Can't go wrong with the Makita HR2470 for light work including small core bit drilling. I'm on my second one but only after lending out and losing my previous 12 year old one. Get one for around £95 if you look around, you'll never look back trust me!

they have ''got rights'' these days as they tell me,nothing beats sodomising the apprentice before dinner,its a ''power thing'' i am not gay
 
I wonder if its possible one day to buy a really small compact 10.8V SDS drill for taking up ladders for 7mm holes...obviously not for 30mm holes but just to save you having a huge drill to content with just to fix up brackets.

I'd buy that.
 
hmmm, reduced power i guess ?

i'll be grabbing one after xmas, i too dislike taking a chunky sds up to fix clips !!
i take the 12v impact up with me too.
that couple of pounds of weight makes a huge difference when you're up a ladder.
i think it will be a good little tool for most things, most of the holes we drill are 10mm and under for fixings anyway.
it's only when you want to do bigger holes for pipes ect ect.

not to mention i have an SDS to hex bit so could use it for spade bits aswell or even screw driving

How did you kill your drill 1king55?? can it not be mended?
 
it was on it's way out anyway and then i hit a cable. tis out of warranty so i'll give it to my friend and see if he can fix it.
 
Gas said:
I bought this from TS not long ago, it is a load of rubbish, a combi on hammer is faster and if you have any other cordless SDS drills, you will never use it. I sold mine 5 days later on ebay with one of the batteries for £205 + delivery, so only paid what i would have anyway for one of the 4ah batteries, which are brilliant on the other gear.

I think Gas has just ruined your Christmas 1king55......
 
At least go try it first, i assumed it would be good because the rest of the stuff is. Up a ladder just use existing 18v SDS and clip it into a carabiner, 12v impact in side pocket.

oh the first 12 sds isn't the best.
i had a go on the 12v fuel sds which is far far better

that's the one i'll get :)
 
It is still only a a couple of kg's difference between them though , but the 18v will do a 7mm in seconds, where as the 12v takes 10s of seconds. Net result = takes longer, tires you out just as much, doesn't have rotostop and costs you several hundred quid.

That is my experience anyway, but i havn't use the new ones, I just don't think there is enough physical weight behind it to be effective.
 
I have a different drill for every screw, but stick to old faithful and the rest just live in mmilwaukiee van vault laughing at me !
 
got to take my 3 month old sds Makita hr260 back tomorrow the clutch has gone - I have only drilled 7mm holes in brick and 22mm in wood with spade bit - not happy.thinking about the hitachi in screw fix £100 until I get mine back

What is correct toilet supply line
Hi. I need a new toilet supply line but don’t know the size type of the fitting at the shut off valve. It is not 3/8 compression. It is a plastic nut about the same size as the one going into the cistern but has a different thread. Attached is a photo. Can you advise. Thanks.

Extending outdoor tap and drain
Hello all, I'm would like to extend an existing outside tap to another point in the garden. I'm about to pour a concrete patio and was hoping to run the water line underneath. There are existing drain (and who knows what) pipes running along the same wall so I'm nervous about digging too far...
