Hi
Curtain pole in bedroom fell down this morning! Its pulled brackets out of the wall so I need to redrill holes. I need a cheap electric drill that will drill through very solid wall. OH says it should not be cordless as these are less powerful. But I have no idea if hes right. Drill should be cheapish, powerful and idiot proof! Any help/recommendations appreciated.
Thanks

This hammer drill seems OK for £9.99 from Argos
With a good quality masonry bit, it will certainly do the job that you want it for (drilling into a wall). You might get away with no drilling at all if you can use the old holes with larger fixing plugs and screws.
600 watt.
Variable speed switch with reverse action.
Drilling capacity 25mm wood, 10mm metal or 13mm masonry.
13mm keyed chuck.
Front handle with depth rod.
9 accessories with plastic carry case.
A Battery (cordless) drills that have hammer action for drilling into masonry is about £20 - see here
Challenge tools are OK for occasional DIY use - I have several.People are more important than things0
