I've never had a masonry drill but installing the well filter installation involved drilling a lot of holes in the concrete walls. This little gem does its job very well, compared to trying to use a regular power drill it's probably 1000% better. It has clear instructions, seems to work very well, and drilled good 2.5" holes in my wall in a very short amount of time. Comes with everything including a small can of lube, drill bits and a chisel. There are probably 20 or 30 more holes to drill while I do the plumbing and bolt my hydraulic tank to the floor so let's look at durability but I am very impressed with the overall quality and performance of this tool. I would highly recommend it for housework, not sure about professional use but would try. I haven't tested it with a chisel either, but it seems like it makes removing the tile easier.
