Hi all,
I bought a PPPro 1200w mains drill for about =A355 yesterday. Yes, I know it's not a Makita, but for my level of DIY, PPPro has always represented good value. It was bought to replace an old B&D 450w POS, and to complement a PPPro 12V drill/driver which is a good bit of kit for =A330!
However, they had an 850W SDS drill at around the same price. I know that a cheap SDS drill isn't light, but as I will use the drill/driver for 90% of tasks, perhaps this isn't a problem. I also shied away from it as I have no SDS bits.
But now I'm thinking I should take the 1200w back and swap it for the SDS. I have to fit some metal back boxes in brick, and I'm thinking that joining the SDS club would be a good move, even at this price point.
I know it's all in the eye of the beholder, but opinions please? Should I do the swap?
