is up a ladder or single handed

the purpose is to avoid physical injury, which is liable to happen with
sds if the bit jams. SDS use lower gearing and higher torques than trad
mains drills, and are a genuine risk.

Jumping off a 6 foot wall is a serious risk, unless you are prepared for it
;-)...... My point is that in this case the drill is crippled by the clutch,
I would rather have a tool that lets me use its full power at my own risk
(subject to the above exceptions)
