Which Cordless SDS ???

Easy answer tool vault for site, you can get them hired for £18 a week and 3 or 4 of you can share cost..

The OP will come back on here and tell us his budget is £50, think we've run with this . Though secretly hoping he has a huge budget

 

[Phil]

i remember an in law telling me i was stupid for spending 300+ quid on a drill before. take a look at this one i got from b&q for 30 quid and it`s more powerful than your`s. tell you what if i could get a drill for thirty quid that did the job i needed it for all well and good.think i will stick to my models though somehow

I am still toying with the idea of buying a Hilti TE 7-A but am struggling to find a way to hate the Bosch. Might put it on eBay and see what I can get towards the Hilti.

It's all your fault Pennywise, after seeing all those shiney red boxes in your van, my bluey green ones look so pathetic
Does anyone know where to get the best price or am I stuck with my quote from Hilti?

 

[Phil]

never been fortunate enough to use a hilti although my mate swears by them

 

[eskimo39]

I had a go with a plumbers a few weeks ago and it does seem to be very controlled. I always thought they were just overpriced by being exclusive but now really want one. He had a load of Hilti stuff on a service agreement which seemed great.... until I worked out how much he paid a year.

I can't really put my finger on what was better, but compared to my bosch, it just seemed better.

This looks like it could be a good price. (No relation or connection to seller)

HILTI TE 7-A 36V CORDLESS SDS DRILL/CHISEL on eBay (end time 11-Apr-10 12:20:07 BST)

Sorry m8, but once you start you can't stop collecting those red boxes , as for the TE 7-A I thought about getting it when I was buying the TE 6-A think it worked out about £100 more but couldn't really justify it as I didn't think a chisel function was worth having as would get through batteries too quickly. If I were you I would wait for an elex show near you, when I went to the one at sandown they had the TE 7-A on a show special think it worked out at £499 with one battery plus the Vat, One bit of advice at the elex shows when having a look around the stand try and spot the manager who usually isn't wearing uniform, they have the ultimate say with what discount you can get and they have the power to change the show specials etc, I got a TE 7-A battery for £100 including the Vat didn't need it but thought at that price I would

Ask the seller on ebay what the serial numbers are so you can cross reference it with Hilti and their details which will confirm its true owner.

 

[Phil]

i got some good bargains at the end of the last day of the elex everyone wants to shift that bit more and don`t want to have to load it back onto the van.

 

[stueelad]

Thanks for the advice guys, I was looking at the Bosch 36v, just wanted to see what everyone else was using.

Stuee - if you're still looking I'd definitely check out the 24V Hitachi cordless SDS. Decent price - not Li-ion but packs a real punch. See 24V SDS drills

 

[Round Man]

We have a Bosch 24v SDS with 2 x 2.0Ah NiCd batteries charger and case for £275 inc vat and UK Mainland dekivery
Will throw in a West voltage detector stick for anyone off the forum.

Had my Bosch 36v Li-on for 3 years and no problems, wouldn't do without it.
