Can anyone suggest where I may find an adapter to fit in my wickes SDS+
drill so I can use standard bits in non hammer mode?


An adaptor is available which will screw into a standard Jacobs chuck
and allow you to insert it in the SDS 'ole. They're only a couple of
quid, although I don't know if B&Q and the like has them. You'd find
them at a decent toolstore. I bought the last one from a hire centre.


My Argos SDS came with one in the box, same with the Macro version
(14.99 + Vat). I thought it was a std offering (but apparently not)
;-(

I'll have a look to see if our local market stocks them (they stock
most cheap addon things ..) ;-)

All the best ..
