Saves most home gamers buying an SDS
+1
I definitely feel that you only buy an SDS when you need an SDS. And you know pretty quickly when that is.
I reckon for DIY it's the sort of tool that only gets used for a short period or series of jobs anyway. Which is why going corded makes sense 90% of the time. Perfect eg, my dad got an SDS for us to drill holes for the shutter catches on their home in France. Other than that job I think it's only been used once or twice since.
Moreover I don't think I've ever really begrudged the size of my combi drill over a small drill driver. It's not the same as an impact driver where it pretty much has to be one handed most of the time.
Obv none of this applies to trades.

The "hammer" action on a combi drill is enough for 80% of DIY (hanging pictures/shelves etc). Saves most home gamers buying an SDS+
