15 best drills

What does a person need in the first place? Housing. People are engaged in its arrangement not one millennium. Of course, during this time, a huge number of various tools and devices were invented to facilitate the work and improve the result. The most significant innovations in the field of construction and repair occurred after the invention of electric motors. Some power tools are designed for one purpose only, others can do a variety of jobs. For example, a hammer drill is a device that combines the functions of a jackhammer and a drill, i.e. can both drill and hammer at the same time.

Entry-level perforators have relatively low power, which is why they can only work with soft concrete and bricks. The main advantage of such models is low weight and ease of use. The main producers of amateur drills are domestic firms, such as Interskol, Bison. Professional tools can boast a capacity of 1500 watts, which is enough to work with stone and concrete, shtabeniya channels and making large holes. In this class are well-known brands: Makita, Bosch, DeWALT.

When buying a punch, you have to take into account several important criteria:

1. Power. The larger the diameter and depth of the holes to be drilled, the more powerful the tool is needed.
2. Impact energy Solid materials and high intensity work require high values ​​of this characteristic.
3. Versatility. If you buy one tool that is planned to be used for concrete, metal and wood, it is logical to consider models with replaceable cartridges.
4. Ergonomics and weight. The lighter and more convenient the perforator, the less tired the user. On the other hand, for heavy work one has to use powerful tools that can not weigh a little.
5. Type of food. Battery models are much more convenient network, but much more expensive and limited in power.

We bring to your attention a review of perforators, in which there are tools popular among amateurs and professionals that have proven themselves in the market. When compiling the rating, the following were taken into account

• the popularity of the model;
• the number of positive reviews;
• price-quality ratio;
• reputation of the manufacturer.

The best inexpensive punchers for the house: a budget of up to 7,000 rubles

For a home, it is not at all necessary to acquire powerful perforators with rich technical characteristics. Having spent the round sum, it is possible to get the tool which opportunities and will not be realized.

Most users need a perforator in order to drill holes for dowels and anchors, drill bricks or concrete, and make holes for the socket. Less commonly, a perforator is used to dismantle the walls, chiselings for wiring and remove concrete surges.

Today, there are many models on sale, including well-known brands, which are actually purchased by spending no more than 7,000 rubles (or even significantly less). For a home, it is quite enough to take models with a power of no more than 850 watts. The maximum impact energy of such "household" tools is on average 2.7 - 3.2 J. All that is more than 12 J is already professional tools, the price of which is from $ 500 and up.

4 ZUBR ZP-26-750 EK

This instrument, with the lowest price in the category, has excellent percussion characteristics. The vertical layout of the perforator, which is quite rare in the budget segment, was specifically designed for a more powerful blow, the maximum value of which for this model is 2.6 J. Therefore, it easily pierces holes in concrete with a diameter of up to 26 mm. The thought-over ergonomics of handles allow to keep the tool reliably in operating time.

Customers are pleasantly surprised by the perforator's performance - according to reviews, the drill goes into concrete like wood. Also, the owners praise a good case and another convenient option - the ability to quickly replace the engine brushes.

3 Makita HR2440

A power of 780 W, an impact energy of 2.7 J and a weight of only 2.3 kg — the characteristics of this perforator make it possible to hold it with one hand, and the maximum diameter of the hole in concrete that it can drill is 24 mm. This is an absolute record in the budget class tool. A slightly higher price does not scare off buyers, for whom the name of the Makita brand is synonymous with quality and attention to the smallest details.

Owners of the puncher approvingly speak about ergonomics and usability of the tool. Reliability and performance, according to reviews, is also at altitude. Well thought out case and build quality of the case are also among the advantages of the models. The only negative is the lack of slotting function.

In short, experienced craftsmen are confident that this puncher is the best option for the home.

The best "proven" drills: price-quality

This rating includes the most popular models of perforators from the famous brands “Bosch”, “Makita” and “DeWALT”. The main criterion for getting into the rating is a large number of positive reviews regarding the quality and reliability of the power tools.

4 AEG KH 24 E

The punch has a mass of 2.4 kg, which is why it is extremely popular among high-altitude workers who are engaged in warming and finishing facades. Such installers have to work without a solid support, so a small tool weight is an essential selection criterion. Despite the ease of the model, the maximum diameter of the hole in concrete that can be drilled with it is 24 mm. There is a screwdriver mode and lock the power button.

Owners praise the reliability of the tool. It is often used for intensive installation work and, according to the owners, it heats up a little and cools quickly. In general, judging by the stories of buyers, if this perforator is properly looked after, it can work without breakdowns for years. Among the shortcomings - the lack of a set of delivery drills and lubricants.

3 DeWALT D25124K

This model has an impact energy of 3.4 J - the best indicator in the category. At the same time, the recoil and vibration damping is also at a high level. Such a perforator is perfect for wiring and installation work, where it is often necessary to lay grooves, make podrozetniki and drill deep holes in concrete. Included is a replaceable keyless chuck, so the tool can work as a powerful drill.

Buyers are particularly pleased with the performance and reliability of the punch. According to reviews, it requires almost no effort from the user - you just need to correctly direct it. Professionals like a good ratio of weight - power, it is recommended, including for high-altitude work. The disadvantage is rather modest equipment: only case and depth gauge.

2 Makita HR2470

The weight of 2.6 kg with a maximum impact energy of 2.4 J is the result of truly competent work of the designers. Adding to this an excellent balance, convenience in work and excellent reliability indicators, we obtain the best tool for home or professional installation work.

The owners unanimously praise the drilling speed, resistance to overheating and long-term non-stop operation, ease of maintenance and maintainability. Excellent marks and well-thought-out ergonomics of the instrument also deserved excellent marks. Minus one: expensive and hard-to-reach parts, for example, replaceable engine brushes.

1 Bosch GBH 2-26 DFR

Bosch GBH 2-26 DFR - one of the most popular models of drills for home and semi-professional use. Number one in our ranking of the most proven perforators! It can work both in the drilling mode and in the slotting mode. There is a system for quick replacement of the cartridge and keyless chuck included.

You can find many positive reviews about Bosch GBH 2-26 DFR. From advantages it is possible to note durability of the tool and high power. Comment from one of the users:

“Do not kill the punch, the best in reliability! Freely takes high grade concrete, which is used for the construction of bridge structures. He heated it to such an extent that his hands did not hold. And not a drop of hint of wear. At the same time he got me b. y 2 years"

Complaints about the tool for the most part are related to marriage and fakes. The fact is that the model is very popular and there is a possibility that, instead of the German assembly, the puncher of the Chinese assembly could fall into the hands of the buyer, with all the ensuing consequences.

Top cordless drills

Any power lead is a potential inconvenience.The power tool requires an outlet or extension cord to be carried along. In addition, in many places there is simply no electricity nearby, for example, when installing advertising structures on the street. In such cases, a battery drill is a good choice. In this category - only the best models with excellent ergonomics. All of them use modern lithium-ion batteries as a power source and have a good mass-to-power ratio.

4 Interskol PA-10 / 14,4R-2

Punch from Interskol is the weakest link in our ranking. But this is not about quality problems - it’s good here, but about low power. The impact energy is only 0.9 J, which means that the tool can only be used on relatively soft materials. However, according to users, the punch is able to make holes in concrete with a diameter of about 16 mm without any problems, which means that ordinary users of the device will be enough for the eyes.

In addition, this model has one important advantage - compact dimensions and extremely low mass, due to which it is very convenient to use it. Before us is a universal device that is able to replace a screwdriver, drill and hammer drill.

User Reviews

Disadvantages: there is no slotting mode; no anti-vibration system;

3 Puncher BOSCH GBH 180-Li 4.0Ah x2

Bosch cordless tools are so popular among builders and installers because the quality of their batteries is always top notch. This punch is no exception. The 18-volt battery charges only 40 minutes, and has a capacity of 4 Ah, with two bundled, which allows you to work without interruptions. The ergonomics of the instrument are well thought out: it is well balanced, has comfortable rubberized handles, and a lock against accidental activation. A nice bonus is the ability to quickly replace the engine brushes without disassembling the tool.

Owners praise the true German build quality of the tool and attention to the smallest details. Listing the advantages of a perforator, customers especially often mention excellent batteries, smooth and precise switching, as well as a convenient case. And although the impact energy is not the largest in the category - 1.7 J, holes with a diameter of up to 20 mm in the concrete it drills without problems.

2 AEG BBH 18 Li-402C

The punch from AEG is a very good choice. It has high power, which allows drilling holes in concrete with a diameter of up to 50 mm. Of course, the impact energy of this model is somewhat lower than that of the leader of the rating, but 2.3 J is sufficient for most of the works.

Ergonomics, as one would expect from a device of this level, at altitude. Change of modes, installation of the drill, adjustment of the depth gauge of drilling - all operations are done literally in a second. The use of the device is also facilitated by the vertical layout of the engine and relatively low mass. In general, albeit an expensive, but high-quality, powerful and convenient punch.

Disadvantages: Relatively high cost; no safety clutch.

1 Makita DHR264Z

Production of the Japanese company Makita is famous among professional builders around the world. Model DHR264Z stands out from the competition with high impact energy and well-thought-out ergonomics. That only is the possibility of using universal batteries, suitable for any wireless equipment Makita. By the way, there are two of them in this perforator at once.Ease of use is also at a height - thanks to the L-shaped form, the high mass of the perforator does not create any inconvenience, and this is very important for the tool that is always in hand. To power also no complaints. Of course, the maximum impact energy of 2.5 J does not allow one to work with very hard materials, but for lightweight concrete and brick it suffices in abundance. It is worth noting a large number of modes of operation and locks for security.

User Reviews

Advantages: High power; three modes of operation (drilling, drilling with impact and chiselling); presence of reverse; anti-vibration system; electronic adjustment of speed; there is a quick cartridge replacement system; relatively low cost.

Disadvantages: High weight (4.7 kg), comes without a case for storage and transportation.

Top professional rotary hammers: energy of impact from 12 J

The maximum impact energy is one of the most important indicators when choosing a perforator. From this value depends on what material it will be possible to work. If lightweight models with an impact energy in the region of 3 J allow only soft concrete and brick to be chiseled, then professional tools (from 12 J) will even drill or crack even hard stone without problems. Of course, the PRO-level tools are also distinguished by a very high mass and ... less functionality. Amateur devices can be used, including as a drill and screwdriver, but representatives of this class are aimed only at drilling with a blow and chiselling.

3 DeWALT D25601K

Against the background of competitors, the puncher from DeWALT seems like a toy The impact energy is “only” 12 J, which is enough for stone and non-reinforced concrete. The main advantage of the model is ease of use. Due to the relatively low mass and very effective vibration damping system, it is possible to work with the tool for a very long time.

In terms of functionality to the D25601K also no complaints. Here you will find the wear indicator for the carbon brushes, and the depth gauge, the safety clutch and the spindle lock. Reliability, judging by the reviews, is also at altitude. In general, we have a great tool to perform complex, but not extreme work.

User Reviews

Advantages: low weight (only 6.8 kg); very effective anti-vibration system; excellent functionality and several degrees of protection; relatively high power.

2 Metabo KHE 96

Punch from Metabo real monster. The eyes are already rounded at the moment when you take it in hand. Yet 11.8 kg is not a joke. Of course, such a mass is due to the most powerful (1.7 kW) engine, which produces an insane 27 J per blow. Also worth noting is the presence of a drilling mode, which the competitors do not have. With such power, any material seems no harder than butter.

By KHE 96 there is only one niggle - layout. Due to the horizontal engine, it is convenient to use the perforator in all situations.

User Reviews

Advantages: The highest power; there is a drilling mode; anti-vibration system; automatic shutdown of carbon brushes when worn.

Disadvantages: High weight (11.8 kg); not recommended for use with small accessories (can break it); high price.

1 Makita HR5211C

The Japanese, as always, on top. Makita HR5211C perforator cannot boast the best figures for all criteria, but it is much cheaper than the silver medalist of our rating. The impact energy is 19.7 J, which is partially offset by a higher frequency of impacts. Judging by the reviews, the model copes with any materials: from brick to reinforced concrete.

The main thing is that the user can cope with the punch itself, because its weight is nearly 10.8 kg. The blessing on the body has a D-shaped handle, which greatly simplifies holding the tool. It should be noted that there is a wear indicator for carbon brushes - a very useful feature.

User Reviews

Advantages: Very high power; excellent reliability (maintains about 5 years with very intensive loads); anti-vibration system; smooth engine start; no shock without load; Included is a grease pack.
