Hammers Stern Austria

Purchased about 10 years ago. Renovated 3 room apartment. Work was drilled a lot. hollowed, used everything including crowns for drilling under sockets. panel house who drilled will understand. Often gave it to friends (including both armless and builders.) Even opened the asphalt with a wider spatula. I cleaned and oiled 3-4 times. Very satisfied.

Not killed.

The button started to jam. Do not creep everywhere because of the vertical arrangement of email. engine. Someone heavy.

I have a Stern puncher model RH-26G. Purchased 6-7 years ago. Since then, the tool has not been changed; it has not been given for repair. The volume of work in the apartment, of course, is small, but this device is also household, not professional. Therefore, I bought it - the price came up, and it is more likely just in case. I don’t do repairs every year, therefore I don’t “force” the tool. Even if I do the work, I definitely give the punch a break. Below you can see an overview of this punch.

Price, ideal for rare use

The disadvantages that are found during this time in the punch are an unreliable cord and a start button. The cord can be changed, but I use the puncher rarely and very carefully, so we still have it “native”. But in the near future in any way it will be necessary to change it. But the start button does not always turn on the first time, it sometimes sticks.

Got a new apartment in another city, came a little to make repairs in it. With myself, I did not see the point of taking a heavy hammer drill. I bought it already on the spot, the perforator took STERN Austria PRRH26-1. The hammer drill worked without any problems, right from the “box”. He punched them in brick walls, holes for sewer pipes, the brick “cuts” just fine. I tried to drill a hole in the concrete wall, it drills, but very slowly (immediately throw the drills that come with the drill in the bin into the bin, it will be defeated, only one word, they don’t drill at all). I drilled holes with cheap drills bought in the market. The impact force of the hammer drill is somewhere around 3 joules. For household needs and repairs, it seems to me more and not necessary.It is very difficult to work (it just infuriates) the small length of the cord, it is only 1 meter (I immediately changed it, to the cord from the old vacuum cleaner by 5 meters). I was not pleased with the sharp chemical smell coming from the hull, weathered it for 2 days, now there is almost no smell. Despite all this, I am satisfied with the work of the punch.

low price, powerful impact force.

short cord, “chemical” smell from the body.

When building a country house in 2009, we bought a hammer drill company Stern Austria model RH26B. His price was more than tempting. For such a price, he has very good equipment, comes with 3 drills, a drill chuck. spare brushes, depth gauge and 2 chisels. A nice addition was to find out that there was grease in the kit. A normal case in which it is convenient to store the device. There are 7 modes of operation of the hammer, it is convenient to choose the speed for any job.

In the end, I want to draw my conclusions that the Stern Austria RH26B rotary hammer can be attributed to the device reliable, but it is better to use it for home use, its cost is good, it fits any pocket, the equipment is decent. He copes with the work well, will serve his master well during the repair and construction works.

Good equipment.

Weak mounts broke.
