The difference between impact drill and electric hammer

working principle
The impact drill mainly relies on rotation and impact to work. Although a single impact is very slight, the impact frequency of up to 40000 times per minute can generate continuous force; Electric hammers, on the other hand, mainly rely on rotation and striking to work. The individual striking force is very high and has a high striking frequency, with a striking frequency of 1000 to 3000 per minute, which can generate significant force.
Applicable objects
Impact drills are mainly suitable for drilling holes in wood, metal, ceramics, and plastics. They can also be used to drill holes in concrete floors, walls, bricks, and stone materials, but the effect is not very ideal. On the other hand, electric hammers are very effective in drilling holes in harder concrete, stone materials, and wall bricks, generating strong impact force. With the effect of rotary drilling, the force can crack stones and divide gold.
Comparison of advantages and disadvantages
The impact drill has a wide range of uses and is easy to use. However, the direction of the impact drill is not easy to grasp during use, which can lead to operational errors and result in larger holes. In addition, the drill bit is not sharp, causing the holes to be uneven, resulting in burrs or cracks. The advantage of an electric hammer is high efficiency, large aperture, and long drilling depth. The disadvantage is that it vibrates greatly and has a certain degree of destructive effect on surrounding structures.
Is it better to use an impact drill or an electric hammer for decoration?
The impact drill also has a slight hammering effect, suitable for drilling holes in metal, ceramic tiles, wood, and can also drill reinforced concrete. It is generally suitable for household furniture assembly, installation of shelves, lighting fixtures, etc; Electric hammers not only have the ability to drill but also have a high hammering effect, making them suitable for drilling holes in concrete and stone materials. They are the first choice for professional installation and engineering construction.
