After listening to the positive views here about SDS drills I took the plunge and bought a Makita 2020X from Srewfix for £109.99. I read all the technical data from their list of drills but after I had it ordered, I noticed that I hadn't ordered the one at the same price which had Rotostop fitted (HR2450). Am I going to regret this even though I have no use for Rotostop at the present time as a DIY hobbyist at this time? Bill

Yes, Rotostop is very, very useful. Just call Screwfix and tell them you ordered the wrong one, I'm sure they'll be very helpful.
Yes you will. I use mine on rotostop more than half the time.
Christian.
I knew as soon as I re-read the specs that I had got it wrong. That what happens when you read too much data in a hurry. Thanks Bill

I can't believe a posh make like that would waste your time with a non stoppable SDS - you might like to suggest screwfix make it plainer on the ad,

Or HR2450X (with keyless chuck adapter and 10 Makita-brand bits 2 ea of=20
5.5, 6, 8mm, 4 ea of 7mm) which has a bit more power IIRC and is =A3115is= h=20 inc vat at lawson-his.co.ukHaven't used the rotostop yet, but the drill itself is very nice to use.
See if you can swap it for the 2450.
Roto stop is very useful - especially on the 2450 model since the speed control is so good, it makes the hammer action very controlable (some SDS drills are very "All or nothing" when hammering).
Phoned this morning and changed it for the 2450 - no problems. Thanks for your recommendations guys
