&gt; &gt;<BR>
&gt; &gt; A normal 'percussion' hammer drill isn't
particularly effective at<BR>
&gt; &gt; drilling into hard materials like concrete
(it won't!).&nbsp; The SDS<BR>
&gt; &gt; variety have a sliding hammer that strikes
the end of the drill bit<BR>
&gt; &gt; - this means they WILL drill through
concrete!&nbsp; They also drill much<BR>
&gt; &gt; more quickly, as the sliding hammer
generates more energy.<BR>
&gt; &gt; I have <a

Only the<BR>
&gt; &gt; mains DeWalt one has rotary stop.<BR>
&gt;<BR>
&gt; So looks like I need to save up some money for a
proper drill<BR>
&gt; rather than my<BR>
&gt; 2 year old 50 quid black decker.&nbsp; The last
lot of wall chassing I did<BR>
&gt; managed to kill my drill, it sucked in loads of
the wall dust and<BR>
&gt; frooze up.<BR>
&gt; But luckily it was still within its two year
waranty so with a<BR>
&gt; lot of hassel<BR>
&gt; managed to get it replaced for a new one of the
same model.&nbsp; So I<BR>
&gt; think I'll<BR>
&gt; be able to persuade SWMBO that as I've not PAID
for a drill for 2<BR>
&gt; years its<BR>
&gt; time to buy a nice new expensive one.<BR>
