Klutch Rotary Hammers

Rotary Hammers

When a basic hammer drill doesn't offer enough force for challenging concrete drilling projects, upgrade to a rotary hammer. Piston technology gives these tools plenty of percussive force, quickly drilling even the deepest holes for rebar or wiring in thick layers of concrete and masonry. Add a chipping bit for surface-level work that requires careful application of force. Rotary hammers are an excellent tool for drilling and chiseling concrete and masonry. Their functionality also makes them a trusty sidekick for demolition. This incredible power tool is often confused for a hammer drill but has one feature that sets it apart: an internal piston mechanism. The piston mechanism produces more impact energy than a hammer drill's clutch which makes the rotary hammer the top performer. Northern Tool + Equipment carries top-of-the-line rotary hammers from trusted brands including Bosch, Milwaukee, and Ironton. Besides the great power these tools provide, there are additional benefits that make them a popular choice including versatility and comfort. Rotary hammers offer operators multiple settings with which they can turn the hammer and rotating modes on and off. These options allow the user to complete tasks with more efficiency and precision. Rotary hammers, compared to other impact tools, have a slower rate of blows and more powerful impact so users can complete more work with less force. This feature allows the tool to vibrate less, making it more comfortable for contractors to operate for lengthy periods of time. Cushioned handles assist in vibration reduction.

When comparing rotary hammer models, carefully consider which power source is best suited for your needs. Cordless rotary hammers offer great portability, easy storage, and eliminate all tripping hazards posed by cords. Their powerful batteries, when fully charged, can provide users with long operating time but the drawback to cordless units is decreased power. Due to their continuous power supply, corded rotary hammers retain their power and performance. They are also more widely available and less costly than cordless. A rotary hammer's impact power is measured in blows per minute (BPM). Northern's selection includes tools reaching between 3,700-5,100 BPM. Additional features available in this selection of rotary hammers includes variable speed and reverse functionality as well as depth rods and side handles.
