this is a good drill and I bought it for the hammer drill function. I've used it to mix up my drywall mud and its easy to smoke it out with that sort of resistance but overall it does what it is designed to do

These were not overly expensive and come in a nice storage case for easy selection. Need more time to truly evaluate quality. I did lose a tip almost immediately when drilling into a pebble imbedded in cement slump stone brickbut that can happen! Great to have the hex shanks too!

Overall a very capable drill, reversable and hammer capability. Only two minor issues with it. First, the trigger is not very "variable". You have to be very careful if you want low speed because it does not take much pressure and distance of pull on the trigger to go from zero to max speed. The second more irritating aspect is the adjustment of the support handle. The is the first drill I've seen that does not allow you to loosen the handle and move it to any position you want. Instead you need to loosen the handle, move it forward, then rotate it close to where you want it and then try to fit it back up into the "slots" the handle has for it to fit into. And it's not easy to move it forward and back. Unfortunate design decision that takes time and effort you shouldn't have to deal with. Oh, and one more thing, the depth gauge is an afterthought. You might as well put the rod in your tool drawer and not worry about it, you'll probably never use it and it gets in the way.

I needed a hammer drill to drill some holes in cinder block walls for Tapcon concrete anchors. Knowing I wouldn’t need a hammer drill very often, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money on a professional grade hammer drill. On the other hand, I didn’t want to go super cheap either. After a lot of research, I decided this Skil 7.5 amp 1/2-inch hammer drill was a good mid-level choice. It's not a Milwaukee or DeWalt, but it's better quality than a Bauer hammer drill from Harbor Freight. This Skil hammer drill (7.5 Amp/3,000 RPM/ 48,000 BPM) appears to be very similar to Craftsman’s corded 1/2-inch hammer drill (7 Amp/3,100 RPM/ 52,700 BPM) , for 15 - 20 less. So far, I'm very happy with this drill. I have only used it to drill a dozen holes for concrete anchors in cinder block walls, but it did the job quickly and effortlessly. I have no doubt it will handle more demanding jobs without a problem. The housing of this hammer drill is made entirely of plastic. I would have preferred a metal gear housing. The side handle is also made entirely of plastic, feels rather cheap and does not hold the depth stop rod very securely. However, a metal gear housing and beefier side handle would presumably add to the cost of this drill, and it was the relatively low cost that attracted me to this drill in the first place. So I guess I can’t complain too much. And given that I'm not likely to use this hammer drill more than a few times a year, I expect it will last many years, even with the plastic gear box housing. I also wish this drill had a keyless chuck. All of my cordless drills have keyless chucks and I had forgotten what a pain keyed chucks are. That said, when tightened with sufficient torque a keyed check probably holds drill bits more securely than a keyless chuck, which might matter on a tough drilling job. In the end, I think this Skil hammer drill is a great option for a DIYer, or even a professional handyman, who doesn’t need a hammer drill often. It is more than adequate for occasional use. It won’t impress diehard Milwaukee, DeWalt, Bosch or Makita fanboys, but it will get the job done and you will have extra money in your pocket to spend on tools you will use more often.

Bought to use with a mixer for self leveler. Burned out after 5 minutes of use. Otherwise seems to be built better than similarly priced drills but ended up buying Rigid Mud Mixer as replacement.

No 1/2inch attachments, drill bits, or nutdriver bit. Biggest size is 3/8 inch for some bits and 7/16 inch for others. My project was to mount my tv and this came up two times as an issue. Had to do a messy work around which use a smaller bit and circle it around to make a big enough hole. Drill works fine though. A bit more powerful than you’d expect. You might slip and put the thing that holds the bit into the wall (the depth guard that is advertised will slip unless REALLY cranked)

Wow! Drills through concrete like a hot knife through butter. I first tried to drill some 3/8” holes in 30 year old concrete using a good concrete bit and my trusty Makita XPH10 set to the hammer mode. Did not work. After an hour of effort, it still barely made a dent. Using the same bit, I drilled both holes with my new Skill hammer drill in just a few minutes. Despite its low price, this drill is solid and works as it should. Highly recommend.

I rented one first and then had a lot of concrete to drill though and bought this one. It worked like a charm, easy to use, light weight but strong enough to do the job and still going strong after the 25th hole.

Used this drill to screw down my plastic shed. It definitely is not as powerful as a more expensive hammer drill would be, and definitely needed some elbow grease to get the job done. But at the end of the day, it was affordable and came with dozens of accessories and it got the job done. Can't complain

I liked that it came with a variety of drill bits and sever hex head bits. It also had a quick connect attachment. It drilled into cement with no problem. The only thing that could be improved, and it's minor, is the chuck. It's not that good. It slipped and I was not confident that it tightened up the drill bit as tight as it should. But, do not hesitate to buy this tool. You will be very happy. It does the job!

It was definitely missing pieces which was extremely disappointing! I wouldn't recommend this because it looked brand new not used so I didn't understand why all the bits weren't in there and I would hate for that to happen with someone else because let's be honest you are choosing this particular one because of the bit set and you expect to get what you pay for. Now me personally I have SOOOO MANY so It didn't matter but i still loved it I need to put up a fence for the porch and it worked perfectly getting through the concrete was a breeze! Bits was sturdy lasted for the whole job (have water on top of concrete to help when it over heats to prevent them from breaking) it will get hot!!
