Power tools make it easier and speed up the process. You don't NEED them. Hammer and chisel is fine if you're willing to do the work or if you have the time. If you're planning on getting one tool, get the rotary hammer IMO

A basic like rotary hammer drill is a must if you are DIY person. It help you to speed up the work and the quality of the work. Nowaday power tools don't cost you much.

I don't think a rotary hammer is a basic tool for a DIY-er, because you don't use this everyday. For DIY-ers, you should be slowly adding to your tool collection (unless you're rich enough to buy everything at once), starting from the most commonly used tools such as power drills etc depending on the kind of DIY work you're planning to do.

Nothing wrong with getting one if the price is right, but I don't think this is an essential.

The first power tools that I brought when get a new house is the hammer drill. It is the only tools that I can hang anything. It is also a basic tool to conceal anything. If you don't want to get others power tools, a hammer drill is a must. I don't know what I can do with my new home whithout this tools.

Even now I seldom use it after settle everything, I still need it for home maintainance. Need to drill some hole for new items add in. Need it to replace some conceal item if spoil.

I did have some power tools to add in like orbiter sander, grinder, chain saw, wood rotary saw, bench drill, hand drill etc after some time. But many are in dust after getting lazy.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but I think a rotary hammer drill and a hammer drill are two different types of tools. A rotary hammer drill is not a basic DIY tool.

There are same tools. All rotary hammer drill have 3 functions (hack, drill, hack+drill). For normal light hacking jobs this tools is good enough. If for heavy duty demolition (rc/pillar hack) then you must need the demolition hammers. Try to get good branding tools, don't ever buy cheap 'japalang' china made wan, not lasting. I believe since you are DIY man, you save cost a lot already. So try spend some money on good tools, act like pro ma.....

Isn't a hammer drill one where you can choose whether to drill normally or to use the hammer function, whereas a rotary hammer drill is one where the rotary hammer is working at all times? As for the functions, hack, drill, hack+drill I think there are a few types that can do this. Usually a hammer drill is used in a DIY setting, whereas a rotary hammer drill is used on construction sites as it is a professional tool.

I agree with you...no point getting lousy tools. Going for quality usually pays off. Been using Bosch mostly, but there's a Black&Decker stud finder I'm looking for brows.gif

hi guys..
i was experienced too for conceal wire in the wall,
if u r using the rite tools its not really hard to do it. as i know hammer drill is not to use to hack the wall. its just use for to make a hole. yes its has hack function.
u should using jack hammer.. trust me, ur works easy if using this, but before u hack the wall u must use this below thing. i dont know the name. and not that angled grinder..
but it is worth for u to buy this two tools? its aint cheap bro..

I think it'll take a longer time using a hammer drill. Maybe acceptable for DIY, but not so good for a professional. I think a rotary hammer drill would be a good choice, but of course it depends on the kind of DIY work you'll be doing. Different products for different needs

There are the same. But rotary hammer have 1 more function which is just a hammer. Rotary hammer drill have drill only, hammer drill and hammer. Rotary hammer provide more punch joule compare hammer drill.

I wish to get the rotary hammer if I knew it exist at that time. Make my DIY work much more faster.

No need so hardcore lah. We are small time DIY only. Rotary hammer drill will do the job.

You can use hammer drill to hack too. Hammer drill the hole along the line that you want to hack. As many as possible. Than slant your tools and hack drill connect the hole along. Finish up with some chisel and hammer. It is a bit slow. But still can do the job.

I think we'll agree to disagree here. Both are similar, yet different tools. They perform similar functions, but operate in a slightly different manner, so they cannot be the same tool. A hammer drill is not powered by a piston AFAIK.
