Hi all Sifus, looking for a budgeted drill which can drill the concrete wall of my condo. From all the previous posts I can conclude the safest is to get a rotary hammer drill.

So far I saw this is most budgeted and have decent reliability.

Skil Rotary Hammer 1716

Specifications: 2Kg Rotary Hammer 1716
• Rated power input: 600 W

• Impact energy: 1,7 J

• Impact rate at rated speed: 0 - 4400 bpm

• Rated speed: 2030 rpm

• Weight without cable: 2.3 kg

• Toolholder: SDS-plus

• Top-Product: 0

• Max. drilling diameter in steel / wood: 13 / 30 mm

To be safe before I buy just want to double confirm with all Sifus whether this drill power enough to handle any kind of concrete wall? (Take less than 10 seconds to drill a hole?)

Do you stay in condo as well?
Please let me know if that works fine and around how long to drill a hole for the plug. Thanks!

Hi guys,

I bought the skil 1716 from Lazada with RM337 including delivery fees. Pretty satisfy with its performance, which allows me to drill a 6mm hole for anchor within 20 seconds. I think this is quite a good choice for those with low budget like me.
