If you're a do-it-yourselfer, you probably already own a cordless drill or driver. So, you might be wondering why you need a cordless hammer drill like the Stanley SDH700 Hammer Drill 13mm 700W. Good question.

A hammer drill can drill holes and drive screws, like a drill or driver, but it's also specially engineered to perform one other task: bore holes through concrete, brick, stone and other masonry materials with astonishing speed and ease.

A hammer drill combines bit rotation with concussive blows that absolutely pulverizes concrete. As a result, you can bore masonry holes at least three times faster than with a standard drill. Think of it as a mini-jackhammer. As the drill bit spins, an internal hammer pounds on the bit with machine-gun staccato to blast holes into the hardest, most abrasive masonry materials. And as with any drill, you must use carbide-tipped masonry bits for such applications.

A hammer drill is also the tool to use whenever you need to drill into brick or the mortar joints between the brick. This hammer drill can be used like a standard cordless drill or driver for drilling holes and driving screws into a wide variety of materials.
