Anywho, decided to buy something decent & put another £20 into buying a
Hitachi FDV16VB2 which is also a 550w jobby with a 13mm chuck. What a nice
tool, very light, plenty of welly, very positive chuck.

I don't know what they're like now, but my father bought a Hitachi hammer
drill years ago (can't remember the model number) to replace an AEG that
was stolen and it has been very good and reliable for many years.
