Product details
Use the side switch to change between the hammer drill's three functions. You can use the rotary only mode for straight drilling, the hammer only mode for downward pressure and the rotary hammer mode for both of these functions combined. The drill or chisel components clip securely into the chuck and can be removed by pulling back the chuck collar.
You can hook this machine up to a dust extractor to reduce debris. Reduce impact fatigue in your hand with the easy-grip handle, which gives you full control over the tool while keeping you comfortable.
