What happens here

For drilling into exceptionally hard materials like concrete or masonry, your drill may include a 'hammer drill' function (often indicated by a hammer icon). When activated, this mode adds a rapid, percussive pounding action to the rotational drilling, which helps break up the hard material as the bit rotates. Remember to take it slow and allow the drill bit to do the work, without forcing it.

Goal: Drill into concrete or masonry efficiently

What they say

Speed two, more speed, less torque. Perfect for small drill bits in wood. Or soft plastics. And the hammer function right here works if you want to drill in concrete or masonry. Remember, take it slow and let the bit do the work. Anyways, I got stuff to do. I'll catch you guys later. Peace.
