Is this a hammer drill? (infosec.pub)

The icon is a little different to what I've seen on others and I don't know how to tell otherwise. I have a job that involves drilling through a breeze block wall about 20cm and I don't want the expense of buying an SDS if I can help it.

This drill was given to me a long time ago, hence not knowing what I have here.

Thanks!

Is that not what the top symbol is? I've seen it looking differently on others

It must be the symbol for the hammer function, not much else it can be.

If you find the brand name you should be able to find the model and manual.

Also depending on diameter of the hole SDS drills are better, but if it's only one hole just try and see.

If it starts getting to hot or struggling you know you need a bigger drill 😂

Probably a bolt, not a hammer. Every drill hammer I've used has the hammer symbol, the drill symbol and then a combination of both. This lacks the combination, so it's probably not what OP is looking for.

Fair point, it could be an impact driver.
