bosh sds?

[Patto]

hi guys & girls, i know this will have been covered before but i cant find the answer im looking for, i need a cordless sds for putting in some 10mm holes for signs to be bolted down, my company wont spend a fortune but they will pay the £350. for a 36v bosh but its only a 1.3ah it does come with 2 batts though anybody have this model? and how do you find the life of the batts? im not looking to hammer 100's of 10mm holes all day everyday but i would need a dozen or so a day it would mainly be used for red plugs :shades_smile:

normally use makita combi for plugs.

if i need to drill deep ill grab sds drill though as combi bit is only 3" long or so.


if your not using it for chasing an 18v is fine for 10mm holes.

was drilling 16mm into concrete the other day and it was fine (makita 18v sds)


stick to the one you have batteries for. if you have any 18v makita gear you can use two of the batteries in the 36v sds drill using there adapter.

the bosch 36v sds is good, you can use it all day for chasing and abuse it and it will keep on running.


better to go for the 3amp batteries though. the 1.5 should be ok though

i have a makita drill but its an old ni cad jobbie, also have a corded bosh sds thats great just not portable lol, i need the sds cordless mainly to bang some 10-12 mm holes in concrete ill be doing no chasing with it my corded will do that, makita is an option but there budget is £350 maybe get a better deal going 18v makita

think the 12v may put me off a little, does the voltage not give it the grunt..

We use a 18V Bosch cordless SDS drill at work for drilling holes for 10 & 12mm raw bolts, it will do it all day long as long as you have a good drill bit and a few spare batts.

Cool i think that the 36v 1.3 is the one for me then, although im liking the makita one above to lol decisions decisions

Has anyone seen the 5.2 ah 18v metabo SDS yet? There is a video of it on toolstop. 3 year warranty too. No roto stop but looks good if all you want it for is for fixings.

not that bad really, i paid 350 odd for one with my brushless makita. but then i got 2 batteries already

looks like it might be the makita 18v 3ah as the bosh one seems to be discontiued

 

[londonfire]

I have the brushless makita 18v sds already so i wont be going for a metabo. Can fully back the makita. Will put 20mm bits through most stuff.
