By default, a hammer drill is a purely repair tool for drilling in impact mode, knocking out niches, grooves in walls and various dismantling works. However, its functionality is much broader; you just need to install the right equipment, which you can do yourself.

Wood splitter from a rotary hammer


For this homemade project you will need a plumb line in the shape of a cone and an old drill.

This attachment is used for chopping firewood in impact mode with drilling. The presence of cuts makes it easier to bite into the wood and speeds up its splitting. Due to the width of the cone, the logs are split along the entire length, and there is no need to tear them apart with your hands. Using such a tool, you can prepare firewood very quickly, provided that an assistant positions the logs vertically. At the same time, you don’t even have to lift them onto the deck, as when working with a regular cleaver.

Hammer for driving posts into the ground


If you need to drive many posts into the ground, a hammer attachment will be useful. It consists of a steel plate with a drill shank welded at a right angle.

The nozzle is used in impact mode. She places herself on top of the pillar and drives it into the ground with blows.
This device significantly increases labor productivity during one-ton hammering. The viability of the nozzle depends on the density of the soil and the diameter of the pillars. As a result of numerous impacts, its welding may not withstand, so the plate will need to be welded again. Even if repairs are made, the job will be completed faster than using a hammer. In addition, with this tool, your arms and back will be less strained.

Wide chisel blade for dismantling


Chisels for rotary hammers offered for sale are too narrow, so many tasks take an extremely long time to complete. If you need to split bricks or knock down a layer of old plaster, it is more convenient to use a wide spatula. To make it, just weld a thick steel plate of the desired width onto the drill shank and sharpen it.

Nail hammer


By equipping a hammer drill with the right attachment, you can even hammer nails quickly and easily. To make it, you will also need a shank, but instead of a plate on a nail hammer, a welded pad made from a regular nut is used as the striking surface.

This rig is used in impact mode. It should be noted that due to the impact on the nail at the same angle, it is less likely to bend than when driven in with a hammer.

    For a pile driver, it is better to weld not just a platform, but weld 10-15 centimeters of pipe cuttings onto the platform (of such a width that the pile can freely pass to the site). Then you will not need to spend extra effort on holding the perfer on the butt plate of the pile.

    1, isn’t it easier to hammer in a nail? 2, I don’t believe that the welding will hold.

      It has long been tested and proven that hammering nails with a hammer drill is really stupid. So just play around for once. But if you need to score at least 5 pieces, then by the end of the work the punch will fall out of your hands. And if you need it somewhere in a hard-to-reach place, then a hammer drill is not an option at all.

    It's fine for chopping wood. Everything else... Should I make a chisel when it comes with the punch? To hammer in the posts, you can use a crown for socket boxes, which craftsmen usually also have...

    In standard sets, narrow chisels come with the punch, which is not always convenient. As for nails, with a barrel hammer hammer nails into the ceiling, mine weighs more than 5 kg, how long will it take for the nails to fall off the front limbs? I’ll definitely try the wood splitter. To the author rep.

    You can also knock down ball or steering ends. Weld a 18-20mm bolt to the drill shank, at the end. You press the head of the bolt against the seat cone and the ball momentarily flies out.
