SDS are not suitable for drilling wood, except in a rough inefficient
way. Nor is hammer drilling, but that will suffice for some relatively

Thanks for that. As I suspected.
Seeing as my Bosch has lasted me for so long, I'll probably go for

You don't have to use an SDS drill in hammer mode though.
SDS after all only refers to the chuck design...
