I gought one of those Titan things from Screwfix great drill but chucks dust in your face a the speed of sound !!!!!!!
I guess alright if not used in dusty area or near floor etc !

I got one of those DeWalt 2kg sds drills from Screwfix. Regularly use it with 1000mm long 30mm masonry drills through old stonework. Never missed a beat yet.

Mike but when you use a good drill you will feel the difference! It does do it, but not very quick and well, time is money

 

[johnnyplumb]

you need it tonight, if not, you cant go wrong with this tomorrow
Bosch GBH2-26 DRE 2-kilo 3-mode Rotary Hammer with SDS-Plus Fitting 240V

there not that far away from you

[mcniven]

Do u think those 2 kilos drills are big enough??

 

[mcniven]

Iv already got the dewalt sds 2kg from sfix just find it doesnt have a great performance to it good for 6mm masonry holes but not drillin blow offs etc

not quite sure, but think i got one of those as well from SF.
reckon it was £35.99 at the time. FIVE yrs now and still going strong. Saying that, I think I better get a replacement as its just a matter of time. Do have a Bosch corded drill that packs a punch though. So if the SDS fails, I'll just use the Bosch

My makita corded sds happily drills a 20mm hole and then follow up with a 30mm

HR2230 | Makita SDS+ Hammer Drill

Its only for upto 22mm but thats if you don't pilot it.

haha, buy cheap, buy twice
3 year warranty, you'll need it , some people never learn, haha

 

[mcniven]

Haha johnny , i had no option needed it for tmra AM

It looks robust enough & the good ones are £400+ the dewalts & makitas on sfix priced between £100-150 i already have they aint big enough

just get an sds max if your not happy with a sds plus. Most sds plus drills are fine for 5-15mm holes, if you need to bang out alot of 20-40mm hole get a sds max. the drill bits cost alot but you will not complain about there power, great for kangewin too.

this one will drill 52mm with standard drill bits.

 

[Ermintrude]

The hitachi one a screwfix is the best 2kg for money. I would always recommend sds max but it's expensive as already said!
