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). Basically an all rounder that'll last for 10 years.
The drills I'm looking at are the Bosch GBH 2-26DFR SDS which has an integrated quick change chuck for standard bit (pricey £179)
Or a Ni-CAD DeWalt cordless combi (£99'ish)
Or possibly an Impact drill like the Bosch GSB13RE which is only £69 and can drill 13mm holes into concrete.
The main thing is I need to be confident that it can handle masonry. I know the GBH 26DFR could do it but I've never used spare chuck and I'm worried about it being a faff. If someone can tell me that the combi or impact drill is up to it and will last for a decade I'll consider them.
Cheers
Sid
