The difference between light electric hammers and heavy electric hammers

The core difference between light and heavy electric hammers lies in weight, working principle, application scenarios and functional design. The following is a summary of the specific differences:

Weight and operation method

 Light electric hammer: Usually weighing between 2 and 5 kilograms, compact in size, one-handed, suitable for working at high altitudes or in narrow Spaces.

Heavy electric hammer: Larger in size, more laborious to operate with one hand, usually held with both hands, suitable for high-intensity work.

Working principle and efficiency

Light electric hammer: With a transverse motor driven by a pendulum bearing and piston, it has a smaller hammering force, similar to an upgraded electric drill. It is suitable for lightweight drilling (such as concrete, wood) and fine tasks.

Heavy electric hammer: The hammer force is generated by the direct impact of the piston movement on the impact element, with stronger impact force and higher drilling efficiency. It is suitable for large-hole operations on hard materials such as concrete and brick.

Function and Security

Light electric hammer:

Supports switching between electric drill and impact drill modes, and some models can adjust the impact force.

Equipped with lithium batteries and fast charging function, it is energy-saving and environmentally friendly.

It has low noise and vibration, high safety, but lacks clutch protection.

Heavy electric hammer :

Most of them are equipped with a clutch protection device. When encountering a steel bar jam, they can automatically stop the machine immediately to prevent hitting hands.

It is suitable for long-term and high-intensity operations and has stronger durability.

Applicable scenarios

Light electric hammer: Household repairs (such as installing hangers, chandeliers), light construction, tile removal and other small-scale operations.

Heavy electric hammer: Industrial construction, wall demolition, drilling of large concrete holes and other heavy tasks.

Summary

Basis of selection : Light electric hammer is preferred for portability, flexibility and fine operation; If efficiency and high-intensity work are pursued, heavy-duty electric hammers are more suitable.
