If the SDS shank on the 3/4" bit fits your drill, it'll work. It may be slower than you are used to but it will work. The trick of double drilling a hole in concrete has never worked for me. Drill the size you want, first pass.

With 3/4” holes and probably 12 or more if fare size pool I would invest in a rotohammer and not chance burning up your hammer drill. A cheap rotohammer from Harbor Freight or Amazon and can be had for around $100. Many also come with bits, though not very good quality but should last through a couple dozen holes if you don’t hit rebar…..Using proper tool for job will go much quicker. My HF rotohammers are 15yrs old and still working, using on a couple jobs a yr. Don’t have to worry about people stealing them also as when I had Hilti…

My 30+ year old hand held Milwaukee 1/2" drill has a hammer drill option. I have drilled hundreds of holes with it over the years from 3/8" to 3/4" inch. Step up to the larger sizes as mentioned. It is not as quick to do as using an actually rotary hammer drill, but it gets the job done.

Nobody mentioned it but, go all the way through the concrete. Drainage and getting the bolts out later are the concerns.

I just picked up the last one at the local HF. What grease do you use when the supplied can runs out? Also, what are the two small electrical pieces in the bag with the manual and the rubber boot in the case? 1) Grease2) Guessing they are replacement brushes.
