Cordless Drill / Driver for Concrete Walls: Sunday DIY - Metabo SBE 650, SB 760, Bosch GSB 13 RE

Hello,

I wanted to ask for professional advice. Well, I would like to buy a cordless drill for Sunday DIY. It depends on the screwdriving function, but also drilling in concrete walls (small, rarely performed works), the maximum depth of the hole is 8 cm, diameter 8-10 mm.

Due to the low intensity of the planned works, I would not like to burden the budget and invest up to PLN 250-280. Is it possible to make a few holes in a concrete wall with such equipment? Naturally, I would go in the direction of network drill holes, but in the basement where I would like to make open holes, I do not have a socket.

I sent several inquiries to the hardware stores. I received the following options:

Store No.1:

Hammer drill SBE 650 Impuls Metabo case, Product code:, 600672000


Impact drill SB 760 with Metabo toothed chuck, Product code:, 600840000

Store No.2:

14V 2 Aku 1.5 Ah Triton screwdriver 322 PLN

What do you think about these types? Do you have experience in this matter? What would you recommend to me in the given budget?

greetings

Metabo, or Milwaukee is the top shelf, I have a Milwaukee impact screwdriver which cost over 2,000 6 years ago. and to this day it works like a razor, the li-ion battery is kept almost like new, I also had a Hitachi for 700 PLN, but after exactly 1.5 years of use, both batteries died; / Hitachi is at the level of Makita, medium shelf, Graphite or Einhell yet weaker.

To drill in concrete with a screwdriver, you have to spend well over a thousand, and still it is exhausting the equipment and yourself. For PLN 300, I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Better get the cheapest hammer drill and screwdriver.

Hi,

thanks for the answers.

On the one hand, you are right, because the equipment must be solid, but on the other hand, I will use it from time to time to hang a light painting in my apartment or a nail in the basement. With an ordinary 4.5 V screwdriver from castorama for PLN 50, to which they added a drill with a diameter of 3.5 mm, I can drill 2.5-3 cm, so I thought that the equipment for PLN 300 would be able to drill 5 cm more.


To make maybe 20-30 holes in the walls in my entire history of drilling, I will not buy equipment for PLN 1000 and I do not have a socket in the basement to buy a power drill And I do not want to borrow a drill every time ...

For "Sunday" work, choose something from the middle price range, but with a Li-ion battery.
Unfortunately, impact is useful for drilling in concrete. Cheap cordless drill without hammer action until 0:34 then with hammer action:

If you don't need to drill in concrete often, maybe focus your attention on a good cordless screwdriver (Li-ion), and for concrete, buy the cheapest drill, e.g. for PLN 39: https://youtu.be/BwPiPhZDyh0

Hey freebsd,

This is exactly what I would do and I would not create a post, it is just a matter of not being able to connect a network processor in the basement.

Greetings

If you hardly ever drill in concrete, consider buying a drill-driver without impact, and for occasional work, use a power tool rental.

Hello, I join the topic. I just made a small folding bench for the cemetery. I have a question for you, how to screw it to concrete? I was planning on wall plugs, but how to drill holes for plugs? In the cemetery, there is rather no electricity to connect a normal drill. I thought to take a cordless drill, but does it make sense, will it handle concrete? I am asking for hints

Well, you probably have no choice, as there is no "mains" electricity. Either a battery or a generator, I don't see any other choice. If you have a cordless drill, try it, and if you doubt that it will not cope, the aggregate only saves you. You have no other option (at least I don't see it) .

Once upon a time I had to screw the tombstone on, and then I had a Bosch PSB 12 VE-2 screwdriver at my disposal. It is true that there are four wall plugs, but they did it without any problems. The accessories are important, i.e. a good quality widia drill - I used Bosch drills.

I recommend
