26mm Rotary Hammers: The Anchor-Drilling Standard for Concrete
Why 26mm Is the Sweet Spot of Rotary Hammers
Ask a site foreman which rotary hammer the crew reaches for most, and the answer is nearly always the same size: 26mm. It is large enough for serious anchor work yet light enough to control overhead, which is why the 26mm rotary hammer is the most specified machine in our export catalogue.
This page covers the complete ETpower 26mm range - four 800W corded rotary hammers and four 21V cordless models, every one SDS-Plus and built in our Taizhou factory. Use it to match a machine to your work, or to your private-label programme.
What 26mm Means on the Spec Sheet
The 26mm rating is the maximum diameter the tool drills in concrete with a solid bit. Below that ceiling it runs 6mm, 8mm and 10mm fixings all day, and thin-wall core bits open larger holes for pipe and cable. Around that rating sit the three numbers that define the class: 800W of motor, 3.0J of impact energy and 0-1,100rpm. A rotary hammer 26mm heavy-duty enough for daily site work lives exactly at that pairing - less impact and dense concrete slows you down, more and the machine outgrows one-handed work.
Corded 26mm Rotary Hammers: The 800W Line-up
Four machines share one proven 800W/3.0J core, each tuned for a different hand:

The honest difference between them is ergonomics and selector design, not power - all four drill the same hole at the same 3.0J. Choose by grip and by whether you need the third mode. Each ships as an electric rotary hammer drill 26mm rated, in 220-240V or 110V.
21V Cordless 26mm Rotary Hammers
The same 3.0J with no cord. Four cordless machines run on our shared 21V battery platform:

One battery and one charger serve all four - and every other tool on the platform. For crews, that is the whole argument for cordless.
How to Choose Your 26mm Rotary Hammer
- 3-mode or 2-mode. Drill, hammer-drill and chisel adds tile and mortar removal for free; our 3-mode picks are the ETRH2-26 and ETRH3-26.
- Safety clutch. Non-negotiable at this size: it stops the kick when a bit grips rebar.
- Corded or cordless. Same 3.0J either way. Corded wins on cost per hole; the 21V machines win where there is no outlet.
- Weight and grip. Overhead anchor work punishes heavy tools - the compact ETBRH02-26 exists for exactly that trade-off.
- Bits. SDS-Plus is a universal shank, so bits from any brand fit every machine on this page.
Where a 26mm Machine Earns Its Keep
- Anchor fixing - M8-M12 anchors in slabs, columns and walls: ETRH2-26.
- Formwork - tie points through panels and cast-in channels: ETRH4-26.
- Electrical rough-in - chasing walls for conduit; the 3-mode ETRH3-26 handles plaster too.
- Overhead and off-grid work - ceilings, shafts and rooftops: ETBRH01-26 and ETBRH02-26.
- Heavier fixing - when M14-M16 anchors appear, step up to the 28mm rotary hammer.
26mm Rotary Hammer FAQ
What does 26mm mean on a rotary hammer?
The maximum hole it will drill in concrete with a solid bit. It also runs every smaller size all day, and thin-wall core bits push past 26mm for pipe and cable openings.
Is a 26mm rotary hammer heavy duty enough for professional work?
Yes - 26mm with 3.0J is the professional default for anchor drilling. Lighter 20-24mm machines suit DIY and light fixing; for daily site work, 26mm is the working standard.
What is the difference between a 26mm hammer drill and a 26mm rotary hammer?
Marketing sometimes blurs the two. A true rotary hammer drives the bit with a piston at 3.0J; a hammer drill only vibrates the chuck. For concrete, buy the rotary hammer.
Can it drill smaller holes, like 8mm fixings?
All day. The 26mm rating is a ceiling, not a target - the same machine runs 6mm to 26mm bits without changing anything but the bit.
Will any SDS-Plus bit fit a 26mm rotary hammer?
Yes. SDS-Plus is a universal 10mm shank standard, so bits from any brand fit every model on this page. Never put a round-shank bit in an SDS-Plus chuck.
Corded or cordless - which 26mm machine should I buy?
Corded 800W for the lowest cost per hole on powered sites; 21V cordless where outlets are absent. Impact energy is the same 3.0J either way.
Can a 26mm hammer drill machine chisel?
Only 3-mode models. The ETRH2-26 and ETRH3-26 switch to chisel-only for tile and mortar removal; 2-mode machines cannot.
Do you offer OEM on 26mm rotary hammers?
Yes. We manufacture the complete machine - motor, gear and housing - so logo, colour, packaging and carton art are yours. Send your market and volumes for a quote.
