Well, um,

I've drilled holes in concrete (a wall) with a regular drill with success before using a nail to break up aggregate. When its two holes in 5 years, it's hard to justify a hammer drill.

Doesn't work so well in a ceiling though.

I'm currently contemplating returning the cheapo hammer drill I bought for one that at least has some metal parts in the gear box... If I can figure out at which price point that happens. Nobody seems to be aware of what's inside the drill.

Edit: I actually had one guy tell me the new brushless motor drills have no gearbox. I find that very hard to believe.
