Thanks

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

Something like so:

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!

Cheap ones tend to be bigger - but you can get ones which are closer to an
ordinary hammer drill in size. However, add a chuck for normal drills and
they may become longer. They don't usually give the speeds of a 'normal'
drill.

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?

If you intend using it for chasing, I'd pay the extra for a smaller
lighter one. Most cheap ones are incredibly heavy which makes holding it
up to chase walls a true pain.
