Hammer Drill Rental for the London, ON Area
Equipment Rental Brothers offers hammer drill rental for the London, ON area for masonry anchor installation, concrete penetration, and hard material drilling where a standard drill would be too slow or ineffective. Rotary hammer drills combine rotation with forward impact, making them a practical tool for drilling into concrete, brick, block, and stone. Rentals are available from our Otterville, ON yard for half-day, full-day, multi-day, and weekly use.
Masonry Anchor and Fastener Installation
Hammer drills are commonly used for installing wedge anchors, sleeve anchors, expansion bolts, and other mechanical fasteners in concrete and masonry. They are a standard tool for deck ledgers, structural connections, and anchored hardware.
Concrete and Block Penetration
Hammer drills are also used for smaller penetrations through block and concrete walls where a large core bit is not required. For cleaner and larger-diameter round penetrations, a core bit rental may be the better option.
Setting Post Bases and Hardware in Concrete
Post bases, beam hardware, hold-downs, and related structural connectors often require anchor holes in existing concrete. A hammer drill is the practical tool for these smaller drilled connections.

A hammer drill adds forward impact to the normal rotary drilling action, which makes it much more effective in concrete and masonry. A standard drill is better for wood, drywall, and softer materials.
That depends on the anchor diameter. In many cases, the drill bit diameter matches the anchor diameter, but it is best to confirm the exact anchor type and size before booking.
No. A hammer drill is for drilling precise holes in masonry and concrete. A jackhammer is for breaking and demolishing concrete.
