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.

I got some straight shank dewalt bits recently that have 3 flats ground into the shank - they’re great in my combi drill for plugs.
I had to drill a concrete lintel though recently and didn’t take my SDS to the job.
Got there in the end but each hole began to feel like a Guantanamo stress position torture.

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.
