Great deal, extra heat for the SD card tag!

Would buy one if we didn't have a sds drill already, as it looks nice and compact and not too heavy. My dad own a 500 watt Wickes SDS drill (probably manufactured by AEG), It's more than man enough for most jobs, including sinking metal socket boxes, and our most of our walls are very tough and murder to drill with even a good non-pneumatic impact drill - I suspect the builders ran low on breeze blocks when they put up ours as there are lintels and really hard bricks used amongst the breeze blocks in the internal walls.

However, if you do want to use large core drills, or to break concrete then more power and SDS Max would be desirable. When I used it to break up a small area of concrete, it was hard going using chisels so I had to resort to using a sds drill bit to make lots of holes first, was awkward using a drill for that anyway as it is too low to the ground.

I used an early Bosch SDS drill in the 70s that my dad borrowed from a mate to put up a curtain rail because he didn't own a hammer drill, Fabulous bit of kit, drilled the lintel like it was made of soft cheese. Unfortunately we didn't realise that it wasn't your average impact drill, until time came to replace the rail, and his brand new impact drill couldn't drill deeper than the plaster.

Had an earlier version of this type about 10 years ago. It was excellent and was quite capable of going through masonry when using decent quality bits. If Bosch are still making to them to the same standard then this is very good.

Just brought it for putting up shelves, so should be ok

550w isnt that powerful, can get a vastly more powerful SDS drill from screwfix for less money and its a really good bit of kit.

Voted hot tho as price is excellent in comparison, and JL will price match as i looked at this deal last bank holiday but went for the titan from screwfix instead.

Great now I can drill everything

Before buying this make sure you understand what SDS is.....

This isn't a normal drill for normal drill and driver bits.

Always wanted a bosch drill

No click and collect, no home delivery so it looks like a trip to the store which is a shame as quidco is 7%

Is it just me, or does that drill look like a green AT-AT walking!!??

Some sites monitor the hits more then others so could be a cookie issue however item is definitely in stock - might be worth new tab ordering ( not through this link on here ) I think that'll sort out any issues :wink:

Tested to details checkout page & says instock.

Shows in stock, however Check out page says product not available :disappointed: anyone facing same issue?
