do I need a better one (I suspect so).
Unless you are doing really wild shit (like putting a cat flap through a solid wall) then I suspect you just need new / better bits if your current drill is struggling to get through masonry to hang a picture frame or some shelves.

Maybe that's the issue, or it may just be the actual walls.
Hate to blame the tools but one of my walls is just a nightmare to drill into with dry and crumbly stone filled bricks which result in any hole crumbling to twice its intended size. -
new / better bits
Hung some curtains the other day. First time using a 4mm pilot hole with the drill on hammer and high torque. Game changer.
Can't believe I kept using the worn out ones for so long.
@chrisbmx116 New ones are just DeWalt for around a tenner, nothing insane.

Pretty sure someone said for masonary bits you want to buy non-shit ones and then replace, rather than spending a fortune or buying cheap ones.

Hammer drills, do I need a better one (I suspect so).
I have this.
