They have this today for $79. What’s he difference between a hammer drill vs a regular drill ?

The hammer drill is great for drilling into concrete, brick, etc.

Thanks. I did look it up and understand now but I've always been wary of a device or tool or anything really that tries to be too many things and multi-functional and ends up being good at none. I took a pass even though in hand it felt like a quality tool.
You agree?

Actually, just saw and read some reviews of this exact model and it seems like a very high quality tool ........ and at a steal of a price at $79. In store its $99 but the tool manager at HD said he'd honor the online price.

I use tools often for work and at home. So I buy dedicated tools. I’ve got a drill, a hammer drill and an impact drill- and every other tool under the sun.
That being said; I’d trust a quality hammer drill to function as both, but they are heavier and larger so that is something to consider as well.
It really comes down to your intended use and budget.

If you haven’t already bought a tool I would really like to recommend a Ryobi Impact and Drill Set they sell at Home Depot. They go on sale for $100 for both and come with both Impact & Drill plus 2 batteries a charger and a bag that’s fits everything inside. For light to medium work this is more than enough. I’ve had my set for 4 years plus still with original batteries. I worked at a furniture store and used it all day everyday for 2 years. Plus for some mechanic work and home DIY never failed me. Highly Recomend.

Glad you have one. One of the knocks on it (actually the only one from what I've read) is that it is poor at rotating very slowly with low RPM's and that it locks up requiring a reset of the trigger if you try to go too slow.
When doing light work around the house installing and hanging stuff, going slow going in or backing out is something you need to do fairly often in my opinion.
Whats been your experience with this and that model?
Thanks!!

Haven't used it enough to see any issues, all i have heard is positive. However, since it is ridgid through HD. if anything ever messes up you get it fixed free. All of your choices are good tools. Personal preference on color and options really. Can't go wrong with any of them.
Have you went to HD or Lowes to check them out?

I have a Dewalt drill/impact 20v brushless combo. I use the impact the vast majority of time.

Ended up getting the first Ridgid I saw........ and for only $54. Marked down, got the online price, and then another $25 off for opening a credit card that I will immediately cancel.
Complete set with batteries/charger, 750" torque, switchable drill/driver/hammer, brushless, and lifetime service/parts/warranty. Not bad.
Now I'll use it 2-3 times a year, forget I have it, and never find it in my basement.
