  1. If you get hole saws, definitely stay away from the cheap Carbon Steel Hole Saws, they are not worth any amount of money, get a good set of Bi-Metal Hole Saws, they'll last a lot longer and are the right tool for the job.
    (this is the kind of cheap hole saw to avoid: https://lzd-img-global.slatic.net/g/shop/41608ecfe1b145f6f3af751b24e4991a.jpeg_2200x2200q80.jpg_.webp )

  2. I've bought a few of the ultra-cheap "Zinsano" (Chinese) power tools from Homepro, they've actually worked quite well. An impact driver (as opposed to an impact -drill-) is an essential item for drilling holes in the concrete or brick walls here, and my Zinsano has held up very well. (as well as a regular drill set).
