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

Thanks!

Yes it’s a hammer drill.

What diameter is the hole you’re trying to drill?

20 cm is thick if it’s solid core, but if you have a sharp masonry bit and let it do the work with light pressure, one hole should definitely be achievable— depending on diameter (or hitting re-bar)

I need a 20mm hole, but would.probably.work up to that.
