Looking for some drills with hammer and came across this. Not sure if this is usual price, but looking for this price.
Have to buy drill bits separately though.

12V = 3 cells, so 10.8V really, compared to 5-cell 18V that is standard now.
the result is 25Nm torque compared to 40Nm for the Ryobi. And 10mm vs 13mm chuck, so those 1/2" bits are out.
Its going to be a bit slower in hammer mode, but for occasional use will likely do the job.But $50 with 2 batteries and fast charge? Bargain!
Anyone who does not already have a cordless drill should get one.
Thanks for this info. Really important stuff if you didn't already know it.
Slightly lower specced than others but can do the job and is easy on the wallet!
Thanks fot the info. Can you suggest if any alternative in this price range?
The Ryobi brushless hammer drill is even 85Nm!!
I posted the 18v Rockwell brushless hammer drill 2x li ion batteries, 13mm metal chuck recently for $69 from supercheap. Might be 20% off today? Listed as 30Nm, Box says 40Nm, but its got more grunt than my Aldi 24v Titanium. So I recon it's probably 60Nm.
Is impact the same as hammer?
You are right it looks better specced.
It is currently $67.90 until 19th.
Impact and hammer are words with similar meaning in plain english, but they are generally used to refer to different categories of electric tool.
Impact drivers typically have a hex chuck and are mainly for driving screws.
You could also get the Rockwell ShopSeries Drill & Impact Driver Kit - 18 Volt Li-Ion $80
So you get a drill and impact driver for $80

Does it come with drill bit? I can't see in photos.
Not that the Rockwell kit does not include a hammer drill function.
Never been a big fan of Impact Drills or Drills with Hammer Action - with the limited ones I've tried, they're loud and painfully slow at drilling and hammering.
I prefer them separately - one cordless drill, and one hammer drill.
You should get a rotary hammer drill - on masonry it’s like a knife through butter
Yep I ended up buying a Metabo Hammer Drill and it was bloody amazing! :)
I was drilling a 5mm hole into brick - used an impact drill with hammer action and barely made a scratch for like 5 minutes.
Hammer drill - done in 10 seconds.
Normal clay brick? hammer drill should do a 5mm hole easily, and the rotary hammer in 2 seconds, not ten.
If you are drilling concrete, I'd expect what you describe. Maybe your bit was no good.
@manic:
Clay brick, same Sutton drill bit, was drilling slowly, and will carry a stop watch with me next time I drill rolls eyes@meetspin:
OK. Well, something was wrong.
I use a cordless hammer drill in brick frequently.
Only bother getting out the rotary hammer for big jobs like putting a pipe through the wall.Sometimes it barely makes a dent, until I realise I forgot to switch it to hammer mode.
@manic: sometimes when i wee, it takes 2 seconds, but sometimes it takes 10 seconds. It depends how much liquid i've consumed prior to taking a wee.
12 v ok for a screwdriver but I would reccomend at least 18v for a hammer/impact driver. Cheap though
12V would be absolutely useless & an utter waste of money for a hammer drill
It would not drill masonryI used a Ryobi 9.6 cordless drill for probably 10 years and it was fine for most jobs, used it till the battery died, I recently rebuilt the battery pack lol :) and it lives again but the little bosch green drills I have are insanely good.
For $50 you cant really go wrong.
Depends where the 12v comes from - these are good to "hack" for camping, a mate has done this to an old Makita 12v drill with a 200AH AGM battery and it is surprisingly effective. Probably because it's getting more like 12.7v :)
All totally different. This is Li-Ion. Its not just the motor voltage that matters. How much torque & power do you think a 12V car starter-motor puts out?
12v with hammer..
