Hand Drills

What are the requirements for a hand drill for rock?

When choosing a hand drill for drilling in rock, there are specific requirements that the tool must meet. This is essential for working efficiently and safely in hard materials such as granite, limestone or basalt.

The most important requirements:

1. Durability and Materials

High-quality Materials: The drill and drill bits must be made of wear-resistant material such as carbide or diamond for long-term use in hard rocks.
Impact resistance: The tool must be able to withstand intensive mechanical stress, such as hitting with a hammer.

2. Drilling capacity

Hole depth and diameter: The hand drill must be able to make holes with the correct depth and diameter for the type of anchors you want to place.
Adaptation to rock type: The tool must be suitable for both soft and hard rock types.

3. Ease of use

Ergonomic Design: Comfortable handles to reduce fatigue during long-term use.
Compact and Lightweight: Easy to transport, especially in remote locations. 4. Efficiency
Rotation and Impact: The hand drill must provide a good balance between rotation and impact to effectively drill through hard rock.
Compatibility: Suitable for different types of drill bits (for example SDS drills or cylindrical drills).

5. Safety

Stability: The drill must be sturdy so that it does not slip or make unexpected movements during use.
Non-slip Grip: Ensures a firm grip, even in wet conditions.

6. Maintenance and Repair

Easy to Clean: The design must allow for easy removal of dust and debris.
Available Spare Parts: Spare drill bits and replacement parts must be easily available.

Recommended Extras

Hammer Function: Some hand drills have an integrated hammer function for extra impact power.
Drill Set: Several drill bits in a set for different sizes and applications.
