After many months of procrastination, I've finally decided that I am going to get me a hand drill for minor repairs around the house. now I am not a handyman and have no plans for any major renovation. The only upcoming project is drilling my house numbers into a concrete wall.

Could someone give me advise on what features / spec do I need to look for when trying to buy one? Cost is a concern and I do not need a top-of-the-line model with tons of feature I will never use.

I am always happy to reccoment Ryobi to people like yourself, theres plenty of reviews on here about ryobi tools.

Something around the 500-600 watt mark with hammer action. Reverse and variable speed is usually handy aswell.

Perhaps this one. Not the worlds most powerfull thing, but for hanging a picture of a shelf once a year, it will be adequate.

You will then need to team it up with some good masonry bits. Dewalt extreme2 masonry bits are very good.
