what drill?

True, the 18v Makita SDS can be had, body only, for around £120. Depends what you'll be doing with it whether it would be suitable or not though.

Good point, what type of jobs would a £120ish 18V sds not be up to ?
Could you use 100mm core bits and chase in concrete ? Would it eat the batteries too quick ?
What would you recommend. I was asking about a mates job last week, the agency said the client wanted you to have 110V or cordless.

The 18v is good for rawl plug holes and up to 32mm holes in breezeblocks and a bit of light chasing. It's a handy thing to have in the van but doesn't touch a corded one really.

If you are doing a lot of chasing mate then it would have to be a corded drill as Resu said. I've got the Bosch 36v cordless and it a cracking drill but the minute I have any heavy work to do then the Corded comes out, you will find your gear last's a lot longer that way.
