Product Information

Full details

The Worx Nitro Slammer Drill is for DIY enthusiasts and professionals needing a versatile tool for drilling, screwdriving, and tackling tough concrete. Its key benefit is the Active Hammer™ technology, which allows drilling into reinforced concrete (up to 10mm) with the power of a rotary hammer in a combi drill format. A caveat is that the 20V battery and charger are sold separately, requiring an additional purchase if you're not already in the Worx PowerShare ecosystem.

FAQs

What is Active Hammer™ Technology?

Active Hammer™ Technology is a proprietary system within the Worx Slammer Drill that uses a moving mass to generate significant impact energy, enabling it to drill into reinforced concrete where standard combi drills would typically fail.

Can I use this drill for normal screwdriving tasks?

Yes, the Worx Slammer Drill functions as a powerful screwdriver. You can switch to screwdriving mode and use the 2-speed transmission to control torque for driving screws into various materials.

What is the maximum concrete drilling diameter?

The drill is designed to efficiently drill holes up to 10mm in diameter into C30 reinforced concrete.

Do I need a special battery for this drill?

Yes, this drill requires a Worx 20V battery. It is part of the Worx PowerShare platform, so any Worx 20V battery is compatible. The battery and charger are sold separately.

What maintenance does this drill require?

Basic maintenance includes keeping the tool clean, ensuring ventilation slots are clear of dust, storing it properly, and removing the battery when not in use. Regularly check the chuck for debris.

What is the advantage of a brushless motor?

Brushless motors offer higher efficiency, longer run times from a single charge, increased power, and a longer tool lifespan compared to traditional brushed motors.

Can this tool drill into masonry other than concrete?

Yes, in hammer drill mode, it can also drill into brick and other masonry. In standard drill mode, it can drill into wood and metal.

Troubleshooting

Drill won't turn on

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the safety lock is engaged.

Reduced impact force in hammer mode

Verify that the tool is set to hammer drill mode and not standard drilling. Ensure you are using bits designed for hammer drilling and that they are seated correctly in the chuck.

Chuck is loose or won't tighten

Check for debris inside the chuck. Ensure the chuck key (if applicable for manual tightening) or the automatic tightening mechanism is functioning correctly. For brushless models, manual key operation is less common.

Overheating during use

Allow the tool to cool down. Ensure ventilation slots are not blocked. Reduce the load or break down the task into smaller intervals, especially when drilling into hard materials.

Battery not charging

Ensure the charger is plugged in and the battery is correctly seated on the charger. Check the power outlet. If the issue persists, the battery or charger may need service.
