Shanky I'm sure you would of seen or used one of these, what do you think?
i havent tried the 36v version.

the 18v is nearly on par with the bosch 36v with regards to power (battery lasts half as long)

if i recall the makita is slightly bigger than the bosch. (i will get the 36v when it comes time to replace my 18v)

i have used the 18v for removing bricks etc to get a lintle in for a doorway and it went through easily, the bosch seems to have a slightly lower impact when chiselling.

the bosch was a lot older so it might be unfair of me to say the makita is more powerful as it might be weaker because of its age (wear and tear)

ill take some pictures when im next in tw of it if you like? (they have bosch,dewalt,milwaukee and makita all on the shelf to pick up and get a feel)
 
I've got the latest bosch 18v ec brushless sds and it has more power than the non ec brushless, its has more power but is heavier than the makita lxt. Not tried the makita with 2 18v batterys
 
not had any experience with the current generation of cordless drills, but have had earlier 24V bosch, hitachi, dewalt and, currently, makita 24V. the makita knocks all the rest into touch.

how often will you need to use it? Would renting one from a tool hire place be more cost effictive... and might give you an idea of good brands...
