HI guys!

I wish to know on what to consider the best cordless power hand drill. I wish to have a handy tool for embedding good survey markers on very durable concrete surfaces.

Thank you.

You asked for the best, not the cheapest, so....

Bosch 36v Hammer Drill

I've been very happy with the Bosch 11536VSR 36-volt rotohammer. A bit spendy, but very powerful.

Here's a review of cordless rotary hammer drills from Tools of the Trade magazine.

Cordless Rotary Hammer Drills

They pick the Hilti TE 7-AC as the winner. The Bosch 11536VSR had the fastest drilling time but is rated a "close second" due to noise and vibration. That might be a consideration if you were going to be drilling holes all day but maybe not so much for your application.

I haven't used any of the drills in this review but I have relied on the reviews in Tools of the Trade for years and have never been disappointed.

I will third the Bosch vote, although I haven't drilled that many holes it does work well. Last hole was through about eight inches of concrete in the stem wall of my house, drilled a 5/8" hole in about a minute flat, very impressed.

I have a friend with a Hilti, not sure of teh model, BUT he has drilled a ton of holes with no issues, I think either drill would serve you well.

Thank you so much for sharing.
