Hi All.

I'm after a big SDS breaker for occasional concrete breaking. Probable infrequent use means that it is not really worth the expense of buying a premium machine (Bosch, Makita etc.). I am therefore tempted by the many and various 1700W to 3600W machines on eBay with neverheardofitbefore brands, all at around £100.

A lot of the eBay machines seem to get good feedback from users (performance, durability etc.). The one consistently reported downside is weight (20-odd Kg).

Any experience on here? Also, is more power likely to be the better option, or is 1700W plenty to break concrete, in most DIY scenarios?

Thanks.

Ant.

You *need* the weight, for a breaker. Are the premium machines really
lighter?

We were required to have 110v tools on a site some time back so I bought a cheap battery powered sds drill from B & Q. It did the job fine.(7mm holes for wall pluge, lots of them. ) One of the batteries isn't great but hey ho it saves hauling an extension lead around if we have to do some work outside the shop.
