The Hireload rotary hammer is supplied for masonry, concrete drilling and light chiselling where suitable. Drill and chisel fitment can vary by unit supplied, so confirm correct drill bits, chisels and accessories before booking.
Is it suitable for concrete?
Yes, where suitable. Suitability for concrete depends on material, hole size, fixing type, access, drilling position, power setup and unit supplied. Confirm the exact material, hole size and accessories before booking.
Can it drill brick and block?
Yes, where suitable. Use the correct masonry drill bit for the material and hole size. Suitability depends on material, hole size, fixing type, access, drilling position, power setup and unit supplied.
Can it be used for anchor fixings?
Yes, where the material, anchor type and hole size are suitable. Confirm the correct compatible drill bit for your anchor specification and check hole tolerances before drilling.
Can it be used for chiselling?
Yes — a rotary hammer / combi hammer can support light chiselling work such as channel chasing and breakout where suitable. Chisels are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking. For heavier demolition, a dedicated breaker is more suitable.
Is it the same as a standard drill?
No. A standard drill is for general timber and light-duty drilling. A rotary hammer adds hammer action for drilling masonry and concrete, and uses compatible drill bits or chisels depending on the unit supplied. Use the right tool for the material.
Is it the same as a breaker?
No. A dedicated breaker is built primarily for breaking and chiselling concrete, slabs and structural materials. A rotary hammer combines drilling with light chiselling. For sustained heavy breaking, choose a breaker.
Can it drill steel?
It is not designed for precision steel drilling. For accurate hole drilling in suitable ferrous steel and structural metalwork, use a magnetic drill with annular cutters instead.
Are drill bits or chisels included?
No — drill bits, chisels and accessories are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking. Share your material, hole size, fixing type and task so we can confirm the correct accessory before hire.
Do I need a transformer or special power setup?
