Just the image of Sharks on his hands and knees is enough for me.....

Bunnings has them for $18.88, by the palette load.
Hammer drills, too.

(no wheel though, and shockingly poor construction.)

Well there's cheap and there's poor quality, and the two donn't always

(I've got a Makita angle grinder that was fished out of a dumpster,

New power cord! Oooh, look who's all hoity-toity since he
became landed gentry. Should have fished through the dumpster
looking for a dead kettle or something.

(Right, off to Tintaldra then! See you there, slackers!)

I bought a hammer drill once. Had problems with it punching holes into
the nails....

I can imagine. Limited home use items. Shits itself, get another one.
Sort of like these $70 printers that I've been buying lately. Cheaper
than the ink carts...
