What I have is a Rawlplug Durium Rotary Masonary Drill bit which has a screw thread. This attaches to a Rawlplug Durium/Vibroto Extension Sleeve which is
23cm long, Catalogue No 83-502. I have two of these.I can add as many extensions sleeves as I like as each extension sleeve has both a male and female end. Works with my normal B&D hammer drill. Purchased in the mid 70s.

SDS Plus seems to indicate drills that can do rotation stop (i.e. hammer only) - but the terminology seems a bit vague between manufacturers!
Given that no-one here knows what "SDS" indicates, I should say most terminology used by the "experts" seems vague!

I remember someone here giving chapter and verse on what the initials stand for in German. A Google search should soon find it if you're really interested. IIRC, it refers to the keyless bit change idea rather than the hammer action - I have a Bosch jigsaw also labelled SDS. So Special Drill System it ain't.
This is pretty much the same drill that has been offered by B&Q, homebase and Argos all for around about £30, For occasional use I would say that its OK, the only drawback being that IIRC it weighs in at 5kg, which you will soon feel if you are using it a lot.
Its a little ironic that the e-bay offerings will probably work out more expensive once the P&P for this thing is added in :-)
