PPPro drill

Hi all,I bought a PPPro 1200w mains drill for about =A355 yesterday. Yes, Iknow it's not a Makita, but for my level of DIY, PPPro has alwaysrepresented 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 kitfor =A330!However, they had an 850W SDS drill at around the same price. I knowthat a cheap SDS drill isn't light, but as I will use the drill/driverfor 90% of tasks, perhaps this isn't a problem. I also shied awayfrom it as I have no SDS bits.But now I'm thinking I should take the 1200w back and swap it for theSDS. I have to fit some metal back boxes in brick, and I'm thinkingthat joining the SDS club would be a good move, even at this pricepoint.I know it's all in the eye of the beholder, but opinions please?Should I do the swap?Antony

Hi Andy

These include such leading names as Ryobi®, Milwaukee® and AEG® power tools; DreBo® carbide drill bits®; Ryobi® and Homelite® outdoor power equipment; and Regina®, Royal®, Dirt Devil®, and Vax® floor care appliances.

Vax? I thought they were a UK company.

Used to be. Actually, they used to be made in Ireland by Digital Equipment Corporation.
