For what it's worth I've recently invested in a Li-ion Makita Combi drill http://www.combidrilldeals.co.uk/drills/makita-bhp453rftk-18v-combi-hammer-drill(cordless) and it's goes straight into concrete. Not quite as good as my Bosch Blue SDS but not bad

Hi fellas I've got to drill some 45mm holes into old stone farmhouse walls 500mm thick. I've got a good Bosch SDS plus drill (2kg). I know I can buy a 45mm core cutter for this but I've heard it will knacker my drill. I've got a fair few holes (10) to drill so I'm a bit concerned my drill...

Thanks guys - that pretty much confirmed my thinking. I'll go for another Bosch SDS. Probably the 2-26DFR.

Hi I'm looking for a new drill for my DIY projects. It's a replacement for my beloved Bosch SDS (worn out) and old Black and Becker wood drill (crap). I want a machine that's going to be able to tackle my granite-like housebricks (as well as general wood, steel and plastic drilling)...

I'm going to spend a bit more time looking at specific machines then I might come back for a second opinion. Cheers!

Hi I'm not in the trade but I'm keen to get a bit of professional advice on buying a mitre saw (I'm embarking on a serious decking and woodwork project). I'm going to need a mitre saw and although I've been to plenty of sites I'm a bit overwhelmed by the numbers of saws out there. What...

Bit of advice please anyone. I'm going to take the plunge and finally buy a cordless SDS drill. Everyone I know has got a 24V model – yet all the latest Li-Ion models are either 18V or 36V? How come 24V remains so popular if they're running with NiCAD or NiMH. Is it just a matter of...

I've had a Bosch GBH 2-18 RE for a good few years but you need to shop around to get it cheap. At Screwfix and Tooled up it's just over a ton http://www.screwfix.com/prods/58198/Power-Tools/SDS-Drills/BOSCH-GBH-2-18-2kg-110V-SDS-Plus-Drill There's a few to choose from here though...

Soons like I need to invest in a new 110V SDS drill Cheers again.

Cheers for the quick reply So it's usually tricky to get access to 240V supply?

Can anyone confirm this for me please: You can't use 240/3 drills/power tools on site. I've always worked privately up til now but have the chance of some site work and am weighing up the pros and cons... cheers

Totally agree. My SDS drill has been one of the best investments in my toolbag. If it's occasional usage you can rely on a lightweight i.e. 2KG SDS hammer drill decent brand - DeWalt, Bosch, Metabo. I bought mine after doing a bit of research online http://www.sdsdrillexpert.co.uk [/url]
