Drill Wobble?

I did send it back - and it was stolen in the post. I've now had a refund in full from the carrier, and all is well. I bought a Makita percussion drill instead, and it doesn't wobble like that at all.

It wouldn't, a percussion drill doesn't work the same way. :)

Yep, that's why I went for that. I only took the SDS Hammer drill because it was available at the same price as a percussion. I thought I was getting an added extra, rather than either a drill that can be made to be a normal drill, but works badly.

I'll never really know if it was faulty or not... most people say yes, some say no.

I guess it doesn't matter now!

An SDS is a drill for a specific purpose, yes.

There are some which can be properly converted to work as a normal drill, they're very expensive (Bosch do a few, mostly high end cordless). An SDS is a great tool to have, but not the only tool to have.

Yeah we use the GBH 2-26 DFR now superceded by the GBH 2-28 DFV.
Quality drills and wobble the same as the op's drill in sds mode.
Not much change out of £200 quid for these machines.

Or £500 for the 36V cordless version!
