How to choose a hammer?

The most important parameters when choosing a hammer are:

1. Impact force. Be guided by a range of 1.5 to 3 Joules. This will allow you to use the device for a variety of jobs.
2. Rotation frequency. For home not less than 2.6 thousand revolutions per minute, professionals will prefer models with more power.
3. Weight. Too light will walk in the hand when working, too heavy will provide a strong load. The optimal indicator is 2.5-3.6 kg.
4. Power. There are mains models and cordless models. For a mains appliance, pay attention to the length of the cord, so that it is comfortable to move around without being tied to the outlet. In the case of cordless models, choose based on the temperature of use. A lithium-ion battery will work in warm areas, a nickel-cadmium battery will work in cold areas.
5. Power/voltage. A good power for a perforator is 700-800 watts. For a battery, it's 18-24V.
6. Muff. Will protect the tool and the owner of the device in case of breakage.
7. Optional Handle. For comfort and a secure grip on the tool.
8. Reversing system. Perfect for when the drill jams.
9. Chuck type. Exclusively SDS-Plus, in order to quickly and easily change the tooling with its secure fixation.
