So, as a chap with more experience in such things as myself you'd suggest a proper SDS drill? I am getting sick of taking 4 attempts to drill every hole in my crumbly brick.

So, crumbly brick is always a pain to work with - that is unavoidable in this instance. However, a better powered drill motor, with a much heavier duty hammering action will be easier to use.
I'm assuming that when using your green Bosch, you're having to rag it quite hard to drill your holes, which won't help with the quality of hole you end up with. Instead with a dedicated SDS, you'll use it much more gingerly, and with new bits the whole drilling procedure is likely to go smoother.
I've got a half decent Makita combi drill, but I'd never use it for masonry if I have any kinda of access to an SDS drill.

We only use the SDS for drilling holes through walls now, the battery guns are very powerful compared to what they use to be and as i said they only issue I have with the milwaukees is the battery ones are loud as fuck

It is nice getting your drill out knowing it's powerful enough to put a neat hole in any wall. I've got a Makita SDS and it's way more firepower than I need but on the other hand I won't run into any power issues either.

Still, the job would be easier with a better tool. A dedicated SDS drill will make the whole process quicker and more straightforward.
