Started using my £20 JCB 24v for a few jobs.

Trouble is I have no experience of battery SDS drills, so I don't
know if this is usual for a battery SDS? I would have expected to
drill more than 8 - 10 holes on a charge? What would a 24v brand
name do on a charge?

No exaggeration, I can use my Dewalt 18v SDS for 50+ holes of 7mm, as
well as a 40mm hole through double brick - I know as I did it last
Friday when fitting out a bathroom and new skirting in a living room.
I've got 2 batteries, and expected to use them both, but havent
changed it since that morning, and also did another 10 or so 7mm
holes in brick yesterday.
The 18v Dewalt recip saw is another thing though. 20 minutes at best
when cutting tree branches.

Obviously a different class of machine entirely. I'd be happy with a
quarter of that for £20 though :-)
