No one uses cheap SDS drills. The only one I know, used a £25 cheapo as
a distress purchase when his SDS burnt out on a job. I know another
who has a £25 cheapie in his van in case his prime SDS burns out. This
gives reduces down time until the prime SDS is replaced ASAP, like next
day from Screwfix direct to a job. Down time can kill the profit on a
job if it runs over another day and another customer is waiting for a
promised 8:00 am start the next day.

I know many who have cheapish battery drills and mains general purpose
drills.

The one thing that shows up a cheap cordless tool is the poor batteries
(and often poor charger). Both making their use for pro work a nonsense.
