The current scale of construction work is quite significant – if there were no such tool as a punch, projects would be carried out with difficulties. We’ll figure out in more detail what kind of tool is – for example, many believe that there is no difference between the perforator and the shock drill.
To derive your own opinion, you need to familiarize yourself with the relevant information – what perforators are, what are their main characteristics and properties.
Perforator or drill?
Actually, both tools can be indispensable when working. During the repair with its help, you can not only reduce costs, but also significantly facilitate physical efforts. In particular, such a tool can be useful in cases where people move and are going to do repairs.
A perforator is a special tool with which you can drill and drill, as well as if necessary and carry out shock operations. It is extremely convenient to use it in the walls of durable material, for example, concrete, all kinds of holes – this is quite easy due to rotation, power and good shock capacity of the tool.
Perforators also have a huge advantage – this is a tool for drilling, that is, a drill. A durable drill is made in such a way that it is very easy to drill holes even in strong walls with its help. In particular, his work helps out when the holes should be drilled through and through.
In addition, there is another quite good tool for drilling in the walls of holes – this is a shock drill. In most cases, it is used to perform the holes of the “spike”, “Novosel” – to hang a shelf or picture, attach a metal profile to the wall or work a similar nature.
When checking into a new apartment, the punch will be very useful. With its help, you can get the right hole in the wall from almost any material and any purpose-whether it is the laying of the cable or the fastening of any structure. Conveniently and quickly you can make a cable groove and a neat hole for a switch or outlet. We can conclude that the punch for capital work will be an excellent tool.
In the event that a tool for drilling holes is required, it is better to stop at a shock drill. It is not only easier in weight, but also cheaper than a punch.
Punch – technical characteristics
Power – the more powerful, the higher the drilling speed. In addition, the thickness of the drill, with which the punch, depends on its power. But it should be remembered that the more powerful the perforator is, the more it will be more in weight, which means that you will have to spend much more effort to work with it.
Rotation speed regulation – there are almost all perforators. Equipping the regulation of the limit of the highest speed is considered very convenient. In fact, this looks approximately like this: after installing the maximum speed, it remains only to press the trigger and thus work.
The switch lock is a button that can fix the switch without the need to constantly press it with your finger. This function is extremely useful if you have to drill solid material for a long time – your fingers can not be overstrain.
Disconnecting shock capabilities. If you turn off the shock function for some reason it is not possible, it will not work to use the punch as a drill. In the perforator, the drill function is, as it were, secondary, but the drill at hand sometimes may not be.
The principle of operation and the device of the perforator
The design of the tool includes a reverse – electronic or brush, revolutions regulator, friction clutch, electronic immobilizer, service indicators, protection against vibrations, a quick and simple change of cartridges. Depending on the manufacturer in some details, the tools can differ insignificantly, but the mechanism of work in general is the same.
The work of the perforator is based on the shock mechanism – pneumatic and electromagnetic. The work of the first-pneumatic-is carried out thanks to the movement in the piston cylinder in the direction of the reciprocal (this principle of operation is most common). The second works with the help of electromagnetic coils, creating the movement of the core in the direction of the reciprocal. Further, the core transmits these blows to the end of the drill.
Together with the perforator, an angular drill nozzle can be additionally used if you have to work with hard -to -reach areas. Various other devices can also be used – crowns, drill, drill and so on.
