Nothing wrong with cheap drills, either of those would be fine for DIY.
The choice depends on what you’re going to be using it for.
If you’re mostly putting in plugs/fixings a 2kg drill is what you need, the extra weight of the ‘breaker’ rotary drill will be a total pain.
If you need to cut channels or do some heavier demolition get the bigger one.Check that whichever drill you get has 3 functions; drill, hammer drill, hammer.

That's a good point.
So maybe the
MAC ALLISTER MSRH600 2.6KG ELECTRIC SDS PLUS DRILL 220-240Vhttps://www.screwfix.com/p/mac-allister-msrh600-2-6kg-electric-sds-plus-drill-220-240v/994fy
For £50
Would be a better shout.
I'm buying it because I don't want to use my combi to drill loads of holes in a brick wall, and for the 6-9 holes I need to drill down through the concrete top caps - which I know otherwise will take ages.
My guess is 90% of future use will be drilling through things I don't want /can't use my combi for.
I guess a 2kg one will still do a bit of chasing if needed right?

Any thoughts on the cheapest functional SDS?
Deciding on renting vs buying.
