Hammer Drill
If the power is down, the corded one is useless too
AE I was responding to this..........
RD says the corded ones are no good cuz you can't use them when the power is down. So I just say well that battery one is no good once the battery goes dead and the power is down............

The new sets come with 2 batteries - which charge in an hour.
You keep both charged
Can’t argue with that, lol! Buy a manual hammer as a backup.
Can't drill a hole with a hammer

well yes and no ..............
Before the hammer drill invasion they sold, and may still do, a hand held device you would insert a carbide drill bit. You pounded the mushroom shaped head of the device with a hammer. As you pounded it make the bit rotate about half a turn. Pound away and you have a hole in the concrete, albeit not a perfect size hole but a hole nonetheless. Use that electric hammer in post #26 and you got it made in the shade.
Mine is a RIGID

I'm not reading through the threads, so if this recommendation has already been posted, my apologies.. I prefer my large Milwaukee plug in, but there are times dealing with water systems and tanks like I do where a good cordless is what is needed. I use the Dewalt 20volt max for a my cordless. I do have issues with the batteries not lasting as long as I'd like, but it has the power needed to get the job done. It will not stall. I've tried different 18 volt, but they didn't hold up and lacked power. No matter what you choose, go with 20 volt. Also, If I were in your shoes, I think I'd make a trip to Puerto Rico. Buy one and bring it back.
Good luck.
