Default Wickes SDS+ 3Kg drill

Does anyone know if this is the Kress 800PSE rebadged? I have one of the
older Wickes 550W SDS drills but I have a job needing a bit more oomph
and a drill with a safety clutch (diamond core drilling). The 550W drill
has been a rugged workhorse. I used it to demolish a brick outhouse - a
job it did with ease. The NuTool 3kg SDS+ drills that I used on the same
job all broke, spectacularly.The Wickes drill did the bulk of the work
with no sign of a problem.

I'm inclined to trust the Wickes drill if it is a Kress.

Any comment from those who have one / have used one welcome.
