When I last bought an SDS drill it was easy - I bought the cheapest I could
find from Wickes at £99. Other makes cost twice that.

After seven years of abuse it is now working intermittently, so I have
decided to replace it.

Things are not so simple now.

There are ultra-cheap makes, less than £40.
The better manufacturers are now producing cheaper models - e.g. Bosch and
Makita for under £100.
There are still the horrendously expensive professional models.

It is only for DIY use - drilling, channelling, electrical back boxes,
taking down the odd wall, etc., but I want something that will last me
another seven years.

What are the current recommendations on the mid-range drills - e.g. around
the £100 mark?
Any good deals around?
