Default Drilling problems into concrete

Thanks

I could be tempted into buying an SDS drill I spose if I could justify
further use.

Something like so:

http://www.screwfix.com/prods/58494/.../Direct-Power-
BS26S3-5kg-SDS-Plus-Drill


Couple of questions

1) if I get an SDS is there any real reason to keep my normal drill? They
still work like normal drills on wood/metal etc AFAIK - downside is that
they are much bigger!

2) Any difference between the difference type shapes? i.e the one I linked
above as opposed to the normal shaped drills that don;t have the fat bit
infront of the handle

3) Does the weight 5kg or 6kg just mean the higher weight the more heavy
duty?

4) Can the chisel action be used for something like taking out pointing on
a patio?


Anything else to think of?
