The Kress is better value
http://www.kress-elektrik.de/en/prod...ct.php?id=1886 and a better
drill. A 610w version of this under the Wickes name is available for £80 at
a sakle with a 3 yr guarantee. I would prefer one of these to a Bosch.

Bargain - i've had one for about 3 years, such a versatile tool esp with the
interchangable chucks

Definitely - I've had one for about 4 years - done loads of heavy
work , apparently indestructible. Have chipped off acres of hard
render with it and drilled (diamond core bits) some 52mm holes through
24inch limestone. Best tool I ever bought and very versatile for quick
changes with the exchangeable chucks.
I originally bought it after seriously damaging my wrist chipping out
hard mortar from around window frames by hand with cold chisel. Should
have bought it sooner!

cheers

I've also had one for years and use it commercially day in day out. Like the
previous posters say they are virtually indestructible and will give you
many years of service, unlike other yellow ones (I've owned) I could
mention.

Also don't forget Bosch invented the SDS system.
