Hello,
I am in the market for a new drill. Can I use a hammer drill for everyday things like screwing into wood, etc? Or should I get a regular cordless drill? I occasionally need to drill into concrete. Will the hammer drill take care of all my needs?
should i just get a hammer drill?

try to drill concreate fence posts to put up brackets but my cordless drill wont drill though concrete it is full y charged and its a 24v with hammer drill ?

Im looking for a cordless drill (possibley corded; i dont like the batteries running dry) and I was wondering which brands are best and which are worst. The best Iv heard of are Craftsman, DeWalt, and Makita. My dad has had a cordless, corded, and impact makita drill for almost 30 years. This is what im considering most.
Something with a lot of torque, so if i want to drive something besides screws and piolet holes, I can.
But also something relatively cheap.
Can I have some feedback please? ie, experience, opinions, feedback, etc
Thanks
Thanks everyone. For some reason yahoo wont give me the option to choose a best answer but I appreciate all of your input. @fishlakeguy I check, yeah its a hammer drill haha.
I think im going with either makita or dewalt. Goin to the store tomorrow. Thanks again

Im looking to add a all in one hammer drill-driver to my tool collection. I just wanted some recommendations on some cordless models that are cost friendly and do a great job. Thanks!

New cordless drill buyer and have decided on Makita. However somewhat confused, looking at 18 volt cordless. What is the BDF452 and the BDF452HW. They also have the BHP and I think that is for hammer/drill and what is the advantage of buying the hammer drill.
As for the batteries I think the charger for most Makita drills is the DC18RA and will charge all slide on type batteries. I also think any slide on battery will work on any drill/saw etc with the only difference being the strength of the battery being BL1815, BL1830, another words I think I can use any slide on type battery with any tool that takes slide on type including circular saws and recipro saws. Thanks for any help

Besides the convenience of a cordless and the power of a corded one, what else should I take into consideration when purchasing a hammer drill?
Also, any suggestion on what brand, Dewalt, Craftsman, Ryo, Black & Decker?
how do I decide what size chuck?

I saw a commercial a month or so ago about some kind of nifty small tool that is maybe a cordless mechanical hammer or drill or something like that. Thought it was Black and Decker and tried to call and ask but they were no help. Need a Christmas present for husband. NOT a regular hammer drill- it was kind of like Black and Decker small adjustable screwdriver but that was not it.... PLEASE HELP!!!
