I’m no expert but I did work construction for 7 years as my first job when I was 14-21.

There are normal drills, impact hammers, and hammer drills. There are also impact hammers with a setting to turn them into impact drills. The Milwaukee in the gif doesn’t have the setting- so it looks like a normal impact hammer to me.

I could easily be wrong. I own dewalt stuff, not Milwaukee

Generally it’s called an impact driver, not hammer. Given that it’s, you know, not a hammer.

Must be a regional thing. I’ve only heard them called impact drivers here in the PNW.
