Which SDS for general DIY?

Have a 1930's semi, which needs complete renovation.
Looking to get an SDS drill, for general work (whatever that may be), taking off plaster, drilling etc.

What do you think of the

Not used one of those but had one of these http://www.tools4trade.com/d-5902069-dewalt-d25013k-sds-plus-combi-hammer-3-mode-240-volt.aspx
ten years and has been fine for occasional use.

Good call on the Makita.

If you can get a decent second hand Hilti TE6 or 7 110v it would be well worth it.

I have a TE6a and 7a (36v battery), and I think they are some of the best available, although pricey, but its hilti at the end of the day. Always had a good rating.

I wouldn't touch a secondhand SDS drill, Hilti or no. It's one of those tools which is consistently hammered by everyone. I've had 20+ years of success (i.e. good performance, only one breakdown, a capacitor) with Bosch blue SDS drills. I've also been impressed with Maklta SDS+ drills when I've used hire kit. Another good SDS+ has to be the Metabo - mine was brilliant while it lasted (nicked!).

I've still got a second hand Bosch blue. I've had it 18 years. God knows how old it is.
