What makes a Combi Drill special from a Drill Driver?
It is an important question to answer since it can be easy to get confused between the two different types. A drill driver drives holes in hard or softwood, leather, laminates, etc. A combi-drill will conduct all of these tasks, but will also drill into masonry, concrete, and steel. These will often be fitted with two velocities and various torque levels, although the torque will not be as high as that found on either a combi drill. As you’re going to use it for more rugged applications, you’re going to want to choose a very well made combi drill with a metal gunmetal gearbox.
If you need to drill into masonry or steel, a combi-drill is required.
The reason a combi-drill can drill into masonry and steel is because of the hammer feature that the chuck engine provides. The chuck spins then impact – or a hammering motion – ram the bit back and forth to “punch” into the drilled material at very high speeds.
