Power requirement

• 110V supply required.
• If you only have 230 to 240V mains, you will normally need a suitable site transformer to run 110V equipment. 110V Percussion Drill Hire London is particularly suited to construction and refurbishment environments where 110V tools are preferred for safer temporary power setups.

Important notes

• Bit selection matters: use masonry bits for brick and block, and HSS bits for metal.
• Do not use hammer mode when drilling metal or wood.
• Return condition: return reasonably clean. Heavy residue may incur a cleaning fee.

Frequently asked questions

Why 110V instead of 240V?
110V tools are the UK construction site standard. They run from a 240V to 110V step-down transformer and reduce the risk of electric shock on site. If you are working on an active construction site, 110V is almost certainly required by your site safety rules.

Can I use this at home with a normal plug socket?
Not directly. You need a 240V to 110V transformer to power it from a standard domestic socket. We hire transformers if you need one. If you are working in a domestic setting and do not have a transformer, our cordless SDS drill is a better option.

What can I use a percussion drill for?
Drilling into masonry, brick, block, and concrete for fixings, anchors, and through-holes. The hammer action drives the bit into hard materials that a standard drill cannot penetrate. It is also used for general drilling in wood and metal with the hammer function switched off.

What size chuck does it have?
13 mm keyed chuck accepting standard round shank drill bits. For SDS-Plus shank bits, you would need our SDS rotary hammer instead.

Is it heavy enough for concrete lintels and dense block?
For light to medium masonry work it is effective. For dense concrete, lintels, or structural concrete, our SDS rotary hammer or breaker would be faster and less fatiguing. The percussion drill is best suited to brick, block, and mortar.
