Rotary Hammer/Demolition Hammer

A rotary hammer, also known as a demolition hammer or a jackhammer, is a type of power tool that is used for drilling into concrete, brick, and other hard materials, as well as for breaking up concrete and other hard materials. It typically has a long handle that is made of plastic or rubber and a head that contains a motor and a striking mechanism.

The striking mechanism uses a piston that rapidly moves up and down, delivering a hammering action to the drill bit or chisel. This allows the rotary hammer to drill into hard materials quickly and efficiently, and also provide high impact energy to break up concrete and other hard materials.

Rotary hammers come in different sizes and designs, depending on the intended use. Some rotary hammers are designed for drilling only, while others are designed for both drilling and chiselling. Some rotary hammers are corded and others are cordless.

It is important to use the correct rotary hammer for the task and to make sure that the rotary hammer is well-maintained, with a tight handle and a sharp drill bit or chisel. It is also important to wear safety glasses, ear protection, and to follow proper technique when using a rotary hammer to avoid injury.
