantageous from an economic point of view.

How to choose a punch for home and garden

Home, usually selected "strong middling": average, but sufficient for the majority of the power of work, the average degree of reliability and relatively low cost. Less one punch is selected for a specific task - for example, the finish of the facade, and remains on the holding already as it is, with a certain set of characteristics. In any case, you need to know the theory of the selection of this tool, which we now describe.

In performance

Characteristics by which you can make a start, only two - the power and speed. The power of the force of impact depends. The higher the output - the greater the range of tasks can perform tool. You can use this approach if you need to drill holes for drywall, it is necessary to pay attention to models with a capacity from 500 to 800 watts. For drilling holes of large diameter of 25 mm, and the wall material is high-density look better to the more powerful models - 800 watts and above.

the rotation speed is less important, but nevertheless, in practice, a high speed rotation of the cartridge increases the speed of the work. More often than not particularly worry about this feature will not have to. The relationship between her and power are usually straight. That is, the higher power - higher speed.

According to the arrangement of the engine

We have already touched in passing on this topic. Let us examine it in more detail. Angular layout is usually designed for the so-called "routine" operations. When, for example, to drill a plurality of holes in the "complex" basis. They are most often used on large areas of facades and for interior decoration. The linear arrangement is more flexible, that is, a hammer can be used for large areas and awkward angles and hard to reach places. That is, in the home, horizontal punch will be more versatile and cope with 90% of the work required.

According to the modes of operation

The maximum number of modes that can be present in punch - three. This drilling, chiselling and drilling with slotting. The latter is present at every punch always as slotting, as this is the main functionality of the tool. Drilling may be absent, although such drills are becoming increasingly rare. If you buy a new tool, the more likely all three regimes are in place.

Features and capabilities

Hammers can be equipped with additional bonuses that do not affect the basic functionality, but it will make your work more convenient tool. And the first thing you should pay attention to - the reverse. Although, it should be noted that the reverse is currently not only very cheap models from under heaven. In the reverse is rarely used, however, when a jam occurs in the drill drilled grounds reverse greatly help out.

Therefore, the reverse - a small but very useful feature.

For large volumes of work handy lock button engine. There it is, in order not to press constantly on the trigger starting the engine. Fixing a punch in one drill mode, you can work with one hand. Sometimes it is very convenient. It should be noted that the fixation equipped with almost all modern tools, even from the most budget segment.

Should tell a little about the additional equipment. It handles for easy grip of the second hand stops drilling depth case studies, and more. Directly to the job they do not affect the gun, but make it more comfortable. Therefore, if the budget allows you to select a model with additional features worth taking, it is useful.

leading manufacturers

Brand names that produce the guns, are familiar to all. Nevertheless, we have a little go through the most popular producers who have managed to win the trust of many masters and users around the world.

• Bosch. German group of companies that manufactures almost everything - from the headlamps of vehicles to plants for heating networks. It was at Bosch developed the first punch on electricity. In addition, the company has made an enormous contribution to the development of the industry, for example, to make life easier for many users SDS nozzle switching mechanism. Bosch tool is still in high demand all over the world;
• Makita. Japanese brand, the main focus is the production of power. At the moment is one of the leading representatives of the industry;
• DeWALT. Against all stereotypes, this is an American brand, and is pronounced "DeWalt". The most popular in the United States the power tool manufacturer. Characterized by excellent quality and reliability, but also has a high cost;
• Hitachi. A huge conglomerate of companies producing electronics equipment. Models on the market now is not so much, and the quality was different not in the best way. But the price of this tool significantly decreased relative to what it was a few years ago;
• Interskol. Probably the only Russian manufacturer of power tools, which has its own facilities and equipment for the complete manufacturing cycle. Naturally, the production cost is very democratic, and quality and reliability are often not inferior to foreign brands;
• AEG. The brand currently drills and similar power tools produces a Chinese company TTi. In this case, the rights to the brand owned by Electrolux. However, AEG - is a good budget tool for the needs of home and garden.
