A regular drill just has a transmission to allow drilling in forward or reverse gear. A hammer drill has a rotary piston or a special clutch, both of which do basically the same job of moving the drill shaft in and out while spinning. Almost every drill make has it's own proprietary method of doing this. This action is necessary for drilling masonry and concrete.
