The guy at Home Depot said i would have to use a Hammer Drill,because my
regular drill will burn the bits.
Is this true ?
Any other solution appreciated.



A home depot guy that knows what he is talking about. Maybe
they are trying to reverse their image.

Yes, he is right. Rent one, borrow one, or buy one. It will
go twice as fast and won't overheat the bits (much).

Hint; buy extra bits if you are going to be doing very many
holes.
