So there I am, just about ready to buy a power planer (as asked about in
the
group earlier) when temptation overcomes me and I decide to bite the
bullet
and get an SDS drill whilst I'm at it. I do need one and it will be
getting
a fair ammount or use around the house during my rewire.

After perusing the ScrewFix and Toolstation websites I pretty much have it
down to a choice of two:
Makita 2kg SDS - 780w - 1100rpm - 4500bpm - 2.4kg = £120
DeWalt 2kg SDS Plus - 650w - 1100rpm - 4200bpm - 2.4kg = £110

A few quick questions before I make my choice:
the Makita has a higher rated bpm, but does that actually matter that
much?
the Makita has a higher rated wattage, does that actually matter?
the Makita is listed in the 'SDS Plus' section of the ScrewFix website,
can
I presume that it is 'SDS Plus'?
does 'SDS Plus' matter, or are all SDS drills 'SDS Plus'?
Is the DeWalt brand better than the Makita brand or vice versa?

Sorry to pester the group over this, and any responses are appreciated.

Thanks

Seri



I have the bosch industrial one with two chucks and its the mutts. I would
go for that one just for the ease of chuck changing, it isn`t 6 feet long
with the normal chuck on. Its this one.

Used it in anger loads and its been the best tool I have ever owned.

As for the Dewalt/Makita debate, just brought my first Dewalt tool, a
circular saw. So far it has been just as good as my makita tools, however
the finish is not as good, as in some stickers aren`t stuck down properly
and the castings aren`t excellent. But that said the motor on it is superb.
I think that they are just as good as one another IMHO.
