IMHO: Seriously, don't use one without a clutch. It will snag (especially
with the large core). Unless you have forearms like Charles Atlas it will
rip out of your hands and you will break your wrist or your nose/cheekbone
as my unlucky friend found out when the clutch on his B&Q cheapy failed.

I must have arms like Charles Atlas then! My B&Q £30 SDS drill snatched
a few times doing a 110mm hole in hard brick - it wasn't nice but it
didn't throw me off the ladder.

What helped was keeping the hole wet. Apart from keeping the dust down
the slurry seems to help the drilling process.
