Impact drills, also known as percussion drills, are versatile power tools designed for drilling into a variety of materials, including wood, metal, plastic, and masonry. They combine rotary motion with a rapid hammering action that helps break up hard surfaces, allowing the bit to cut more efficiently in brick, block, and other masonry materials.
Most impact drills feature a switchable hammer function, enabling you to turn off the percussion action for standard drilling tasks. They are equipped with a keyed or keyless chuck to hold round or hex-shank bits, making them compatible with a wide range of drill bits and accessories.
Ideal for both DIY and professional use, impact drills provide a balance of power, speed, and versatility for general construction, renovation, and maintenance work.
