A dedicated hammer drill too, not the "all-in-one" regular

You said it!

My "main" drill is a 12VDC DeWalt drill/hammerdrill. It is what I usually use
for drilling masonry - just a couple of screws here and there. It does a
pretty good job with a FULL CHARGE.

For bigger drilling jobs, I get out a heavy extension cord the Hilti. The
difference is amazing. The Hilti is probably 3-4-times faster - and easier.
