That's a good price for an SDS drill - I never thought
Argos would do<BR>
them...!?!<BR>
Plus with the rotary stop function you can use tools
like these:<BR>

<BR>
which will allow you to do the job in no time - and
may even be a bit<BR>
tidier...?!?<BR>

&gt; The JCB from Argos seems to be fine, the extra
speed that can be found by<BR>
&gt; using an SDS is amazing, I did my 3rd room the
other weekend and put in 5<BR>
&gt; more sockets than the previous room and finished
(the messy bit anyway) in<BR>
&gt; half the time.<BR>
&gt;<BR>
&gt; PS a circular saw for cutting floor boards also
saves a lot of time<BR>
(unless<BR>
&gt; you're better at floor board lifting than me)<BR>

&gt; &gt; Having only used the cheap one, I don't know
how it compares, but Argos<BR>
&gt; &gt; carry an SDS Plus drill for around ?50 and
it seems to do the job, tho<BR>
the<BR>
&gt; &gt; roto stop still seems to drft a bit.<BR>

&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; What is and SDS / Rotary Stop
Drill?&nbsp; Does it stop quickly or<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; sommat.&nbsp; How is it
differnent to a normal hammer drill?<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt;<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; A normal 'percussion' hammer drill
isn't particularly effective at<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; drilling into hard materials like
concrete (it won't!).&nbsp; The SDS<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; variety have a sliding hammer that
strikes the end of the drill bit<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; - this means they WILL drill
through concrete!&nbsp; They also drill much<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; more quickly, as the sliding
hammer generates more energy.<BR>
&gt; &gt; &gt; &gt; I have <a

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