Any reason you're going for a light SDS? My theory was that I'm only going to be using it for hefty stuff so may as well buy a hefty one.

Having a massive heavy tool when you’ve got to use it one armed up a ladder is a nightmare, so there’s plenty reason to want something that suits it’s duty.
I’ve been after a 12v drill and impact driver for that reason for ages, as if I’m doing loads of overhead work, the beastly 18v combi gets a bit heavy!

Right now I only need it to drill loads of holes through concrete wall caps(?). So something super heavy seems unnecessary. Plus when I borrowed my mates cordless Makita it was (I guess) a 2-3kg one, and that was perfectly suitable for loads of stuff. Even then it was still too big for getting into tight spots in our broom cupboard thing, so I imagine something bigger would be worse. And other than the wall caps and fence posts we don't have concrete in our place.
If I do need something to do serious chasing, then I reckon I'd just get one of those cheap Titans from Screwfix as £/kg/joules they're the best value.
@konastab01 - cheers. I'll check it out.
Umming and ahhing whether I should just go for the cheapest dewalt cordless. I think they generally come with 4Ah batteries, and have read reviews suggesting a 9Ah battery. I've only got two little batteries, so while buying a bigger battery would obviously mean I then own a bigger battery, it also changes the cost. Then again idk if it's one of those trades reviews which isn't that applicable to DIY.

Before I get locked in, has anyone seen any good deals on a lightish / ~3kg SDS?
Sub£100, ideally with some bits.
Cheers.
(have dewalt batteries, but perfectly happy with corded)
