According to the type of power supply, network and battery models are distinguished. The second type is more mobile, since it can also be used in field work. The average battery will keep you running for hours. If you need to carry out large amounts of work, you can purchase a more capacious or additional battery, or periodically recharge it from the mains, if possible.

In general, the choice depends on the type of work performed and work, as well as on the time of continuous operation and the ability to charge from the outlet. Although, if the cordless screwdriver has a USB input, then you can additionally take a power bank (energy storage) with you. Its charge is enough to fully charge the instrument 2-3 times. It all depends on both the battery capacity and the energy storage capacity.

In addition, most Hammer models are equipped with a quick charge function, which allows the battery to be fully charged within 20 minutes.

The most important technical parameters:

• Torque. This indicator is very important for professionals. If you want a good tool, then it must have a high torque that allows you to drill well into dense materials. Therefore, the Hammer firm produces quality tools with a wide range of capabilities.
• Rotation frequency. The diameter of the hole that will be drilled depends on the speed of rotation. It is recommended to use low speeds during operation in order not to overheat the device motor. The manufacturer says that it is better to take a screwdriver with two speed modes.
• Chuck type. Allocate keyless and key chucks. Most modern screwdrivers are equipped with a quick-clamping type. They allow you to get more work done in the same amount of time than using a key chuck.
• Equipment weight.Many companies offer powerful equipment that is very difficult to hold in the hands while working and is also problematic to transport. But Hammer has developed a new technical solution, where powerful characteristics are combined with light weight, which allows you to work for a long time without overload.

Recommendations for charging and using battery devices

The charger is included with the battery. The developers indicate that before the first start of the cordless drill, the battery itself must be fully charged, since the manufacturer supplies it discharged. The user should be familiar with the complete charging cycle before charging. On average, Hammer batteries take three to five hours to charge.

The instrument has a special accurate indicator that completely controls the charging process. If the battery is fully charged, the indicator glows green, and if there is little charge left, then red. If the red sensor starts blinking, then this indicates a device malfunction or incorrect battery installation. If the sensor does not light up after placing a discharged battery in the device, then it must be cooled to room temperature and then reinstalled.

The optimum air temperature for safe charging of the device ranges from -10 to +40 degrees. If you adhere to this range, you will be able to avoid possible overheating of the device, or its overcharge. Also, the room should be well ventilated so that the device does not oxidize from moisture.

Exploitation:

• in order to avoid quick wear, do not recharge the device;
• do not allow deep charging power (that is, do not wait until the battery is completely discharged);
• Complete a full discharge and charge cycle 5 times to calibrate the battery to maximum power.

If the battery is out of order or simply exhausted its capabilities, then a new one should be bought only in specialized stores. Try to buy a new battery from the store where you bought the screwdriver itself. The capacity should be the same as last time. The battery costs, on average, about half a new tool.

Reviews for the equipment of this brand are mostly positive.
