mid-range still doesn't really help, since people's opinions on mid-range
differ!! Anyway I have the Bosch GSB20-2RE

- comes with a 3 year warranty and is the quality you would expect from

I've not kept up with technology in this dept. and would appreciate
recommendations for a replacement.
Would prefer mains voltage as opposed to cordless.
Used for general drilling, wood, metal, brick, block etc. Also
occasionally used with holes saws, flap wheels etc. Chuck must be min
1/2" (13mm) Looking for quality & reliability.
Thanks

Got the same one and the equivalent in SDS. Paired together they have
fittted more kitchens and bathrooms and renovated more houses than I care to
remember. Not bad for a few hundred quid and certainly good enought for
domestic and light pro use.
