has anyone used the hilti sfh 22-a?

[gap30]

just been offered one of these drills for £200 https://www.hilti.co.uk/holuk/page/module/product/prca_rangedetail.jsf?lang=en&nodeId=-374963

its not the hammer version https://www.hilti.co.uk/holuk/page/module/product/prca_rangedetail.jsf?lang=en&nodeId=-374962 but the guy reckons its fine for putting red plugs in walls etc when you cannot be bothered getting out the tranny and drill

gonna call into the local hilti centre tomorrow but can anyone recommend this drill?

ive only used one of the hammer action ones and even then it wasn't amazing at drilling into blocks it did it mind but no where near as good as a sds drill <te7a > and it has died a few times. Thank god for fleet management

not good

A solid bit of kit dont get me wrong! Put a screw on the end of it or drill a hole in wood with a 32 mm irwnn blue bit and its unbeatable.

agree with the above.I had one of them issued when iworkedon a power station, and as you can imagine, it had some abuse,drilling and tapping 10mm steel all day long. brilliant bit of kit, but not for drilling concrete.
