The icon is a little different to what I've seen on others and I don't know how to tell otherwise.

Is that not what we call a hammer drill? (UK based)

Impact drivers have a little hammer that helps turn the bit when it gets stuck.

Hammer drills have a little hammer that helps tap the bit downward into the material.
