Having a drill that’s durable enough to break through tough surfaces is a nice option for home remodels, and that’s where the Chicago Electric Power Tools hammer drill comes into play. You can pick up this drill from Harbor Freight for $34.97, but don’t let the low price throw you off, as it has good scores from buyers. With over 700 reviews, it has a 4.4 out of five rating. The attached handle allows for more control, and it’ll be good for drilling through wood and concrete alike.
Some downsides are worth mentioning with the drill, however. A few reviewers note the variable speed isn’t up to snuff, and it can have trouble holding certain speeds. Instead, you have to rely on your trigger finger to keep the speed at what you want it to be. That’s not going to be a huge deal for a lot of people, but it’s something that could prove to be an issue with a drill that has variable speed as one of its selling points. It’s also not cordless, so you’ll need to make sure you’re close to a wall outlet for work.
