SDS Drill... WOOOF!

I eventually ordered the £99 special deal Bosch SDS drill form Screwfix, and also went for the £24.99 20 piece SDS drill bit kit that everyone I work with suggested would be crap. The blow moulded case they came in would suggest they are crap, but I have just (in the last 10 mins) given the drill and the bits thier first real challnge.I needed to drill a 16mm hold through our exterior wall into the kitchen, which is about 400mm of render, brick and blockwork. It is the same wall that my last non-SDS bosch drill died while drilling two weekends ago.Cut a long story short, it took about 45 seconds, applying minimal force to go all the way through the wall. No messin'If anyone is looking to buy a new drill and some bits, this combo totally gets my thumbs up!

Make that more like 270 quid. I don't think you'd get a mains SDS from Bosch for 70 quid.

Think of it in terms of the village idiot - harmless really but needs to be pelted with tomatoes occasionally to keep him in order.
