dewalt sds drill

[blb]

I'm looking to buy an SDS drill, initially to facilitate chasing some pipe into a wall but also for future diy jobs. I found the following dewalt for sale which seems like very good value

SDS Drill

any opinions?

cheers

i would like to see you try chasing a wall with that one, it doesnt mention rotary stop

it does say
Ideal for drilling anchor and fixing holes into concrete and masonry from 4 to 22mm in diameter
Impact-stop for drilling in wood, steel, ceramic and screwdriving applications
Full wave electronic variable speed for total control in any application
Safety clutch eliminates sudden high-torque reaction should the bit jam
Ergonomic rubber coated pistol grip handle design for improved comfort in use
High drilling rate due to revolutionary motor design


but no mention of rotary stop (impact stop is not the same) now you know why its cheap

aha, cheers for that, could have been an expensive mistake!

blb, Try Makita, I have a 110V Makita (Not sure of model) and it's excellent.


780W motor, SDS chuck, came with Chuck Adaptor, has Hammer Stop, Roary Stop and full Hammer.

good quality drill and comes with chisel bit to get you started. THe rotary stop works great. Seems to handle concrete etc very well.

240v so no need for a tranny.
