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


No - not like that. Like this:

http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/xchg/lidl_uk/hs.xsl/index_10533.htm

(Current special, as of yesterday. If you want one, go today. If the link
doesn't work, go to their current specials - changing postcode to
somewhere in the South of England if it still doesn't appear.))

The Screwfix one is a heavy, awkward brute. The Lidl one is cheaper, more
manageable and is up to the job. And far more likely to be usable for
other purposes, if needed. I have the equivalent they were selling last
year and actually rather like it. Well aware that it isn't up to the
standard of a Makita or Bosch blue, but perfectly adequate for my needs.

What does 'SDS' mean anyway? 'Define: SDS' in google comes up with nothing
about drills.
What is it that makes 'SDS' able to do a job that a 'hammer' drill won't?
