Looks aside, hammer drills and impact drills have a very different role to fulfill on a job site.

Sadly, this leads to a lot of people actually purchasing the wrong kind of drill. Also, stores tend not to do a great job of explaining the exact differences between the two. You would be forgiven for mistaking a hammer drill for an impact drill, just looking at their appearance alone, both kinds of drills look roughly similar (although if you really look up close, you will notice some key differences). What is the difference between a hammer drill and an impact drill? Do I need an impact driver if I own a hammer drill? Let me help you.
