Just don't expect it to do anything to concrete. I showed my Bosch (2.2kg, 1.7J) to a post footing and I might have well been using a toothbrush. My neighbour took pity and slung his Milwaukee (11kg, 20J) over the fence and half an hour later I had a nice pile of rubble.
The smaller one is plenty for drilling into any substrate though.

I think on the off chance I need to do that I'll either rent a big daddy one, or buy another if it's a longer project.
I've also just thought one my neighbour on the other side may well have one. Although an SDS is great, they are big and I can't see it getting much use overall as my combi handles brick pretty well now I've realised I need to use higher torque and sharp bits. But who knows, maybe it'll see more use if it's in the shed.

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.
I guess a 2kg one will still do a bit of chasing if needed right?
