Default Quick One, Hammer Drill or Normal Drill?????

Hello all,

Just going to buy a drill for jobs around the house. Putting shelves up, hanging doors, drilling to put wall plugs in etc etc

Which is best of the titled, and does a hammer drill have screwdriver action??

Cheers

Matt

Hammer drill for masonery, if its a cordless one it will be a screwdriver also, and you want one with the highest ah batteries (last longer) and the highest voltage (more powerful)

youll defo want a hammer drill if your drillin for wall plugs etc so just buy one with driver torque settings on it and ya sorted, then on the budget side of things you get what ya pay for i have a dewalt cordless 18v hammer drill and its pretty damn good but cost me a fair few quid! obviously the bigger the battery the more robust it will be as well mate
