Rotary & Demolition Hammer Prices in Nigeria (SDS-Plus/Max)
A rotary hammer drills holes in concrete; a demolition hammer breaks concrete. Rotary hammers use SDS-Plus bits for holes up to about 32mm, and bigger SDS-Max models drill up to 38mm. Demolition hammers (breakers) only chisel, and hit much harder: around 40 to 50 joules for the DongCheng and Ingco breakers below. Below are the 14 rotary and demolition hammers in stock at GZ Industrial Supplies branches in Lagos, Abuja and Port Harcourt, with their power, impact energy and drilling capacity.

Rotary hammer vs demolition hammer: what is the difference?
| Rotary hammer (SDS-Plus) | Rotary hammer (SDS-Max) | Demolition hammer | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Main job | Drilling holes in concrete; light chiselling | Large holes and heavy chiselling | Breaking concrete, floors and walls |
| Drills holes? | Yes, about 20–32mm | Yes, up to about 40mm | No |
| Impact energy | About 1–5.5J | About 6–12J | About 25–50J |
| Bit / chisel shank | SDS-Plus (10mm) | SDS-Max (18mm) | SDS-Max or hex |
| Weight | 2–5kg | 6–8kg | 10–17kg |
| Typical users | Electricians, plumbers, AC installers | Builders and contractors | Demolition and renovation crews |
Rule of thumb: if you need holes, buy a rotary hammer. If you need to break or remove concrete, buy a demolition hammer. Many builders keep one of each.

Which one should you buy?
- Electricians, plumbers and AC installers: a light SDS-Plus rotary hammer such as the Bosch GBH 220, Makita HR2470 or DongCheng DZC05-26B.
- General building work and anchor bolts: a 950W–1500W SDS-Plus model such as the Ingco RGH9528, DongCheng DZC02-28 or Ingco RH150028.
- Big holes and heavy chiselling: the Ingco RH1600388 SDS-Max rotary hammer.
- Breaking floors, walls and slabs: a demolition hammer such as the DongCheng DZG03-15, Ingco PDB17008 or Bosch GSH 11 E.
- No power on site: a DongCheng 20V cordless rotary hammer (DCZC04-24 or DCZC22).
Tips for longer tool life
- Use the right shank: SDS-Plus bits will not fit an SDS-Max tool, and the other way round.
- Let the tool do the work. Pushing hard slows drilling and wears the motor.
- Grease the bit shank and change worn carbon brushes early.
- Run big hammers on a generator of the right size; a weak generator burns the motor.
- Always wear goggles, ear protection, gloves and a dust mask.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between a rotary hammer and a demolition hammer?
A rotary hammer drills holes in concrete and can also chisel lightly. A demolition hammer only chisels and breaks, with much stronger blows.
What does SDS-Plus and SDS-Max mean?
They are the bit-holder systems. SDS-Plus has a 10mm shank for light and medium tools; SDS-Max has an 18mm shank for heavy rotary and demolition hammers.
How many joules do I need?
About 2–3J is enough for anchor and conduit holes. Use 5J or more for regular heavy drilling, and 25J or more to break slabs and floors.
Can a rotary hammer break concrete?
Yes, for light work such as removing tiles or chasing small channels, in chisel mode. For floors and slabs, use a demolition hammer.
