The Bosch Professional (blue) range of SDS drills are excellent. I
know of several people with the cordless versions and I have a corded
one myself.

At the price point of a decent SDS, I researched very carefully and
have not been disappointed by my choice.

Something with decent quality 3Ah NiMh batteries.... Blue Bosch, Makita,
possibly Hitachi as well. DeWalt may have something also.

I know many who give them a wide berth as I do. I have had problems with
every Bosch tool I have ever had and amounts to about 4 or 5. Never again.

You're really on a hiding to nothing given the power an SDS drill needs.
You're talking about something near 1 horsepower, so no practical battery
is going to last long under those conditions. So just go for a well known
quality brand and accept that it will need recharging regularly.

But an SDS drill needs _less_ power.

Assuming the problem is "makes holes in bricks with a battery", then
you've obviously got limitations that you're just going to have to live
with. But you'll get further with SDS than without it.

My two corded "hammer" drills are plated at about 1hp and 2hp (sic).
The SDS is the less powerful one, yet drills far better.

I'm after a battery SDS it must have a long battery life.

I was initially impressed with the 32 responses garnered in my absence.
Then I discovered it was flame war drivvel perpetrated by people who
have the mental clarity of geese.

Kindly snip your replies to the germaine, so that interested parties,
not engaged in petty tribalism, can read the message appended to the
otherwise long list of "which turkey posted what" gobblers;
allowing those of us who wish to know better, to click quickly past such
low melodrama.

I'm after a machine that I don't have to climb down several sets of
ladders to replace a battery every half hour. Should the drill with the
longest useful battery life fail to perform as intended it will go back
to the supplier for a refund, no hastle.

Now, grow up, or shut up.

Perhaps I aught to ask for a link to a trade discussion?

I'd gathered I was going to have to get something from the top. I dare
say it will boil down to weight and price, I will have to look for
something with 3 batteries.
