8 unusual functions of the hammer drill: shovel, drill, hammer, grinder, chisel, wood splitter, mixer

In a home workshop, a hammer drill is an indispensable unit for repair. The attachments, like other tools, make this tool even more functional.

A hammer drill is needed for drilling in hard materials (brick, stone, concrete, etc.). However, he does not just drill holes, but punches them with a drill. There are 3 main jobs: chiselling, drilling, drilling. By weight, perforators are divided into heavy (from 5 kg), light (up to 4 kg), medium (4.5 kg).

There is a danger of being faced when drilling with reinforcement. To do this, use carbide-tipped drills.

Unusual use of a hammer drill

1. The tool can become an electric hammer if you insert a special attachment.

It can be used to hammer in nails (chiselling function). The same attachment will also help loosen rusted nuts and bolts.

2. The tool can split the wood chips into small pieces without effort. Thereby replacing the ax. The nozzle is sold as a cone. Effective in drilling plus chiseling mode. However, it does not work with large and raw chocks. An irreplaceable helper when firing up a stove in a bathhouse or at home. See the work

3. A mixer attachment has been on sale in stores for a long time.

With its help, a solution is prepared from dry mixtures (for example, plaster). Mixes well and no need to buy or rent a concrete mixer. See how I mixed the solution with a perforator kitchen mixer attachment.

4. A hammer drill with a nozzle - a spatula (chisel) will help knock down old plaster, concrete, remove tiles, etc.

It will help to neatly remove the grout between the tiles. It is convenient and quick to caulk a log house with tow, jute using a spatula nozzle.

5. There is one more attachment. The chisel-shovel for a perforator digs up dense soil, clay soil without effort. You can do it yourself, weld a drill with a shovel.

6. The device can work as an electric meat grinder. You just need to remove the shaft from a conventional meat grinder and connect it to the hammer drill with a bolt.

7. Buy a drill chuck and hammer drill adapter. Attach the adapter to the chuck for a useful attachment. You can put in it what is inserted into the drill.

8. An earth drill can dig a hole, any hole. Useful for installing fence posts, building gazebos, wells, etc. The attachment can be spiral or with circular knives. It is better to take a perforator with a power of 850 kW or more. A home craftsman will make such a nozzle himself from a sheet of tin, a drill, a pipe and a steel disc.
