As the impact is generated purely mechanically here, the impact hammer drill lacks the actual propulsion. In contrast to the rotary hammer, the impact drill requires a huge amount of force when drilling hard materials. This makes it possible to use the impact drill as a traditional drill too. The impact of the impact drill can be completely deactivated with a switch when drilling wood or plasterboard. The impact hammer drill generates the impact purely mechanically through the arrangement of the gears in the transmission.

Through its mechanical impact mechanism, the drill used offsets the actual impact into vibrating movements. The impact drill is, as already mentioned, a universal tool that can be used both for drilling, with or without impact, or for screwing in screws.
