    Go to your local hardware store and look at hammer drills, they have been doing this for a few years now.

    Hitachi drills are great. I've got the 14.4v regular drill and love it for use around the house. Great design and is still very "tight" after a lot of use. Rated pretty well on CR as well.

    @ri59:
    I prefer Bosch, but I really preferred them back in the day when they hadn't knuckled under to the "weekend carpenter" crowd, and they still made cordless screw-guns with a more sensible pistol grip instead of those "only suitable for posing with it" T-grips that people who don't know how to use the things prefer.

    That whole song and dance of "I dont know what I will use it for, but I want it anyway" is the reason we ladies have so many pairs of shoes. So what if we have nothing CURRENTLY to wear them with; we will eventually and hot shoes (like hot power tools) even look hot sitting on the shelf waiting for the opportunity to use them. (Like those HOT purple shoes I have on the shelf.)

    @nat lyon: Some places/workplaces have filters that block out "obscene" URL's. It so MORE people can view it, not less. Some even block out Facebook. If only they could apply that tech at a certain website's HQ....

    Cinder blocks aren't all that tough. You can knock one apart with a hammer.


    Cool drill, though.

    @FredicvsMaximvs salutes Spacebat:
    Cinder blocks also continue to get stronger as they age, and boring a clean hole (without shattering the whole thing or snapping the bit) is something of a challenge.


    When I worked for the maintenance department during summers at college, I got the privelege of being the first to use their brand-new Hilti masonry hammer-drill (looks not unlike the one above). I was using it on a building that was at least 30 years old, and it cut through the cinder blocks and cement like a hot knife through butter. For a couple holes, there's not any noticable discomfort, though I suspect that if you were using it all day long this version would be much preferred.
