Ironton Hammer Drill - 1/2in. Chuck, 0-2800 RPM; 0-44,800 BPM

Ok let's be real if you bought this or are looking at it you probably are doing what I did, which is you need it for a single job maybe a dozen holes in your basement or similar. It's so worth the tiny amount of $ for that. The bits I bought cost more. So now I've got a cheap electric drill for a back up. Worked great. Can't believe how cheap. Will it last a decade? Of course not. Who cares it was less then $20 and worth it for the 30 minutes I needed it.

This would be a worthwhile inexpensive drill for light masonry work or working with wood. Unfortunately, I needed to drill into concrete steps to attach handrails and it just wasn’t up to the task. It’s just not powerful enough to go through old concrete. I spent hours trying to drill four holes and managed to get only half way deep enough to set the anchors for each. I borrowed a friends heavier duty DeWalt and finished the remaining 16 holes and finish the 4 I had started in about an hour and a half. I burned up five drill bits using this drill but only one with the DeWalt.

I give it 5 because you can't beat the price. I just needed to drill into brick to install about 30 tapcon screws and it did great. Yeah it's cheap and plasticky and probably won't last under heavy construction usage.I have other brand name drills but they don't hammer and for 15 bucks you can't buy enough tylenol to counter the headaches you have using a normal drill.

I needed a hammer drill to install anchors in my concrete basement walls. A concrete bit on a regular drill will just burn up the bit. This hammer drill accomplished the task in seconds per hole with 1/4" hammer drill bits. I can see that this tool is likely to do every job I have for it in my home. I think this is an excellent deal for 15.00.

Nice

Bought for a one time job. Works, but not top quality. Good for the price.

Spent 5 hours with a Ridgid 18V Drill, just drilled 1.5 holes, almost burned the drill out. With this baby, less than 10 seconds per hole.

Needed this piece for brick fastening. Then got a cantilevered umbrella that needed to be solidly secured to a cement patio. Drill performed flawlessly. Good value.
