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.

My experience with the usual home owner hammer drills (mine is a
quality one) is that they are pretty much useless if you hit a good
sized piece of agregate. At best it is a slow operation and best done
with a graduated set of masonry drills, start small and work up to the
size you need. I don't even bother any more, one hole to do and it is
off to the rental place.
