I always thought a standard drill was fine for masonry until I had to mount a panel on a 100 year old brick wall.
The regular drill took 15 minutes per hole and smoked the bit. Borrowed a rotary hammer from the guy next door and it went through like butter in 30 seconds. What's your go-to tool for old brick or concrete?

Wear safety glasses, that dust is no joke.

Man, I feel your pain. I tried to hang a shelf on my old basement wall with a regular drill and it was a total nightmare. The bit just spun and made a shiny spot on the brick. I finally bought a cheap rotary hammer drill from the hardware store, and it changed everything. It punches right through with almost no pressure. What size bit were you using for that panel?
