Frequently Asked Questions

Which drill machine is best for home use in India?
[PLACEHOLDER: Recommend a 500–700 W variable-speed corded drill or an 18 V cordless model. Mention 2–3 specific models available on Macgly and their price range.]
What is the price of a good drilling machine in India?
[PLACEHOLDER: Give price tiers — ₹800–₹2 000 for basic home use, ₹2 000–₹6 000 for mid-range, ₹6 000–₹15 000 for professional grade. Link to the Engineering category on Macgly.]
What is the difference between a drill and a hammer drill?
[PLACEHOLDER: A regular drill rotates the bit. A hammer drill also delivers rapid axial blows, making it much more effective for masonry and concrete. Recommend hammer drills for any work on RCC walls.]
Is a cordless drill good enough for concrete walls?
[PLACEHOLDER: A brushless 18–20 V cordless hammer drill with at least 2.0 Ah battery can handle light masonry. For heavy RCC or stone, a corded hammer drill or rotary hammer is recommended.]
