Drilled 4 today. Brand new concrete bit. Went well for about an inch. Then it was tough. Does a hammer drill make much difference? I have more to do, Thanks

Big Difference with a hammer drill -bigger the unit the better and faster the drill works .
Life lesson: If you’re being chased by a lion, you’re on a horse, to the left of you is a giraffe and on the right is a unicorn, what do you do? You stop drinking and get off the carousel.

A rotary hammer drill and SDS bit will be a night and day difference. If you have a lot of holes to drill renting a rotary hammer drill and purchasing a bit is the way to go. SDS bits are a bit expensive compared to standard carbide, with a lot of holes to drill they are a bargain.
