I'd never use a hammer drill in masonry. Here in Europe we switched to
SDS drills instead about ten years ago, and I'm never going back.

Interesting point that masonry just isn't so common in the USA. I'd
always known this, and always wondered why there was so little US
interest in decent hammer drills, but I'd never put the two together.
