In SDS drills, I would rate Bosch more hghly than the others because
they invented th technology and have consistently had a good and solid
product range.

They invented so must be better. Duh! The Wickes/Kress is better

Than Ryobi? Possibly.


Matt, better than a Ryobi and a Makita and a DeWalt.


I don't think so.....


. Also HIti are superior all the way. Real industrial men use Hilti.
Their drill/drivers are superb. A main Makita 110v SDS cannot drill
6.5mm masonry holes as fast as a Hilti 15.6v battery hammer drill.
Above 6.5mm SDS is better. That is why they are the choice of real
professionals. One drill driver will give most of what many journeymen
will want all in one drill.

Same price points?


Matt, stop babbling.


Product name, spec. source and price, please.


The Hilti te72 SDS. Knocks cobs off Makita, DeWalt and the other pro
wanabees. It drills faster and outlasts them by 4 times as long or more.
They can go all day and every day for 8 hours and still lasts and lasts.
They are not cheap though. One guy on site with Hilti power tools said to
me DeWalt was DIY
stuff. He is not far off. Makita and DeWalt are only just above PP Pro,
or whatever B&Q call them now (McAlister I think), when comparing to Hilti
in build quality and performance.
