Well they are pretty good IMHO.

Noticed them in there today, only comes with the SDS chuck, not the
swappable keyless chuck, not quite sure why anyone would specifically
want a white one, though.

Yes, mine's an older model, but still going strong.

It's a special for kitchen use, cleaning pots ;-)

My SDS is one of those ancient DeWalt ones, which has been just great for
the things SDS do well. And I paid extra for a conventional chuck which
I've actually never found a use for. ;-) Of course if an SDS was your only
drill, it might be worth it. The problem being the add on chuck makes the
drill longer, and there is too much play for anything other than rough
work.

I've used the conventional chuck a few times, the 18V drill/driver copes
so with most tasks so is used more frequently, I *think* I know where my
old B&D mains one is. The one time it felt as though other drills would
have struggled was when using a 65mm holesaw in 40mm thick oak for desk
grommets.

At least the Makita chucks are exchangeable, rather than being a
chuck-in-chuck arrangement, but it still makes for a pretty long drill +
chuck + bit combo.

Yes. I only can be bothered getting the SDS out if lots of holes to drill
- or into something my cordless won't cope with anyway.

So on some the SDS chuck comes off and the 'normal' one replaces it? Is
this as rigid as a conventional drill?

Thin is if I wanted to use it for conventional drilling I'd have to
remember to take conventional drill bits to the job too. So might as well
bring a second drill. ;-)

Yes, the chucks slide onto a splined shaft and have a locking collar to
tighten them down.
