O.K., admittedly Black and Decker sometimes gets a bad rap among the pros for lack of durability but boy was I surprised when I purchased this (bare tool only) hammerdrill. It made short work of drilling deep into a concrete floor in less than 1/4 the time it would have taken w/ a regular drill. In addition, it works interchangeably w/ all the other B&D 18v cordless tools of which I have many.
Would strongly suggest getting a good set of drill bits such as the Bosch 8pc Granite Hammerdrill Set of which the reviews are excellent:

Btw, it's truly a steal at around $40. Hope this helps -
