Electric drills and impact drills are relatively common tools in our lives and both can be used to drill holes, which is why many people are confused. In this article, we will look at differences between them so that when buying, you can buy more suitable tools.
Their differences are as follows:
The electric drill is a low power motor that drives transmission gear to increase rotational force of drill so that drill can drill objects easily.
When an impact drill uses rotary drilling, it is same as an electric drill. When it is converted to impact mode, gear jumps on inner shaft, reciprocating compression piston in impact piston cylinder, and compressed gas pushes hammer of impact piston cylinder. forward.
It can be seen from principle that an electric drill drills in rotary mode, while an impact drill can not only rotate drill like an electric drill, but also switch to impact mode for impact drilling.
Then different materials are used. Electric drills are suitable for drilling holes in materials that require little effort, such as cork, metal, brick and tile, while impact drills are suitable for natural stone or concrete.
So difference between them is different working principles, different modes and different fields of use. For our home use, we usually use them to drill wood, brick, tile and other materials, and an electric drill is basically enough.
When using an electric drill, attention should be paid to check whether electric drill is insulated. During use, do not apply too much force, so as not to break drill. If abnormal conditions occur such as vibration, stop using it in time and check it. If you are changing a drill, you must make sure that drill has stopped. After use, turn off power in time to avoid danger.
This concludes this article on difference between electric drills and impact drills. I hope it will be useful to you. Pay attention to additional hardware tools~
