The icon is a little different to what I’ve seen on others and I don’t know how to tell otherwise. I have a job that involves drilling through a breeze block wall about 20cm and I don’t want the expense of buying an SDS if I can help it.

This drill was given to me a long time ago, hence not knowing what I have here.

Thanks!

    Yes it is - bit of a tool nerd here but I think that is a JCB Combi Drill. That is JCBs slightly unusual “hammer mode”, and should be no problem to drill 20cm into breeze block with a decent bit. There are a vast array of what people call “breeze blocks” from 3.6n Aircrete (one step up from that green stuff florists use) to full concrete blocks with drill blunting pieces of ballast. This drill with a decent drill bit will do all of the above, but it might take a while and need a better drill bit for the harder options.
