I'd file that need under 'the wildest of applications' along with the cat-flap in a solid wall self torture. Guessing that was going straight through an internal solid wall to route a cable of some kind? Straight through the chimney breast? You monster.

Yep - ^ absolutely no reason why a good battery powered drill cannot put a neat hole in masonry for all but the wildest applications. Just needs high quality bits (but when masonry, you always need a good bit)
If your walls are crumbly then downsize your bits or upsize your fittings. SDS or a corded drill will not fix that.
SDS is good for smashing plaster off your walls if you fancy it with the chiseling action.
