SDS Plus Hammer Drill vs Standard Drill vs SDS Max / Breaker
Different drilling jobs need different tools. Pick the right one for the task.
| Tool | Best for | Not for |
|---|---|---|
| SDS Plus hammer drill (this page) | Masonry, brick, block and concrete drilling where suitable; anchor fixings; light chiselling where suitable. | Heavy demolition; large diameter core drilling; heavy-duty SDS Max tasks; precision steel drilling. |
| Standard drill | General timber, plasterboard and light-duty drilling where the material and access suit a standard chuck. | Drilling concrete, dense masonry, large anchor holes or any chiselling task. |
| SDS Max / breaker | Heavier drilling and chiselling, larger anchor holes and breakout work where suitable. | Light, repetitive small-fixing drilling and tight-access work where a lighter SDS Plus hammer drill is more practical. |

SDS Plus Hammer Drill Hire London — FAQ
Common questions for hire customers in London. Confirm specifics before booking.
Can I hire an SDS Plus hammer drill in London?
Yes. SDS Plus hammer drill hire is available across London by booking, with Greenford UB6 collection by arrangement. Share your postcode area and hire dates to confirm the next available slot.
What is an SDS Plus hammer drill used for?
Drilling masonry, brick, block and concrete where suitable, anchor fixings, renovation drilling and installation work, plus light chiselling where the task allows. Suitability depends on material, hole size, fixing type, access, drilling position, power setup and unit supplied.
Is SDS Plus the same as SDS Max?
No. SDS Plus and SDS Max are different bit systems and tool sizes. SDS Plus is generally lighter-duty and suits smaller fixing and masonry drilling tasks; SDS Max is heavier-duty for larger holes, structural drilling and harder chiselling. Confirm correct SDS Plus drill bits, chisels and accessories before booking so the fitment matches your task.
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 SDS Plus 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 SDS Plus drill bit for your anchor specification and check hole tolerances before drilling.
Can it be used for chiselling?
Light chiselling is typical for SDS Plus hammer drills where suitable — for example light channel chasing, breakout and render removal where the task allows. SDS Plus chisels are not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking. For heavier chiselling or breakout, an SDS Max combi hammer or dedicated breaker is more suitable.
Is it the same as a standard drill?
No. A standard drill is for general timber, plasterboard and light-duty drilling. An SDS Plus hammer drill adds hammer action and an SDS Plus bit fitment so it can drill masonry and concrete and accept SDS Plus drill bits and chisels. 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. An SDS Plus hammer drill 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 SDS Plus accessory before hire.
Do I need a transformer or special power setup?
Confirm exact power setup before booking. If a transformer is required, it is not included unless specifically confirmed in writing before booking. 3kVA continuous transformer hire is available where needed.
Who should use an SDS Plus hammer drill?
Competent users only — trained operators familiar with hammer drilling, chiselling and the relevant site procedures. PPE and site risk assessment are required. Check hidden cables, pipes and services before drilling or chiselling.
What safety precautions are needed?
Eye, hand, foot, hearing and respiratory protection as required. Check for hidden cables, pipes and services. Confirm material and task suitability. Use the correct SDS Plus bit or chisel. Clamp or support the workpiece, control dust, maintain a stable stance and follow site RAMS and manufacturer instructions. Avoid wet or exposed electrical conditions.
