I went out and purchased myself a tax-write-off DeWalt DC825 Impact Drill with two batteries and charger... and WOW, this thing has 150Nm of power, for a hand-held drill it has a shedload of power. Only used it a couple of times now, but soooo happy with the purchase. http://www.dewalt.com.au/powertools/productdetails/catno/DC827KL/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which drill did you actually get? I definitely wouldn't be using an impact driver for masonry. Hammer/impact drill all the way Edited 08/06/12 10:29 AM by adie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen it in action (used it), works a treat. Only drilling max to 40mm depth 4-8 holes maximum. Wall mounting of IT & Phone System equipment for customers who don't want their equipment getting f*cked.P.S. Don't try to disappoint me... I'm happy with the purchase. It was a win in my book.
