Reliability Punchers Rating - Top 10 Top 2019

To select a good power tool, it is not enough just to study its technical characteristics, because even a powerful and multifunctional device in operation can show itself not at its best. This rating perforators for reliability, built on the basis of reviews "first hand" - those who have not the first day using these devices and knows even about minor flaws, or lack thereof.

The best perforators for home

Since home perforators are purchased for periodic and often short-term work, the requirements for them are appropriate:

• the device must be compact enough not to take up much space during storage;
• power is sufficient even for short work on durable concrete;
• reliability (the ability to periodically work in " for wear ") - you can not use the punch for several months, and then start a full repair;
• availability of additional functions - mode switch, reverse, speed adjustment - all of them will come in handy anyway.

All devices that are included in the rating of perforators for the home, necessarily meet the listed requirements.

Bosch GBH 2-26 DFR

A device that the manufacturer itself positions as a model class "Professional", which shows its ability for long continuous work. Its 800-watt electric motor produces 900 revolutions per minute, with the possibility of electronic adjustment of their frequency, there is also a reverse function. In the punch mode, 4000 strikes are made to the working surface within a minute, but the device can also be used as a drill or screwdriver - an adapter for conventional drills is included. Drills with a diameter up to 26 mm are applied.

Such a device will be a reliable assistant for frequent minor work. Suitable for domestic and professional use. The main thing is not to try to use it in cases where you need a very powerful punch. It will probably cope with such work, but it will greatly affect the overall service life of the device.

Makita HR2470

Universal three-mode punch for working on concrete bricks and similar materials.Ergonomic handle design for maximum vibration absorption. Equally, the device is convenient for use by left-handers and right-handers. Power of the electric motor is 780 Watts. Rotational speed of 1100 revolutions per minute - there is an adjustment of speed and reverse. In the slotting mode, 4500 strikes are made on the working surface.

The puncher is designed primarily for light work - it is in these conditions that it demonstrates all its positive aspects.

AEG KH 24 XE

A medium power multifunction punch - 720 watts with an SDS-Plus cartridge for drills up to 24 mm in diameter. The rotation speed of the electric motor is 1500 revolutions per minute with the possibility of adjustment and reverse stroke. The number of strokes on the working surface - 4500 / min.

If you don’t load the puncher with hard and extra-complicated works, then buying this device is one of the best solutions in terms of price-quality ratio for home use.

The best professional punchers

These devices are designed for those who make money on repairs and will load the puncher with daily long-term work - drilling holes in thick concrete, punching holes in walls, drilling crowns , shtabeniy grooves for electrical wiring, etc. The main criteria by which a professional punch is chosen: price, quality, rating - even the functionality is not in the first place. The main thing is to fulfill one’s immediate “duty”, but in any conditions.

Makita HR5001C

The powerful puncher with the electric motor of 1500 Watts allows use drills with a diameter of 50 mm and crowns up to 160 mm, giving a blow force up to 17.5 J. In operation, you can use 2 modes - chiselling and drilling with a blow. An electronic speed control system and a mechanical speed switch, plus a soft start system, are used. In terms of ergonomics, it is somewhat distinguished from competitors by a D-shaped handle, which is not a pin, but a closed handle.

User feedback describes this punch as a professional and reliable tool. It must be remembered that the cost of devices of this class justifies the purchase only under the condition of permanent use - otherwise it is better to think about where it can be rented.

Bosch GBH 8-45 DV

Puncher with anti-vibration mechanism of double action - the vibrations are damped in the spring-loaded handle and the counterweight in the device case. An engine power of 1500 watts allows working with drills with a diameter of up to 80 mm and drilling holes with 125 mm crowns, delivering a impact force of up to 12.5 J. The rotary hammer drill has protection against jamming of the drill excluding the tool turning in hands.

Professional tool designed for comfortable and long-lasting work. The reliability of the device allows you to recoup the punch not only when working directly, but also renting it out.

DeWALT D25602K

A dual-mode rotary hammer drill with a 1250 watt engine for working with various building materials. Allows the use of drills and crowns with a diameter of 65 and 100 mm, respectively. The vibration protection mechanism and the relatively small weight of the device make it possible to use it longer without interruption for a “hand shift”, and a safety coupling with adjustable sensitivity makes the work safer.

When choosing it is necessary to take into account that in comparison with competitors, there is some lack of power and impact force for working with very durable materials, but there is a tangible gain in convenience for the account of weight, when working with concrete of low and medium strength.

The best battery punchers

Requirements for such devices are not very different from those presented to network analogues, although the price difference is quite noticeable. The best perforator of this class is selected according to such indicators as the battery life, charging speed and availability of an additional battery, illumination of the working area. Separate attention should be paid to the last function, because the accumulator devices are primarily used in places without an electrical network.

Makita DHR242RFE

A three-mode rotary hammer drill that drills wood or metal and drills holes in concrete with a diameter of up to 24 mm, delivering a impact force of 2.4 J at a frequency of up to 4700 beats / min. The durability and simplicity of the device is ensured by the use of a brushless motor in the design with the ability to adjust the speed from 0 to 950 rpm.

According to user feedback, there is no tangible difference between this device and network counterparts. The puncher is suitable for professional installers of low-current electrical circuits and similar work, when the mobility of the device becomes a decisive factor.

AEG BBH 18 Li-402C

Electric motor with 1,400 rpm, three modes of operation, impact force 2.3 J with frequency up to 4,200 per minute, drilling holes in concrete in diameter up to 24 mm, work with wood and metal with drills up to 30 and 13 mm with a chuck rotation frequency of up to 1,400 rpm - these characteristics are no different from network drills of this class. As a wireless punch, AEG is equipped with two batteries, the charging time of which is about 30 minutes, which allows you to work without interruption to recharge them.

All other things being equal, this punch can be selected, if necessary, in an extended battery life, which is provided by high-capacity batteries.
