FYI: Plug in if that wasn't obvious. Batteries are way nicer. They always are. I use mine a lot building a retaining wall but it's still never going to be something you use every single day. Plugin is fine if your work is around the house. A: Buy a bigger guage extension cord B: never plug your extension cord into one of those smart plugs you might have outside for your string lights. This will pull too many amps for those. Ask me how I know.
Rambling: The difference between this and a hammer drill or power drill or sds drill or whatever you call them is that the better ones have a rotation option. It doesn't get used as much as the percussive hammering aka jack hammer but it has it's uses like drilling into concrete or my favorite, using the auger to dig straight down. But, that being said, the spade bit on the percussive setting is the absolute best investment you can make for any serious digging. The spade bit on a percussive setting will break up clay into loose chunks for you to dig out. Back to rotational, being able to flip the spade upside down or right side up is a difference maker once in a while when you're trying to dig into hard to reach places. So again, it has a purpose.
Breaking up ice! This sounds like overkill but something like this with a very broad bit or the spade bit does WONDERS on breaking up big chunks of ice in the winter. Don't hammer directly down into the concrete or pavers. Rather, find a fissure in the ice and exploit that an an angle. Just a quick application of pressure and few trigger pulls will pop a giant chunk of ice up. Finesse is key but if you've broken concrete you'll also know you need quite a bit of pressure to blow a chunk of concrete out. Stay away from the concrete edges. My tips here are warning for the long term 100 winters of seismic ice breaking will crack your concrete. So use the least amount of force and the biggest widest bit to spread out the force as possible.
