TOP 5 popular punchers

Bosch PBH 2100 RE 06033A9320 Price from 2 820 up to 4 405 ₴ →

Starts our TOP 5 compact, lightest and not very powerful Bosch PBH 2100 RE. This "kid" has normal performance and wide functionality. The pneumoelectric unit is suitable for chiseling and drilling, impact drilling, as well as for precise drilling and precise screwing of screws. In order to increase safety, the device is equipped with a shock blocking function when working with metal and wood. There is also a dust protection system, which helps to keep internal components and mechanisms from contamination. Not bad, as for one of the most affordable perforators of a German company.

The impact energy of this instrument is the lowest in our selection – 1.7 J, and the idling speed, on the contrary, is high — 2300 rpm. Therefore, when working with hard materials (for example, concrete), it will not manifest itself as effectively as more powerful models. However, the tool is well suited for working with less durable materials like bricks, plaster, etc.

The disadvantages, judging by the reviews, include the backlash of the drill "up and down" and a weak stroke in reverse mode. When choosing a tool, pay attention to these nuances. If they are not critical for you, then this model will be a successful and economical purchase.

The list of positive characteristics of the PBH 2100 RE includes: the possibility of chiseling at an arbitrarily selected working position of the chisel; the Bosch Electronic electronic speed control function; the "acceleration" function to maximum revolutions using a push-button switch; the ability to turn out a stuck drill bit and fasteners using the reverse function.

Makita HR2470 Price from 5 780 up to 9 599 ₴ →

We decided to give the second place in our review to models from the Japanese manufacturer Makita. This company was founded in 1915 and already has a century of experience in the development and production of electrical equipment. It is not surprising that its engineers manage to create successful models. For example, the compact, comfortable and ergonomic HR2470 device.

The Makita HR2470 has proven itself well in drilling, impact drilling and chiseling, which allows it to be recommended for use not only by builders, but also by plumbers and electricians. It will be especially good when laying pipes and cables, removing tiles in the kitchen or bathroom, mounting sub-cabinets. This model with a power of 780 watts and an impact energy of 2.4 J is also suitable for simpler tasks, for example, to make holes for brackets to attach a shelf to the wall.

The tool develops the same speed during forward and reverse operation. Moreover, thanks to the special design, the chisel can be rotated 360 degrees, as well as fixed in forty different positions. And the presence of a release clutch allows you to prevent a jerk when jamming.

HR2470 enjoys the authority of the masters, but with one small caveat: if this device is original. Unfortunately, there are Asian fakes on the market, which can burn the anchor, there are no drill sets in the kit, blades, spikes, etc. Therefore, we recommend checking the complete set of the device when buying and ordering it from a reliable store specializing in power tools.

DeWALT D25103K

A representative from DeWalt took the third place in the "home perforator hit parade". D25103K is one of the most affordable models in the range of the American company. At the same time, it is a model with the highest impact energy of 3.1 J in our rating. Therefore, this device can be used for installation, carpentry, construction and other "heavy" household work (including drilling holes in concrete).

The punch with a power consumption of 780 watts operates in three modes, like other models in our selection. And the presence of the rotation lock function and a powerful impact mechanism allows you to use the device as a demolition hammer – it will cope with such work.

According to the manufacturer, when creating the DeWalt D25103K, all European safety standards were met. This model uses a sealing system that prevents abrasive crumbs and dust from entering the unit. A bright coloring will help you quickly find a punch among the tools.

The ergonomics of the device is well thought out, but not perfect. Some tool owners find the location of the power-on lock button inconvenient — this is a slider lever under the power supply button. To move it to the upper position during operation, you need to use the second hand. Among specialists, the perforator is considered a performant and wear-resistant unit. At the same time, the D25103K, according to reviews, does not have a very long service life if it is regularly used in the chiseling mode.

Metabo KHE 2644 606157000 Price from 5 655 up to 6 193 ₴ →

The Metabo KHE 2644 model is on the fourth place in the top five home perforators. Among the advantages of the model from the German company Metabowerke, which has been operating on the tool market since 1924, is the suitability for drilling concrete and a powerful impact mechanism controlled by electronics. The key components are enclosed in an aluminium alloy housing, so the tool inspires confidence when you take it in your hands. The manufacturer is responsible for compliance with the requirements for the safety of work. The automatic safety coupling Metabo S-automatic disconnects the drive when the drill is locked.

Thanks to the Vario (V) electronic system, the device can operate at a speed that is optimally suited to the properties of a particular material. At the same time, the tool is characterized by a smooth start, which is necessary when performing precise work, and can work in reverse mode. Also in the rotary hammer, the manufacturer has provided for the possibility of turning off the impact when drilling in shockless mode and turning off the rotation when the chiseling function is activated. And the presence of a fixed switch will simplify the work with prolonged chiseling.

User complaints are sometimes caused by the quality of components for those devices that are assembled in China. When buying, we recommend paying attention to this point. Also note the relatively large weight of 2.9 kg without a network cable. Although there are not so many models with similar characteristics, a metal body and less weight.

Bosch GBH 2-24 DF Professional 06112A0400

Completes our TOP 5 GBH 2-24 DF — an excellent tool from the German manufacturer Bosch. It can be used not only for drilling hard materials (brick or concrete), but also used as a demolition hammer and a screwdriver. The model can handle most of the tasks for a drill and a rotary hammer. And you can demand more from a model of this price category than from a junior partner Bosch PBH 2100 RE.

The operation of the 2-24 DF is controlled by a new generation electronic device that supports the nominal number of revolutions of the spindle at idle. The instrument is distinguished by a powerful 790 W motor and a 2.7 J impact energy. Thanks to such indicators, the perforator simplifies fast drilling and efficient chiseling of hard rocks. The presence of a rotary brush holder allows you to maintain the same power in both forward and reverse modes, and the function of smooth speed adjustment ensures the purity of drilling.

Unlike other punchers, the GBH 2-24 DF is equipped with a replaceable cartridge of the SDS+ type, which can be quickly replaced with a key or quick-release. A key type cartridge is considered more reliable, but less convenient (you can't change the drill in it without a special key). The safety system of the perforator includes a ball tip that protects the device from cable breakage, a coupling to protect the user and the motor, the possibility of a reverse stroke to unlock the drill.

There are no significant disadvantages of this perforator. Sometimes buyers complain that an additional handle can be scrolled and a large weight (2.9 kg), which is felt during prolonged work with the tool at a height. At the same time, they recognize that when working in other conditions, weight is an advantage. Complaints may be caused by the high price of the device. Each owner must independently decide whether it is worth paying extra in order to work with a high-quality branded tool. If the difference in cost with low-cost models is not critical for you, please yourself with the purchase of a reliable and easy-to-use tool.
