1/2" hammer drill
I had a Skil 1/2" hammer drill which recently bit the dust. I started looking online for a replacement and I see there are hammer drills and "rotary" hammer drills. What's the difference?
(other than price.)
I want a reasonably heavy-duty hammer drill, 1/2" chuck (can be keyless or keyed), reversible, variable speed. Any recommendations? Any I should avoid?

I believe that the difference between these two types of drills are that a 'hammer drill' uses standard drill bits chucked in a Jacobs chuck, while the rotary hammer drill is a much heavier duty machine. It uses specialty bits which fit in a splined shaft rather than an adjustable Jacobs chuck.
