SDS no-hammer-stop fans may also want to note that Lawson-His, at
www.lawson-his.co.uk, are selling a no-roto-stop Atlas-Copco PFH202 at
the silly price of 80quid+VAT. (Seems to be a generally-being-discontinued
model, as a number of other webshops seem to be clearing them out at
similar deep discounts). The roto-stop models at Lawson-His are to be
found in their PowerTools-HammerDrills-SDSChiselDrills section, and
start at 75+VAT for a BoschBlue jobbie, or 100+VAT for a Makita HR2450X.

It certainly seems that the availability of the 30quid "I Can't Believe
It's An SDS" models has driven prices of usefully beefier and better-made
brands down by some 20-30% over the last couple of years; mayhap without
affecting build quality *too* badly!
