Hi @nagumuthu,
The unit I would recommend is the Ryobi 18V ONE+ 4.0Ah Hammer Drill Kit. It's perfect for D.I.Y. jobs around the house, has a hammer function for drilling bricks, comes with a decent-sized 4.0Ah battery and is a great price.
For drill bits, I would recommend getting a couple of kits to cover the majority of what you need. The two kits would be the RYOBI 56 Piece Impact Drilling And Driving Set and a Sutton Tools 6 Piece Masonry Drill Bit Set. If you need larger sized drill bits for a project I would advise buying those individually. The same goes for tiles, if you need a specific size I would purchase the individual drill bit you need. The drill bits included in these kits are of good quality and should last a long time without the need for sharpening.
The Craftright range of drill bits is very inexpensive and could almost be deemed throw away at that price point. They will do the job you need them to but will not last anywhere near as long as the kits mentioned above. It would be my advice to purchase something of good quality that will be used for years to come.

Hi @missjane,
Thanks for your question.
I'm sure the Bunnings Workshop community will be happy to help. You might like to be a little more specific about the projects you'd like to tackle and how much you will be using the drill so that members can provide more specific and helpful advice for you.
I'd also encourage you to check out these previous discussions on the site as they have loads of valuable advice:
Thanks,

Hi @missjane,
I would recommend taking a look at the Ryobi One 18v Brushless Drill Driver. It is a brushless unit which means more runtime and power over a brushed motor unit, keyless chuck and a convenient work light. It would be worth considering upgrading to the Ryobi One 18v Brushless Hammer Drill Driver as this will also allow you to drill into masonry.
For essential drill bits, I would recommend getting a couple of kits to cover the majority of what you need. The two kits would be the RYOBI 56 Piece Impact Drilling And Driving Set and a Sutton Tools 6 Piece Masonry Drill Bit Set. These will allow you to complete many jobs around the home and garden. If there were any specific projects you wished to construct with the drill I can advise other bits to suit.
Please let us know if you need further information or have any question.

Welcome to the Bunnings Workshop community @MD. It's fantastic that you joined us and many thanks for your question about cordless drills.
You might like to have a read through this guide: How to choose the right drill for the job. From your description, it sounds like you are after a drill driver with hammer function. My recommendation would be the Ryobi 18V ONE+ 4.0Ah Hammer Drill Kit as it will do everything you need. This drill is capable of everything you have specified and comes in at 50 Nm of torque. If you'd like a bit more grunt, then consider the Ryobi One+ 18V Brushless Hammer Drill Kit which has a power rating of 85Nm of torque. The extra power would be beneficial when boring larger holes and drilling through hard masonry surfaces.
Apart from being great quality tools for the D.I.Y'er, they have made it super easy and budget-friendly to add to your collection. You can use the same set of batteries from the driver kit in any new tool from their One+ range and there are over 225 tools to choose from. This means you don't have to keep buying additional batteries with each new tool.
Personally, I use this range and have several tools from it. I've been very happy with them and haven't experienced any issues, even though I don't always treat them particularly nicely.
Please let me know if you have any questions
