Craftsman 11543 19.2-volt C3 Cordless 1/2" Hammer Drill/Driver —
Ever try to drill through concrete or cinderblock with a regular drill and masonry bit? Good Luck with that! I bought this drill to be able to easily drill through whatever to install cable and to drill into cinderblock and concrete in my garage to hang tracking and hooks with tapcon screws. This is an excellent drill with lots of speed and power, exceeded my expectations.
Wish I had this drill when using an old drill hanging a flatscreen above a fireplace with just three holes, two hours later, and three broken bits. This baby would have done it in three minutes! Don't use to drive screws though, buy the craftsman driver to drive screws and bolts, you won't be sorry!
Does run out of juice after about 15 - 20 holes through concrete block. I am going to eventually get a Lithium battery that should last a lot longer.
Cuts through masonry like butter with a fully charged battery and decent masonry bits. Let's me get work done 20x faster! Highly recommended!
