Robust construction for drilling and chiselling jobs. Features drill,
hammer and rotary stop, safety clutch, adjustable front handle and

soft
grip. SDS chisel, SDS point chisel, 3 x SDS drill bits, keyed chuck

and
adaptor supplied.
1250W
SDS Plus
Carry Case
£39.99

Looks OK for DIY, the rest look a bit expensive.


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.


That looks similar to the Power Craft Aldi SDS which is 900W and half the
price and a 3 yr guarantee.


I see that Screwfix have dropped the cheapie SDS drills. They did have a
couple of Ferm cheapies but They appear not to be sold anymore.
