["Stephen Jones" <ukha@xxxxxxx>]

Someone a while back posted the link to the cheap SDS+ drill sold by
Screwfix. Well here=92s another cheapo make, this time being sold by Lidl
for around =A350 =96

it doesn=92t actually state that it=92s a SDS+ drill, but going by the
picture on the paper flyer (not the pictures on the web-site), it takes
SDS bits, and as it states that it=92s suitable for chiseling, then I
presume it=92s an SDS+.

The Screwfix model is only 620w, whereas this one is 900w. Similarly the
max revs are 750 and 1100 respectively, and the max blows per min are
2920 and 5800 respectively. Should do for occasional use me thinks.

Oddly enough, the Lidl web-site states that it=92s =A349.99, but the NI
flyer states =A355.00, and most of the other offer items are a pound or
two dearer as well! So it=92s not just the P&P costs are higher for
those
living in Northern Ireland, even buying stuff locally from large
national retailers costs more!!
