If your only "difficult" drilling requirement is making holes for wall
plugs in hard walls then you could go for a less sophisticated SDS mains
drill (say 40 quid), and spend a bit more on a decent drill/driver.



What brands would be OK at that price (40 quid)?


There will be many limitations to the tools at this price point (google
back on this forum, they have been done to death in the past), but if
your requirement in "holes in hard stuff PDQ" then you won't be bothered
by many of them other than perhaps the lack of electronic speed control
which limits the finesse of whole drilling a little.

The NuTool Pro (orange and silver) may do what you want - its not _too_
heavy, and has a safty clutch. You may also find some of the sheds own
brand tools or the Argos offerings OK. If you spend a little more there
is a consumer (i.e. green) Bosch that Argos do that seems to get
reasonable reports.
