6 years ago, I bought the craftsman cordless hammer drill, and was happy for some time, as I also had their regular drill, and their batteries interchanged.
But a year ago all those batteries started failing and now they're all gone, and I'm in the market for newer drill/drivers. Maybe I'm cheap, but methinks 6 years is too short for 4 batteries to fail at the same time, so I'm gonna stay away from Craftsman now.
First need is a hammer drill as I need to punch some holes above the garage door to install a basketball hoop.
So, wondering - wouldn't a corded hammer drill be cheaper and more efficient? I would still get a cordless drill/driver later, but for the specific use of a hammer drill, I could do without the flexibility of the cordless. How's the 'kickback' of a corded one - any better or worse than a cordless drill/driver on the wrist? And I ain't a professional, so don't need the heavier industrial strength ones.
And while there, any particular brand recommendation, for hammer drills or the regular kind, corded or not?
