The Chuck looks like nothing I have seen before, so is it SDS?


No, it looks like a conventional keyless. Rohm make nice chucks as it
happens. The clues that it is not SDS, are the 51,000 blows per min
hammer action - SDS would be far fewer, and the high rotation speed -
most SDS drills run at 1200rpm or less. The blurb describing it as
suitable for chiseling also seems likely to be wrong.

The main clue for me was the line;

"With original 13mm Röhm keyless chuck"

The "2D" design ones (square flat layout with "wiggly" bulb on one side)
are nice because you can point it away from you and not have to stare
into / past the bulb.


I've had a couple of the 2D lights for a while, they only cost me
about £20 a piece and have been fantastic. Considering the abuse they
get I'm surprised at their ruggedness.
