CPC SDS drill

Is this likely to be any good: 33 quid. Another website says it's 3.6kg, so not quite the usual cheapo SDS lump. I don't have an urgent need for an SDS as such, but my current mains drill decided to emit smoke from its windings so it's probably on borrowed time. It's only for occasional use where an SDS night come in handy. Theo

My Lidl one is about 4 - 5 years old. Not a lot of use, but happy with 25mm through the wall and also a 117mm core drill. The clutch seemed about right

- I had to finish a cm or so from the ladder outside and was confident enough to use it with one hand.

SDS bits in the box.

I have a Bosch 12V SDS, so yes, the battery/motor combo even in the

90s was capable of driving it. The original NiCad 1.3Ah batteries would drill 6 or 8 14mm holes for Rawlbolts per charge; many more 8mm holes and countless screws.
