Hello all,
sorry for the slightly random question
I currently have a mostly decent and not that old standard corded JCB drill, it has hammer action, and I have probably about 20 bits to use with it, including wood, metal and masonry.
I have a garage roof to change out, which will involve a fair bit of drilling, and I also want to drill the concrete floor, firstly for some holes for some standard bolts - to help secure the up and over metal front door, and also to knock out a bit more as I want to put some ground anchors in to help secure some bicycles, and then concrete them in.
Other jobs I have coming up are removing a 50's fireplace, and I will need to remove tiles in both the bathroom and kitchen.
Now the drill and accessories that have caught my eye are these:

This that has glowing reviews:

And either this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bosch-SDS-Plus-Adapter-Drill-Chuck/dp/B0009W873Q/ref=pd_cp_diy_1
Or this:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001KIT64W/ref=pd_luc_arr_02_02
I am thinking the latter two as I gather this enables you to use your original drill bits with the SDS fitment.
The only thing that concerns me a bit is that I read somewhere that if you use one of the adaptors such as the two above, you then have no hammer option available - is that true??
Anyway, sorry for such a vague post, just trying to work out whether this would be £80 or so well spent or not.
Cheers
Dan
