Have you looked at the weight of it though? 6kg!

If you want a general purpose SDS drill on a budget I would expect
something like:

would be far more usable.

Yes, I bought a cheapo 6kg SDS drill (at a time when I had never used
SDS before, and was yet to be convinced of its benefits, and can confirm
it's very heavy to use for anything other than in 'breaker' mode, ie,
balanced vertically on its chisel bit. I'm waiting for it to break down
so I can replace it with a better and lighter model, but
(unfortunately!) it just keeps on going...
