Deal Details
Bosch 1/2-in 18-volt-Amp Variable Speed Brushless Cordless Hammer Drill (1-Battery + Charger) Lowes $79. Online, store pick up and saw one in store but might be YMMV.

Some zip codes may be full price so some YMMV.

https://www.lowes.com/pd/Bosch-18...acted=true

QA Note: The $79 option seems to show up only if the store you choose has it in stock for pickup or in store only. So if OOS for you or price is higher, try another store or zip code if you can that has stock.

The Bosch GSB18V-490B12 Kit features a 1/2 In. Hammer Drill/Driver that is made to tackle demanding materials and applications (such as metal or masonry) anywhere on a worksite. The Bosch GSB18V-490 is a powerful 18V hammer drill/driver, which features Rapid Mode Selection, to switch among hammer mode, drilling mode and driving mode, engaging a clutch with 20 precision torque settings, for reduced fastener damage. Its efficient EC Brushless motor delivers outstanding runtime and longer motor life. It generates 490 In.-Lbs. of torque and a no-load bpm of 0-22,000. This drill is variable-speed and has a two-speed gearbox, designed for high-torque driving (0-460 rpm) or high-speed drilling (0-1,800 rpm). With an upgraded, all-metal chuck, the drill has great bit hold and torque transfer. The GSB18V-490 features Bosch's Electronic Motor Protection, an LED for illumination and a belt clip. It is an easy tool to handle, with an ergonomic grip zone. The kit comes with one 18V 2.0 Ah SlimPack battery and an 18V charger.
Powerful hammer drill/driver design – made with a brushless motor to deliver runtime and power for tough applications

Should be more than fine for 1/4" or so holes maybe even 3/8". Probably not the best to do 100 back to back but for a few here and there it should work awesome.

Concrete, only time you would use the hammer mode on the drill. Will do wood or metal just shot off the hammer mode.

Hammer mode is only useful for concrete? So for general home use this is probably overkill?

Not for this price, if it was $50-$100 more then a regular drill then yes. In the next 5-10 years the hammer might come into use for concrete, hard to beat for $79.
