Corded, cordless, or a hammer?

This is a corded drill, which is why it is 23 KD rather than 70: there is no battery and no charger in the price, and it will run all day without one. The trade-off is a cable.

The impact setting is for masonry - block, brick and render. On its own it is enough for wall plugs and fixings up to 15 mm. For repeated holes in poured concrete, an SDS rotary hammer is the right machine instead and will do it faster and with less wear on you. If you want a drill without a cable, see the 18 V cordless hammer drill, which comes with two batteries and a charger.

Drill bits are not included and are not listed against this product - masonry, wood and HSS bits are separate items, and masonry bits are not interchangeable with wood or steel bits.

Questions

Can it drill concrete?

It is rated to 15 mm in masonry with the impact setting on. For a lot of holes in poured concrete, an SDS machine is the better tool.

Does it come with a case or bits?

Neither is listed in the product record. Ask to see the box at the counter.

What chuck does it take?

A 1.5-13 mm chuck, so any standard round-shank bit up to 13 mm.

Is there a speed control?

The no-load speed is 0-2800 rpm, so the trigger is variable, and the rotation reverses for backing a screw or a bit out.
