Hilti<\/a> is a dominate force in the concrete industry and its concrete tools enjoy a stellar reputation. There are quite a number of Hilti hammer drill and rotary hammer models to choose from, and we’re going to help you decide which ones are best for the way you work. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hilti Hammer Drill Vs Hilti Rotary Hammer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before we jump in too far, we need to clarify some terms. Many folks ask for a Hilti hammer drill when they are actually looking for a rotary hammer, or rotary hammer drill. What’s the difference? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both use a combination of rotation and chipping action to drill holes in concrete, but they’re very different classes of tool. When you’re shopping, a hammer drill typically refers to a drill driver that has an additional hammer mode built into it. These tend to be smaller pistol grip tools that run at higher RPMs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rotary hammers, or rotary hammer drills, are larger tools that typically spin at lower RPMs but with much greater hammering force. They’re capable of drilling larger holes and often include a chipping mode to break concrete, clear tile, and more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
