Talk:Hammer drill

Untitled

What's the best drill to drive a screw in to cement behind drywall in order to hang a heavy mirror? A battery driven screwdriver drill- but this is not the place for such a question --Satrughna (talk) 14:20, 7 April 2009 (UTC)

Percussion drill, Impact drill, Hammer drill, Rotary hammer (drill): varying terminology in English creates problems for Interwiki links.

In order for the interwiki links to work, it would be best two make two different articles in the English Wikipedia too, as in the aforementioned languages. One for Percussion drill and one for Rotary hammer or Rotary hammer drill. There are lots of clear pictures on Commons as well:

I went with the split and reverted Rosguill's redirect of rotary hammer back to hammer drill. I checked Black & Decker's name usage and they seem to call a rotary hammer either that, or "hammer, or "compact hammer", or "pneumatic hammer drill". I could not find any instances where they call it just a "hammer drill", but these could of course still exist. Other terms for rotary hammer found on occasion are "(electric) chipping hammer", "chiseling hammer" and "chiseling drill". These may be added if properly sourced. 87.184.20.96 (talk) 09:41, 8 September 2018 (UTC)

Invention of hammer drill

This article ascribes the invention of the hammer drill to James D. Smith in 1975. However, the Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation claims that in 1935, it was selling a lightweight 3/4-inch electric hammer drill. See: http://www.milwaukeetool.com/About/MilwaukeeStory/HistoryOfMilwaukee.aspx , section titled "Setting The Standard", paragraph beginning "In 1935, Milwaukee...".

I concur. 1975 seems way late and can't be true. Hilti had a product on the market in 1967 and doesn't even claim to have invented the product! --Areback (talk) 00:37, 25 October 2009 (UTC)

Pneumatic Hammer drills have been in use since at least 1860 to drill holes for explosives. Bosch is selling electric hammer drills since 1932, see http://www.bosch-presse.de/TBWebDB/en-US/PressText.cfm?&Search=1&id=3000 78.54.142.20 (talk) 18:13, 4 July 2010 (UTC)

Sparks during operation

"The sparking produced by the motor components of most hammer drills is normal." This seems out of place, not specific to a hammer drill and doesn't contribute to the article. I'm removing it. 69.129.65.62 (talk) 18:00, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

Hilti

I like Hilti but there are too much links.!--Stone (talk) 17:35, 13 October 2013 (UTC)

Organization

The layout of this article seems disjointed. It begins by discussing the difference in implementation between percussion cam-actuated drills and rotary hammers, then repeats itself again in a later section dedicated to rotary hammers once again. A small summary is alright for the intro, but all the rotary hammer info needs to be consolidated into one section. Pariah24 ┃ ☏ 16:55, 17 August 2016 (UTC)
