Which Cordless SDS ???

bosch all the way excellent bit of kit

Weve tried,Dewalt,Bosch,Panasonic and Makita but Hilti out lasts the lot. The only trouble is we have had them nicked several times out the back of the van whilst at work, so fed up buying brand new as they are silly money. For us the best way to buy them is in sections, we normally get the body from Ebay in the US and even with the postage it still works out a lot cheaper and then buy a charger and batteries from Ebay in the UK. You could be lucky and get the whole lot here at a good price.

Example:

HILTI 36V CORDLESS ROTARY HAMMER DRILL TE 6-A BODY - eBay (item 330412560734 end time Jul-08-10 00:54:44 PDT)

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

thats what ive got, does exactly what it says on the tin.

Hilti or blue bosch.

i have a Dewalt 24v which was not my preferred choice but was in urgent need on a weekend job, it was the only one in the last wholesalers that was open for the day.
I gotta say it has been ok, the batts are a bit ragged after 6 years, but i would still prefer the Makita, although Milwaukee is now my first choice.

 

[in got a clue]

im working on a site at the mo and there very big on hand vibration so i would check out wich you can use the longest so you dont get to meant points and i think your only aloud about 130 pionts a day i think the bosh was the best for that

As mentioned before, Bosch 36v. Awesome tool. Brutal as a 30 stone prison inmate who hasn't seen a woman in 5 years but, with practice, delicate enough to take the top off a hard boiled egg. OK, that bit's not true, but it is a solid, powerful bit of kit.

Pure poetry man. Best description of an SDS drill I've heard yet

Its got to be Hilti. You could try their anti-theft system where they link the drill to a keycard and if you dont swipe the card over the drill it wont work. Then if the thief takes it in to get fixed Hilti phone you up and ask if its been stolen. Ok they can still take it but theyll never be able to use it. Also the aftercare is first class. You get a maximum repair cost as well, which came in handy when i set mine on fire. 7 years old now and still gets used everyday.
