Hammer drills combine rotation with a hammering action for drilling into masonry, while percussion drills use rapid, percussive thrusts for heavy-duty tasks in harder materials like concrete and stone.

What materials are these types of drills good for drilling into?

Hammer drills excel in brick, concrete, and masonry, while percussion drills are better for intense applications in concrete, stone, and demolition work.

What safety precautions should be taken when using these drills?

Wear safety goggles and ear protection, ensure drill bits are securely fastened, maintain a firm grip, be aware of your surroundings, and follow the manufacturer's safety instructions.

How can you tell if you need a hammer vs a percussion drill for a particular job?

Choose a hammer drill for basic masonry work and a percussion drill for more intensive tasks like breaking through hard materials or demolition, based on the material and job nature.

What maintenance is required to keep them working properly?

Regularly clean the drill, lubricate moving parts, inspect cords and batteries, replace worn drill bits, and refer to the user manual for specific model maintenance instructions.
