The hammer drill I have takes sds bits. It has two roles. Drilling
holes in concrete and when set in chipping mode it chips concrete. I
guess with a sharp blade you could cob wood.

My 3/8" Milwalkee (sp.) drill has some umph behind it. No woosy
cordless drill feel to it. On the other hand since the armature seems
to have some mass it does not slow down as fast as lighter weight
drills.

The other thread on favorite drills got me thinking.

I've seen many post here about how great it is to use a hammer drill rather
than a regular driver. It's been said that it makes driving the screw feel
effortless. While I can easily envision this, are you guys using these in
cabinet/furniture making ? Or for outdoor, construction, and larger, heavier
projects ? I'm having trouble picturing myself putting drawer fronts and
hinges on with a hammer drill.
