Use a hammer drill to hang shutters and lights on the outside of your brick home. Install a basketball pole or entry gate in the driveway. Mount a new slide or underwater light to the pool. Some models even allow you to use a chisel bit to quickly remove plaster and tile from walls and floors. They're amazingly useful.
Hammer drills look like an ordinary drill, but most have an extra handle and a guide rod attached.
Use a hammer drill to bore through concrete and stone. Set the guide rod to the depth you want your hole and rest the tip of it against the masonry. Dial in the hammer drill function and pull the trigger. As the bit spins, the chuck that holds the bit moves in and out against the work surface a combined, rapid-fire action that allows it to drill into masonry as much as three times faster than a standard drill.
