"A mains Makita SDS will not outdo it in brick up to 6mm". That
tells you a lot about this baby. If you don't need to drill larger
than 6.5mm this will sail though brick.

That's a big "if".

It is not a big if at all. It is equal, if not better than a Makita SDS.

It may be (according to you) but only in circumstances where you
wouldn't use an SDS anyway.


Most masonry drilling is in 8mm or larger.

Most DIY is small stuff.

You fit shelves to walls using 6mm plugs?


also much pro work is that small depending on what you do.

making doll's houses?



You can do larger and it still perform very well, although not as good
as an SDS above 6.5mm. I know of no battery drill that touches it.

You probably don't.

I don't.

Mmmm....
