Speaking of Cheap Hammer Drills

[jim evans]

While searching for something else a few weeks ago I ran across a place that had a selection of hammer drills ranging in price from about $8 to $20. Some had more than minimal amperage ratings. I tried just now to find the place again so I could post a link. I can't find it now, but here a few individual links that illustrate what I was seeing:

?ID=45?prod_id=CHIG156UL What are these things? Has anybody owned one of them? When a good hammer drill costs a hundred and a half $$ and more, what can these things do? If someone only drills 5 half-inch holes in concrete a year is it possible these things can handle that?

jim ___ Have a home upkeep question? Try my help page. It's sort of an alt.home.repair FAQ.
