    Hammer Drill FAQs

    What is a hammer drill used for?

    A hammer drill is used for drilling into dense materials like brick, stone, and concrete. It combines rotary drilling with a hammering action to make tough jobs easier.

    What’s the difference between a hammer drill and a rotary hammer drill?

    A rotary hammer drill is a more heavy-duty version, using a piston mechanism for greater impact, making it ideal for prolonged drilling in concrete and masonry.

    Can I use a hammer drill for concrete?

    Yes – a hammer drill for concrete is designed to handle the hardness and density of the material. For best results, use a masonry drill bit or SDS drill bit.

    What is an SDS hammer drill?

    An SDS hammer drill uses a special chuck system that holds SDS bits, allowing for more powerful impact and quicker drilling in concrete and stone.

    Are Ryobi hammer drills available cordless?

    Yes – Ryobi offers a wide range of cordless hammer drills and cordless SDS drills that run on the ONE+™ battery system for complete portability.

    Is an 18V hammer drill powerful enough for masonry?

    Absolutely. An 18V cordless hammer drill provides plenty of power for most home and DIY masonry projects, while brushless models deliver even more torque and runtime.

    What’s the difference between a hammer drill and a hammer drill driver?

    A hammer drill driver not only drills into masonry but also works as a screwdriver, making it ideal for all-round use.
