Milwaukee Cordless Hammer DrillLooking for a concrete drill,  are your holes 1/2 inch in diameter or smaller? Here you will find the cordless hammer drill/drivers that will get the job done. These tools are an excellent choice for DIY project enthusiasts and contracting pros that need to tackle small to medium holes in cement, brick, concrete and other materials.

The lighter weight and slightly less powerful cordless hammer drill (compared to the larger Rotary tools) will perform admirably in a tough environment.  Most are equipped with a clutch that is designed to allow the concrete bits to spin and peck. We will call it peck because the blows are short and not nearly as forceful as it’s “big brother,” the rotary hammer drill, can deliver. The action is quick; up to thousands of blows in a single minute. This rapid repetitive motion is extremely fast when compared to a conventional drilling method in concrete and like materials.

The smaller hammer drills have a switch,  some a lever,  that will disengage the clutch. Then you have a powerful cordless drill equipped for many professional contracting projects as well as anything a homeowner may encounter. These tools are superb for medium to medium heavy-weight action.

The Cordless Hammer Drill – A Versatile Invention

Hammer drills could be the most versatile innovation on the power tool market today.  As far back as the early days of the twentieth century there was a form of hammer drilling done with burrowing equipment. It took two men to operate this machinery. Today,  this type of equipment is ancient history. The large mining operations have better, bigger, more efficient machines.

Out of all of this, the idea for smaller, lighter weight hammer drills evolved. Eventually, the cordless hammer drill was born. Now, we are privileged to use one of the most flexible power tools that any DIY enthusiast or homeowner could own. Any task where you need a drill driver?  It’s there with just the flip of a switch. Need to drill the likes of masonry  materials, just change the bit and flip the switch back. With a few accessories, you can polish, grind , sand, tap and screw with a cordless hammer drill.

The cordless hammer drill is truly a worthwhile investment.
