When pointing someone at this FAQ at

I noticed an error in it...

"Hammer only, no rotation
Not all models have this (sometimes the ones that do are called SDS+ drills).
"

I believe this is incorrect. SDS+ (or SDS Plus) refers to one of the
types of SDS chuck, of which there are (or rather, were) three formats:

SDS
Original, became obsolete and vanished before SDS drills became
widespread.

SDS+ (or SDS Plus)
The most common format with two splines and two dimples on the bits,
often now simply called SDS as the original SDS format has vanished.

Yup, I think this is probably out of date now... there was a brief
period where they seemed to be using the + to denote ones with roto stop
(even though in reality they all are SDS+ anyway) bu there seems to be
no consistent use anymore.
