Power Drills

Lightweight cordless drills are well suited to short jobs on relatively soft materials, such as wood or non-load-bearing walls. For drilling into brick, concrete or stone, a classic hammer drill is needed. Rotary hammers and cordless impact drills are also alternatives for drilling into hard materials.
