If its DIY at home use the above, if its for work I would go for Hilti, you pay more but will get 5 times the ammount of use from them.

bosch were supposed to be good but not sure as i bought an sds powered drill and 18mm sds bit and the tip was all over the place,brought it back to where i bought it to check it out and they said cant !,so got replacement drill and another bit so was the bit faulty or the chuck.new one was better did not end up with a 24mm for coaxial cables.

Thats a good price, considering I got the same one from screwfix at a similar price a few months ago, but now screwfix is listing it at ?179.99p

The 1.3Ah batteries don't last long, but should be fine for a home DIY user.

I only bought it cos I inhereted some 2.4Ah Dewalt batteries that are compatable, and another old drill, but didn't have a charger.

I have bought the run of the mill Argos and B+Q cheapos in the past, but the batteries fail quick, so best go for summat like as suggested, at least you can buy parts for them.
