advice on SDS drill

[barrata]

Hi all

Is this SDS drill from Lidl a reasonable deal? I'm thinking about getting an SDS drill and have seen some at screwfix. I'm only a weekend DIYer but have often thought I could do with an SDS rather than my Bosch Hammer drill for some jobs.

It should be better that your regualr hammer drill, so I say "go for it". As long as you don't expect too much. If it's no good, take it back and tell em so. You've nothing really to lose.

for less than £40 with a three year warranty, you shouldnt really be asking should you? just go and buy it then tell us all exactly how good or bad it is.
