Hi all
I'm up for buying an SDS drill as I recently had to drill some 20mm holes in brick and clinker block and my Green Bosch hammer drill didn't do too well.
I'm willing to spend around £100 and having read good reports on here and other forums about both Blue Bosch and Titan, am torn between getting a:
Blue Bosch GBH2-26-DRE
(2kg 800w motor 3J energy
(Comes with nothing so will want to buy bits and an adapter to use non-SDS bits)
http://www.powertoolworld.co.uk/bos...xVEwZbWj2eMVtYXsmxgfd4XpH1Xh5xwx1AaAk358P8HAQ
And one of the Screwfix Titan jobbies where my budget will stretch to a larger model (Titan TTB631SDS)
5kg, 1500w motor, 8j energy
Comes with carry case, bits and adapter BUT is a lot heavier (about double)
http://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb631sds-5kg-sds-plus-hammer-drill-230-240v/4172g
My main essentials are to be able to drill normal DIY holes in brick and block very accurately (for fixings) and particularly to be able to do this up to 20/22mm
The roto-stop and hammer-only for chiselling aren't important to me right now but would ideally like the option in the future as who knows what DIY is on the horizon!
Both seem to have:
Safety clutch
Roto stop
Variable speed
Excellent warranty
Any thought from anyone who has tried both or similar?
Is Bosch worth sacrificing the grunt of the Titan
Will the grunt on the Titan help me drill perfect holes as I have to use less pressure or will it's weight and maybe lower quality alignment make the holes less than that?
Thanks for any advice
