A drill is a very useful construction tool, but in some situations, its use can be complicated by the specifics of the work surface, in particular, drilling in the horizontal plane. And, if also the number of holes is planned quite a lot, it is more reasonable to use a drilling machine.
But such tool is not a cheap one, and not very actual at home. Fortunately there is an alternative – the drill stand. Which proved to be the best in work? Our experts have collected for you the most popular models, optimal for domestic use.
