Cheap Cordless drill

[big-all]

Well technically he's right, it's not a hammer drill. It's a percussion drill.

same thing really percussion means hit

Still, there's a world of difference between a combi and a real hammer drill.

aaahhh i see what's happening here we have different "ideas" or "perceptions" in our heads correct me if i am wrong

to me hammer action is a term that applies to all drills with percussion being a new word for it

to you hammer perhaps is connected with perhaps sds or maybe even a kango/jack hammer

in the same way that i cut a trench with a router and to someone else its a jcb

Look up the actual mechanism of the drills at some point and you'll see where I'm coming from.

A combi drill 'hammer' action is basically a load of spring loaded ball bearings, whereas a true hammer drill actually has a hammer inside it (similar mechanism to an impact wrench, iirc).

Thanks for everyones help.
I got the Ryobi one in the end. Just need to find a case for it now.

Seems very good build and more powerful than my old one, althouh that one was a cheap one.

Thanks again.

Also remember that voltage isn't everything, especially on cheaper tools.
Power and battery capacity is the product of the voltage and the ampage of the battery.
for example 14.4v x 3.2ah= 46.8wh
whereas 18v x 2.4 ah=43.2wh

Therefore the 14.4 volt battery would have greater capacity

Doesnt a higher voltage give greater torque though?
Or did I just get salesmaned?

depends on the gearing what manufacturers tend to do is to reduce the rpm on smaller tools via the gearing to improve the torque
