If masonry is involved in your DIY projects, then you definitely require a hammer-action drill. Certain heavy-duty drills can be so powerful than your home projects need and so, a combination drill comes in as the best choice when you require a tool with some vigor to use for the daily jobs.

Whichever drill you go for, it's important to ensure that the drill you're using is suitable for the job. When drilling in to hard surfaces like concrete, ensure tungsten-carbide drill bits are used.
