Lidl Drill on Thursday - Any good?

[Dave Plowman (News)]

Pics and description mentions a chisel. Which means SDS - not hammer.

Indeed it does Dave, not whether it is SDS-Plus or SDS-Max however ;)

Not seen anything on sale new for ages that wasn't SDS plus. Not sure what SDS max is. ;-)

Sort of Kango-sized.

Ah. ;-)

It is SDS-plus Dave: "There are three standard sizes of SDS: SDS-plus (or SDSplus or SDS+), SDS-Top and SDS-max. SDS-plus is the most common by count of tools manufactured, with masonry drills from 5 mm diameter to 30 mm (and from 5/32" to 1-1/4") diameter ordinarily available. The shortest SDS-plus masonry drill bits are about 110 mm overall length, and the longest 1500 mm. SDS-max is more common for larger rotary hammers and chipping guns, and common sizes start at

1/2" diameter up to 1-3/4" diameter. Standard lengths are between 12"

- 21". SDS-Top has been largely phased out in North America and is not common except for older tools. Hilti's TE-S system is similar to these SDS systems, but is designed for chipping only (no rotation) in tools for applications larger than could be handled by SDS-Max (e.g. demolition of concrete walls or floors)" Ref:

Very pleased with it, put it to task today chipping off the mortar patches from the back of paving slabs and did a great job.
