TLC charge 40 quid for a proper site transformer - and for that you

IMHO the problem with most of these cheap SDS drills is not the
performance but the excessive weight - if you're using one for wall
chasing etc you really need a 2 Kg type, and these smaller ones tend
to be much more expensive.


According to the bathroom scales, this one weighs in at around 5kg, so I
guess that makes it a cheaper one (though it is solidly built).

It could just be a very powerful one. They can be useful for continuous
heavy work - or for say breaking up concrete path where you're not
actually lifting up the thing much. But for most DIY tasks are
knackeringly heavy to use. Like chasing into a wall which is something an
SDS is very useful for.
