An importand difference is whether you use a “[[wikipedia:Hammer drill\|Schlagbohrmaschine]]” or “[[wikipedia:Rotary hammer\|Hammerbohrmaschine]]”, and you need the correct bit for both. Now I am frustrated that English uses the same word for both of them. The first one (cam action) has a disgusting user experience, while the second one (pneumatic) is a joy. --[[Special:Contributions/162.158.110.218\|162.158.110.218]] 19:54, 7 May 2023 (UTC)		It was a few years ago when I learned how to use masonry drills.
