Did you get one in the end ? Is it any good ? I was tempted by this
email too.

my neighbour bought one (he has to have every tool), he's been using
it all day and says it's well worth the money but IMO it's way too
heavy

It's not SDS, so a waste of time. May as well buy a proper SDS drill,
you will not look back.

A battery SDS is a total waste of money for anyone other than a pro who
may be able to justify it for specialised jobs.

To be any good it needs a power output of around 500 watts to match even
an el cheapo mains one - and just how long do you think a battery will
last under those conditions?

A cordless drill needs to be reasonably light to make sense - few DIYers
will be far from a power supply so can use a mains one where serious
drilling power is needed. IHMO, this sets the top limit at about 18 volts
- 12 will be quite enough if a quality tool and battery.
