Hammer drills are normal drills with an added hammer function
For drilling concrete or brick walls
It uses a ramming motion
You have to use a bit of force to press in for it to work
Remember to always pull the drill bit out a little every now and then
To remove loosen particles for the bit to drill more swiftly
Never use reverse while on hammer mode
Remember whatever drill bit will weaken if it's too hot
So vary your strokes
Happy drilling, hope you are not drilling peep holes

A hammer drill delivers a series of blows as it rotates. Like a hammer hitting the back of the drill bit. Works great when drilling such things as concrete. A standard drill only rotates. A hammer drill has a switch to turn the hammer on and off.

Hammer drills hammer. A hammer drill is usually a heavy duty 1/2 inch or larger drill that has the capability to hammer the chuck up and down (in and out actually) while it is rotating. It is useful when drilling in concrete.

a hammer drill is usually used for drilling into concrete type surfaces...as it rotates and makes a hammer type force as it turns the drill, where a standard drill simply turns the drill

Hammer drills give a pounding rhythm while drilling. This is normally used while drilling concrete. Regular drill just drills

A standard drill will forward and reverse. A hammer drill will will create a slight up and down or in and out motion that helps in the penetration of materials, such as concrete. They also forward and reverse.
Man, there were no answers when I started this. Gotta learn to type!

A hammer drill has "hammers" inside that send shock vibrations down the barrel of the drill in order to "impact" the work it performs, in a fashion similar to an impact wrench. You can "super tighten" or loosen with more efficiency this way, due to the constant hammering.

i believe that a hammer drill is for drilling cement or rock and a drill is for wood or metal work also hammer drills are usually bigger and more tough and high torque
