Eh, drilling small holes in concrete is fine. If I need to throw a quick tapcon or something in a slab I'll just use my 1/2" chuck cordless hammer drill. You're absolutely right about larger holes though. What a pain. And don't talk to me about hitting rebar lol
Interesting. Do you know any for comparison, off the top of your head? I use a Milwaukee cordless myself. In the past I've use DeWalt, but that was in the 14.4V days. I didn't think there was any difference in 1/2" chuck hammer drills beyond battery size and motor., but I'd love to learn more
TBH I've always bought drills with a hammer function simply because they have metal casings, are made of sturdier construction, and are less likely to burn out when I'm drilling in 100yr old oak doors
