Switched to a hammer drill for my last job and everyone laughed until I was done first

I was hanging 30 racks of conduit on a concrete ceiling at a warehouse in Phoenix last month, and the old heads swore by rotary hammers for everything. I grabbed a cheap hammer drill from Harbor Freight just to try it out on the 1/4 inch tapcons I was using, and it cut my time by half without the heavy kickback. Anyone else found a tool that the crew talks crap about but actually gets the job done faster?

Those tapcons will strip right out of the concrete within six months guaranteed.

Pre-drilling helps but those things still fail way too often.
