I'm setting up on my own, starting in April and am slowly collecting a few tools that I'll need. I've got all the usual stuff (hand tools, torch etc) and now I'm going to have to bite the bullet and splash out an a few of the dearer items.
I killed a cheap Erbauer 5kg SDS last year while building my extension / new kitchen (but I have to say, it did work its backside off) and want to replace it with something more robust and reliable. I found the 5kg a bit heavy for prolonged use (not much fun up a ladder!) and I can't see me doing much of the breaking / chiselling that it got used for so I was thinking of a 3kg drill.
I guess it'll be mainly used for general plumbing tasks - running pipework, coring for wastes / soils etc
I'm prepared to spend a bit on something decent that'll last and can be serviced. Any recommendations would be gratefully received - or would I be better off getting a core drill instead? I guess I won't really know until I start up, but some advice from you experienced guys would be good.
cheers
