You don't necessarily need a hammer drill, it makes life a lot easier but you can get by without one, you cannot get by without a masonry drill bit.
If your garage wall is sheetrock then you don't even need a drill, yes it's easier. But in a pinch I've used a screwdriver and a hammer to make a hole for sheetrock anchors.

What you want is an SDS rotary hammer with SDS bits (these are not that). Much higher force impacts that will drill smoothly through even old concrete.
DeWALT makes a few models in the 20v variety that will all drill into concrete better than even the best hammer drills.
An SDS has more powerful punches, but really isn't necessary for the small holes in concrete block that you probably need for your project.
And even with a hammer drill, that 1/2" bit will be slow going - in old/hard/high-strength concrete you're going to struggle. If you're drilling more than a few holes, get (cheap at HF or rent) a rotary hammer and the related SDS bits. Those go through concrete like butter
Hammer drill is nice to have when you need it. I just have the basic Ryobi one, and it's done fine whenever called up for duty.
Remember - the most expensive tools you own are the ones you have never used.
