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'd get the Hilti TE5 or TE6.
One month credit if account is opened can pay by credit card giving
effectively two months credit. If one pays one's credit card bill on
time this is quite efficient credit.
