For minor home repairs and light masonry, the Skil PWRCORE 20V 1/2-inch hammer drill is a reliable, cost-effective option. It’s a 3-in-1 tool (hammer drill, drill, screwdriver) with two speeds, and it drilled through cinder brick and ceramic tile with smooth holes and no chipping in my tests. It vibrates more in hammer mode and can bog down if you lean on it, so it’s best for occasional holes—not nonstop concrete work.
