impact drill

Rotary masonry penetrator

An impact drill is a power tool that combines rotary drilling with a hammering action, delivering rapid forward thrusts while the bit spins.

This percussive motion helps drive through hard materials like concrete and masonry that would resist ordinary drilling: You'll need an impact drill for these brick walls.

Also called a hammer drill.
