Rating of the best perforators from buyers' reviews

It is difficult to imagine repairs and simple household matters without a drill, because the need to drill a hole somewhere arises constantly. However, not every tool can cope with thick, hard surfaces. The problem can be solved if there is a puncher at hand. What is its key difference from a drill? The device is able to work with the coarsest materials such as concrete, brick, metal and stone, because in addition to drilling performs holes drilling due to longitudinal-axial movement. How to choose the right puncher for a specific task? To answer the question it is necessary to conduct a comparative analysis of popular models, to evaluate their pros and cons and to make a rating of the best devices.
