Kreg 20V Ionic DriveTM 1/2" Kompakt borr-/hammarborrset

Battery life is solid—I drilled through a dozen masonry holes on one charge and it never bogged down. The brushless motor stays cool even when I'm leaning into it on a tough spot, and the compact size fits nicely in tight corners.

For drilling into my basement's concrete wall, the hammer function chewed through without bogging down, and the 650 in-lbs of torque handled a 1/2" bit like it was nothing. It's compact enough to fit between studs, and the battery has lasted through a full afternoon of work so far.

I’d been hesitant about the 650 in-lbs of torque, but it blazed through some old masonry anchors I’d been dreading, and the compact size makes it feel like an extension of my hand. Honestly, the hammer mode surprised me the most for such a light tool.
