The rotary hammer with a vertical engine is the pinnacle of the evolution of this tool. The most powerful, convenient and reliable option, designed to perform the most complex tasks. Such a hammer drill will easily drill a large diameter hole and break concrete. It would seem that the position of the motor has just changed, but how many advantages have appeared compared to the classic horizontal models:

Engine location

Advantages

Flaws

vertical

Higher power;

Balancing;

Reliable impact mechanism;

Better cooling;

Low vibration;

Convenience of work.

Great weight;

High price;

Expensive repair.

Horizontal

A light weight;

Possibility of drilling at a greater distance from the object;

Simple repair and maintenance;

Low price.

Less power;

Insufficient cooling;

Strong vibration;

Less impact force.

Drawing a conclusion from this table, we can safely say that vertical punchers are precisely professional tools, and if you plan to drill small holes in brick, then buying such a model does not make sense. But when you need to drill a large diameter in a solid surface, and more than one, the best choice is the barrel option.

A key feature of such rotary hammers is the presence of a pneumatic or crank percussion mechanism. We will not delve into the technical component, we will only say that such a system is more durable and reliable, and the manufacturer gets the opportunity to significantly increase the impact force, and this is one of the most important criteria when choosing a hammer drill. In addition, the barrel tool has better cooling. There is no direct connection of the engine to the percussion mechanism, therefore the heat is removed from the body faster, and as a result, you can work for a longer time.

True, it was not without drawbacks. For example, such punchers are always heavier and bulkier. They will not be easy to work with outstretched arms or in an uncomfortable position. Especially for this, many brands add a vibration damping function and go to other tricks to make the process easier. Well, the main disadvantage is the price. Both the tool itself and its maintenance. However, such devices break down less often, at least those that are in our rating, since we have selected the best models with vertical engines for 2022.

  • Impact force (J): 4
  • Maximum drill diameter (concrete, mm): 28
  • Blow speed per minute: 4100

A vertical motor cools better and does not overheat as quickly as a horizontal one. And to further improve the cooling process, some manufacturers use a duralumin case. This model also has it, and with fins for heat dissipation and ventilation ducts. The factor is very important, since the tool has a power of more than a kilowatt and beats with a force of 4 joules. These are definitely not the best characteristics, but quite adequate, especially considering the affordable price tag. In general, the model does not stand out with something unique. It is simple, convenient and quite reliable, according to the reviews of real users. That is, as they say, top for your money.

Pros and cons
  • Fast cooling
  • Additional ribs on the body
  • Carry only 3.5 kilograms
  • poor equipment
  • Meets marriage
  • Very poor quality case

Best price

The cheapest vertical hammer, costing about 10% less than the nearest competitor with similar characteristics.

  • Average price: 4,400 rubles.
  • Country Russia
  • Power (W): 870
  • Impact force (J): 4.5
  • Maximum drill diameter (concrete, mm): 26
  • Blow speed per minute: 4450

If for you the issue of saving when buying a puncher is one of the first places, be sure to pay attention to this model. Finding a vertical tool with such a price tag is simply unrealistic. This is the cheapest device, while its characteristics and content cannot be called poor. Here impact strength 4.5 joules and 26 millimeters of concrete drilling. Not top parameters, but in comparison with competitors, they are quite adequate. The perforator will definitely cope with the tasks set, and the duralumin case will quickly remove heat and prevent overheating. A special advantage will be a long 4-meter network cable. Professional builders who work a lot with such a tool will certainly appreciate this aspect.

Pros and cons
  • The lowest price
  • Long network cable
  • Convenient storage case
  • Low motor power
  • Rotation speed not adjustable

  • Maximum drill diameter (concrete, mm): 28
  • Blow speed per minute: 4500

The Japanese brand Makita has always played ahead of the curve. It was he who first appeared various options, and then they were adopted by other manufacturers. Now we have a puncher that can be compared with a tuned sports car. There is a huge amount of electronics here.For example, the spindle speed changes electronically. The operating modes also change. It is possible to connect a vacuum cleaner and other accessories. But buyers did not particularly appreciate the efforts of the brand. The only advantage that this vertical hammer has received is weight reduction. It is really very light compared to similar models, but maintainability has also decreased.

Pros and cons
  • Lots of electronics
  • Ability to connect a dust collector
  • Lightweight design
  • Very low maintainability
  • Too many weak modules

Here the manufacturer does not focus on optional equipment. Everything is hard and simple. But quality and reliability. The case is duralumin. Inside, only durable parts and a minimum of unnecessary spare parts. If such a punch breaks, you can easily fix it yourself. For example, with top-end Bosch or DeWalt, such a trick is unlikely to work, especially if you do not have a special skill.

  • Country: Germany
  • Power (W): 800

Yes, a hammer drill will not be able to drill through concrete for laying an air conditioning pipe. He has other tasks. The puncher is designed for smaller work, but you don’t have to worry about overheating or burning. Separately, it is necessary to say about the warranty and service. Bosch is a top brand and pays a lot of attention to reputation. Here you will not be tormented by replies in the event of a breakdown, and there are a lot of spare parts on the market.

Pros and cons
  • Balanced Features
  • Convenient handle position
  • Designed for continuous loads
  • Quality service
  • Not the highest settings
  • Large ventilation ducts
  • Reverse only through the rotation of the brushes

Most popular model

The tool that has collected the most comments on popular marketplaces and platforms with reviews from real users.

  • Average price: 4,600 rubles.

  • Impact force (J): 4.1
  • Maximum drill diameter (concrete, mm): 26
  • Blow speed per minute: 4000

Reviews from real users are the best way to get an impression of a product. This punch has received a huge number of comments online and a high average rating. It is praised for its quality, reliability and convenience. Yes, this is not the most powerful vertical punch. It has a kilowatt motor and no more than 4 joules per impact. But this is quite enough to drill holes in concrete with a diameter of up to 26 millimeters inclusive. If you don't plan to challenge it with more complex tasks, then it makes sense to consider it as an alternative. But immediately it is worth considering an important drawback - a large mass. The puncher weighs more than 6 kilograms, which corresponds to much more powerful models from competitors.

Pros and cons
  • Lots of positive feedback
  • Duralumin case
  • Quick access for lubrication
  • Short body
  • Inconvenient location of the shift lever
  • Weak transport case
  • There are many low quality fakes on the market.

Thoughtful ergonomics

Hammer drill with a comfortable grip and good balance.Allows you to work for a long time without hand fatigue and excessive load.

  • Average price: 6,200 rubles.
  • Country: Germany
  • Power (W): 1100
  • Impact force (J): 4
  • Maximum drill diameter (concrete, mm): 26
  • Blow speed per minute: 4100
  • RPM: 850
  • Weight (kg): 6.75
  • Number of modes: 3

Professional rock drills mean that you will have to work with them for many hours, and often non-stop. Such loads must withstand both the tool itself and its operator. That is why ergonomics is a very important factor that you should pay attention to before buying. In this model, this aspect was given a lot of attention. The handle is two-component with a rubberized coating and relief embossing. Even with wet hands, the tool will not slip. There is also a well thought out balance. The center of gravity is shifted to the handle, which reduces the load on the hands when working. And to top it off, there is an anti-vibration system. Not an innovation, but for a budget model, the phenomenon is quite rare.

Pros and cons
  • Shifted weight balance
  • Comfortable handle
  • Anti-vibration system
  • Brush wear indicator
  • Mediocre performance
  • Difficult to find parts

  • Impact force (J): 3.5
  • Maximum drill diameter (concrete, mm): 26
  • Blow speed per minute: 4800

Cooling is one of the biggest challenges facing tool manufacturers. Especially when it comes to professional rotary hammers designed for maximum loads. Bort found the best way out. They use a duralumin case, which quickly removes heat and does not heat up. Yes, it is expensive, so many manufacturers have long abandoned this solution. At the same time, the price of this model is not shocking. It is quite adequate and even lower than that of competitors. However, what they saved here is also clear. The motor is only 800 watts, and the impact force is no more than 3.5 joules. Only a hole with a diameter of 26 millimeters will be drilled in concrete.

Pros and cons
  • Quality cooling
  • Reverse mode
  • Long network cable
  • Often there is a factory marriage
  • Low power and impact force
  • Inconvenient mode switching
