askvictor replied to nfr on Ozito Power X Change Brushless Cordless Drill Driver (Skin Only) $49.90, Brushless Hammer Drill (Skin Only) $79.90 @ Bunnings

askvictor replied to moo on Bosch Blue 18V Hammer Drill and Impact Driver Kit - $150 @ Bunnings
Hammer drills like this (with a chuck) are next to useless; what you want is a rotary hammer that uses sds drill bits.
