G'day everyone,
I'm getting underway with the new workshop build and one thing that i realized that I would need is a hammer drill. Approximately 80 holes needed for wall plugs, masonry screws and ankabolts. Only problem is that I don't own a hammer drill. I don't do masonry work, and the chances are that once the project is done, I won't be doing any more masonry work. It was pointless to splurge on an expensive one, so I decided to get the cheapest one there was. Surprisingly, the cheapest one came in at just under $40, which is even cheaper than I was expecting.
A drill for $40 has to be terrible right? Well, lets find out.
