<p>Drills are power tools used to make holes in materials, as well as loosening and tightening screws and bolts. The main consideration when selecting a drill is the material you will be working on, as harder materials will require higher power inputs and possibly additional features, such as hammer action.</p><p>At RS, we have a vast range of corded and cordless power drills available from a large selection of brands, including industry leaders like Bosch, DeWALT and Makita, as well as our own professional brand, RS PRO.</p><h2>What type of drills are available?</h2><p><strong>Drill Drivers</strong> - Drill drivers combine two functionalities; the drilling of holes and the driving screws into the hole. Most quality drills are equipped with user-defined speeds and torque settings to adapt to any job in hand. Drill drivers offer a lower torque setting, providing a smooth screwing process.</p><p><strong>Combi Drills</strong> - A combi drill is a multi-purpose tool, with most having a keyless chuck to hold any drill bits. It can be used at high speed for drilling applications into a variety of materials such as masonry, woods, metals and plastics, with the added functionality of hammer action. With the correct screw driving bit, you can drive screws in easily.</p><p><strong>Impact Drills and Drivers</strong> - Offering similar characteristics to a drill driver however, it provides more torque and power for driving in screws and hex bolts. Impact drill/drivers typically only offer one gear, but great torque making it great if you need to drill through tough, knotty wood or metals.</p><p><strong>Hammer Drills</strong> - Hammer drills increase the force applied to the bit when being drilled. Similar in principle to a jackhammer, this action provides a greater force to harder materials such as stone and masonry, driving the drill bit into the material.</p><p><strong>SDS Drills</strong> - These are more powerful versions of a hammer drill and use a slotted drive system to increase the force for drilling and chiselling. Designed mainly to be used on hard materials such as concrete, stone and masonry and other heavy-duty applications. You can learn more in <a href="https://uk.rs-online.com/web/generalDisplay.html?id=ideas-and-advice/sds-drills-guide">our complete guide to SDS drills</a>.</p><p><strong>Angle Drills</strong> - Angled drills have the functionality of a combi drill but with a 90 degree bent head. Seen to compliment the combi, angle drills are ideal for those hard to reach areas. The angled head allows for a smaller drill bit, making it easier to drive screws or drill materials in a confined space.</p><p><strong>Magnetic Drills</strong> - Magnetic drills (also known as mag drills) are essentially a portable bench drill for drilling metals. The base of the drill uses magnets to lock itself to the material to prevent it moving during drilling. Magnetic drills are most often used with annular cutters for an accurate cut.</p>

SDS Drills | RS

<p>An SDS Drill is a type of rotary power drill designed specifically for heavy-duty applications and drilling into materials such as concrete, brick and mortar. An SDS stands for Slotted Drive System and use specialist drill bits with slots in which enable the bit to move foward and baward within the chuck.Rotary hammer drills can combine rotation with a hammer action, which allows you to chisel at tough surface materials. Hammer drills have a work mode selection s which allows the user to choose between:</p><ul><li>Rotary Mode - Most drill users will be familiar with this mode where the chuck rotates the drill bit and the bit bites into the material. To be used only on soft or light materials. You can use standard drill bits in this mode with an SDS+ drill chuck adaptor.</li><li>Rotary with Hammer Mode - This is as above; however, the piston inside the drill will drive forward, in turn driving the drill bit forward. This is the most common mode used when using an SDS+ drill as it achieves the desired goal.</li><li>Hammer Only Mode - This is also known as ‘rotary stop’ or ‘chisel’ mode. The rotary motion of the drill is switched off and the hammer action only is applied. The piston inside moves back and forth driving the drill bit (usually a chisel or point SDS+ bit) back and forth, driving it in turn into the material.</li></ul><h2>Where SDS drills are used? </h2><p>SDS drills are employed in many industries, including:</p><ul><li>Demolition</li><li>Construction</li><li>Plumbing</li><li>Electrical</li><li>Carpentry</li></ul><h2>What type of SDS Hammer drills are available? </h2><p>There are three main types of SDS Hammer Drills:</p><ul><li>Compact Hammers - These are the most commonly used of the SDS range and use the SDS Plus bits</li><li>Midsize Hammers - Suitable for heavier-duty applications and do not operate in a rotary only mode. These use the SDS-Max bits.</li><li>Demolition Hammers - For demolition work and heavy-duty use and do not operate in rotary only mode.</li></ul><h2>What's the difference between SDS Hammer and Hammer drills?</h2><p>SDS Rotary Hammer Drills are similar to Hammer Drills in that they also pound the drill bit in and out while it's spinning. They use a piston mechanism instead of a special clutch enabling them to deliver a much more powerful hammer blow than traditional Hammer Drills - they are able to drill larger holes much faster.</p>
