Best drill I have ever used
First of all I am a rubbish DIY’er. Having moved into a house that was built around 1865 and was owned by an elderly couple there is sadly a lot of DIY needed. Putting up shelves, curtain rails and taking tiles off the walls to name a few.
My old power drill is about 25 years and is pretty rubbish, it has a hammer drill setting but that is as fancy as it gets. My wife persuaded me to invest in a new drill. I was reluctant to spend another handful of cash on something I already owned, I mean, how different can a new drill be?
Well…… It is as different as my old van to Lewis Hamilton’s racing car! They will both get you from A to B but the Lewis’s car will get you there a touch faster and make your life a whole lot more fun in the process.
This drill first of all has a trigger control to start it slowly, squeeze harder and it goes faster so it means an idiot like me can actually make a hole where it is meant to be and not have the drill bit slide off to somewhere it wants to make a hole.
Secondly, it has power, I mean real punch through this brick, stone or cement like it is soft cheeses. Changing the drill bits is easy, apparently it is because they are SDS ( I had no idea what that actually meant).
Overall, I could not be happier with this, well yes I could, it could be shiny! But quite seriously, this is one good drill, it makes light of any drilling jobs we have, I have taken tiles off a loo wall and then looked for more destruction to reap.
Only thing is, you REALLY need ear defenders, it is noisy otherwise it is bloody brilliant.

powerful and solid tool
After burning out my dewalt SDS drilling sleepers for fixing (13mm rail pins) so a 6mm hole then a 13mm hole through old sleepers.
This was so much more able to drive the auger bits through, making everything faster and there was no drill overheating.
Used as a brick breaker, and this was less vibrations coming compared to the old SDS
