which sds+

[saleem]

Hi.I want to buy sds plus rotary hammer corded one,which is going to be used for fixing and chiseling.Any recommendations.I was thing Hitachi as first choice and bosh as second.I have never used hitachi brand before.Both drills are same wattage and both priced same at £120.

Either will be a good choice, although I would choose the Bosch first, as I have experience with Bosch and know that it will do the job.

But Hitachi also have a good rep.

Toss a coin

id go for the bosch gbh sds range,my last 1 lasted over 10 years b4 the motor gave up the ghost and when i checked the brushes on it they were just about half worn.

bosch blue (pro.) legendary.

the rest are just pretenders.

A great drill for £124.95 is the Bosch GBH2-26DRE - http://www.toolstop.co.uk/bosch-gbh2-26-dre-2-kilo-rotary-hammer-with-sds-plus-holder-p260

Or, for less money you can still get the Bosch GBH2-18RE at £69.95 for 240V or £79.95 for 110V - http://www.toolstop.co.uk/bosch-gbh2-18re-18mm-sds-plus-drilling-machine-p255

Don't rule out a Makita. I've got an HR2450 and it's awesome. https://tools4trade.com/shop_productdetail.aspx?pid=24009

If it's drill, it's got to be blue and have 'Bosch' written on it.

... though come to think of it, I also have a Metabo which is very good indeed. And my favourite cordless screwdriver is a Makita. So maybe I was being a bit dogmatic.

i have a makita standard driver and an impact driver - very good.

when a power tool repair outlet tell you that bosch blue drills are indestructible and are the best built drills for the money, you tend to listen.

apparently, the brushes do wear out - after about 12 years of constant professional use.

they are built to drill holes and this they do extremely well.

I'm also looking for a sds drill (hopefully it's ok to tag on to here rather than start a new thread) but was looking for something cheaper and able to do some very occasional light chiseling.

This Ryobi looks good http://www.clearancebuys.co.uk/Ryobi-ERH-750V-710w-SDS-Rotary-Hammer-Drill-p-16690.html though I've not come across the company clearancebuys before.

Looks like a bargain. Go for it and tell us all what it's like.

It doesn't say "rotation stop", but I presume as it comes with "2 chisel pieces" it must have?

Does it have a Safety clutch?

Thanks
