They were jus normal Makita drills, 110v about 2Kg not even sds.(I think) Roll Eyes

it wasn't me I was jus left to sort it Cry

I have a 2.5Kg Bosch sds but would like to get a 4Kg+ one if I can get a job with enough chasing for me to justify another new toy Roll Eyes

I reckon it would be a bit ott for a couple of holes for red rawl plugs tho. been thinking about a batterry one but not sure if that would be any good for a lot of chasing or just drilling?????????????????

gotta stop before i talk myself into buying more stuff that i can't afford at the moment

brown to red and blue to f****&&&&ommited!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The bosch drills are quite good, I am really happy with my 2kg 110V, however I must get some SDS grease for it asap as its drying out Roll Eyes

A more robust battery drill would be a nice addition now, prehaps a keyless 24v bosch Grin

But for channelling I need something that can really stick the boot in I reckon.

Bosch SDS 24VRE with a roto stop adaptor. It's good with a cranked channelling chisel or a flat chisel and copes ok with the Dash Chaser, but won't do the Box Sinker properly. I reckon next one will have to be bigger. The Bosch is great as a day to day drill. It came with 3 batteries and 6 bits for �290 two years ago, so they'd only come out then. Way cheaper now I believe.

dash chaser?? [/quote]

That's the boyo. Seems pricey there I got mine from www.sccdistribution.co.uk and they did the 3 batts 5 bits and the case etc .

TT it only comes in at about 2.5kg, so just lacks a wee bit for real 'head kicking' stuff.

I think it depends on whether they buy in a bundle at a huge discount and kit out their installers then shift the remainder via the web site. Will shout if I see any likely looking offers about.
