I wouldn't be surprised if a Chinese 1 metre 25 mm SDS bit and a basic drill
for maybe £50 was cheaper than a "western" plain drill on its own

I bought a screwfix 1m 25mm for £25 when they were doing them cheap -
fine in brickwork.

Plenty (non SDS) for less than £20 but they don't say what the shank
diameter is.

It's unlikely I'll need to drill more than a couple of holes so was
trying to keep the cost to a minimum.

I appreciate SDS would be better/faster but the time it takes me to
drill them isn't a big issue.
