I guess a 2kg one will still do a bit of chasing if needed right?
Absolutely.
I use my (Metabo) 2kg for all kinds of shit, stripping tile, chasing pipes and cables. Core drilling etc. Wayyyy beyond its capacity.
I have a Chuck adapter (indispensable) to use straight bits and an SDS arbor for holesaws etc.
That drill is a total workhorse.
That's a good point.
So maybe the
MAC ALLISTER MSRH600 2.6KG ELECTRIC SDS PLUS DRILL 220-240V
https://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.
