they just do it, I have an ancient te60 that I rescued from a hire company
junk sale, it had suffered massive abuse after years of hire, all the (few)
parts I needed were easy to get, and it works as new again, there is no
effort involved, apart from physically picking it up. for domestic stuff a
te17 would be more suitable.

thanks for your reply, I was offered a TE 24 or 25 at a pretty low
price, not sure if i should take it. whats the characteristic of an
hilti? They seem incredibly hard hitting. I need a tool for small 5 - 6
mm holes in concrete. Sometimes 13 mm holes but rarely. using a
Bosch sds now.

Hilti are the best drills know to mankind if it's a low price and all in
good working order, grab it.

thanks for the advise, I finally got it. came with quite a few drill
bits but only the smallest at 6 mm bit was more suitable for me. The
remaining are just too huge for me. was wondering if it would drill a 5
mm bit ok.

A little overkill for me now, but probably find some use for it next
time.

The small drill bits that i use are cheap, maybe in this part of the
world where I stay. They cost about 2 - 2.5 quids each.
