percussion drill

Pounding hole maker

A percussion drill is a power tool that combines rotation with rapid hammering action, allowing it to bore through hard materials like concrete, brick, and masonry that would resist ordinary drilling.

The hammering motion pulverizes the material while the rotation clears debris.

Also called a hammer drill.

You'll need a percussion drill to mount that bracket in the brick wall.
