SDS and Screwfix

[George]

MrRum beat ya to it.

[John Rumm]

Fast, but nothing special as I said.

The TE72 (now replaced by the 76) is a 7kg beast in a different category altogether.

Decent power, but blinkin heavy and no reverse...

Not what the OP was looking for by a long shot.

Ah, moving focus again I see. You can drill 6.5mm masonry holes pretty damn fast with any SDS - couple of secs tops.

Hmmm.

Whatever. Hardly relevant though is it? Their 2kg class SDS drills are still "average".

[John Rumm]

Yes.

You may find some places that will bundle a conventional 3 jaw chuck as well.

[Doctor Drivel]

Matt, what don't you understand about a 5 year guarantee? How many years do you think it is?

[Doctor Drivel]

The key word is "fast".

The OP is not looking for £130 Makitas either.

Not as fast a Hilti non-SDS battery drill.

I would say above average and unbustable compared to the "popular" makes.

[The Medway Handyman]

Are you seriously suggesting that a Hilti non-SDS battery drill can outperfom an SDS drill? In what? Yorkshire Pudding?

What an arse.

[The Medway Handyman]

>>> So is this a good deal if I upped the money?

Isn't the Screwfix 'Site' machine the old 2450 in a different colour? If so, at £115 less the £10 voucher its very close to the EBAY deal of £90 + £10 postage.

Agree about the Wickes SDS, actually a superb machine. When I bought mine it was over £40 less than tha Makita, now its about the same I'd probably make a different purchasing decision. Can't knock the Wickes machine mind.

[Doctor Drivel]

Yes. It is clear you have not tried one or even heard of Hilti.

[Rod]

Drivel just quotes "masonry". I keep thinking there might be some difference between lightweight blocks and engineering bricks but they are obviously all the same to him.

Can you give me the link please MH. I cannot find it on the screwfix site. Thanks

[Doctor Drivel]

>>>>>>> So is this a good deal if I upped the money?

Go to your nearest Wickes branch. Two grey SDS drills in the Professional range - the 5 year guarantee jobs. One £90-£100, the other around £110.

The only dumbass is the one who recommends someone to buy something from a place that doesn't sell it.

I mentioned before - it does look *exactly* like the 2450, and Screwfix have in the past claimed they were made by Makita. What is unknown is if there have been any other changes. I would say there is a fair chance it is exactly the same.

[Andy Hall]

Wickes sell paint as well (of a kind). That's no more relevant than their private labelled power tool products to someone intending to shop at Screwfix.

[Samantha Booth]

John

Where are these on the Screwfix site? I cannot seem to find them.

[George]

[Samantha Booth]

Where is the DeWalt deal on Screwfix please?

[Samantha Booth]
