I picked a dewalt sds up from screwfix for £99.99 and got a free cordless 12v drill free just because it was an older model.I cant fault mine hasnt failed me yet!

We have a couple of those SDS drills. More or less treat them as disposable items. When they burn out or get stolen we just buy a new one. Dont expect Dewalt or Makita performance or reliability and can be tiring on the hands. Overall for the money you cant go wrong.

I bought one of these the other day hasn't let me down yet, lifted a tiled kitchen floor in minutes, quite a heavy drill though. (used the Armeg chisel).

Yes I have a Ferm SDS bought from Srewfix several years ago, it was a cheap brand they used to stock, cost about £30 and had a two year warranty. It hasn't had a lot of use but has performed well and I have just removed a tile floor and cleaned up the old cement/grout with it.

I got a set of bits of e-bay, Blackspur brand, consisiting of a gouge, spike, chisel, electrians chisel and a 80mm tile chisel for 13.96 in P&P. The company was tooltime.

It depends on the use you expect to give the kit. If its going to be heavy usage on a regular basis its probably worth buying something upmarket, if the use is low a cheap one will last a fair while and anyway if you have expensive stuff and it fails after the normal one year warranty I'd be pretty gutted.

How do you get 20% off at B&Q? I can only get my Wednesday old git discount.

Wickes do a range of power tool woth 1, 3 & 5 year warranties, has anybody an experience of their kit and more importantly how good the warranty is if things do go wrong?

I have an SDS drill that someone can have for free if they collect it. I am in the West Midlands. Don't get too excited because it is only an old B&Q one but it is in perfect working order.

You have my sympathy doing stuff for her in doors, give me a paying client anyday - they are more appreciative. Currently have given in after 5 years of "hints" to do a complete replacement of the kitchen and utility including tile the floor of both right through plus the hall about 35M2 in total. Started on the hall this afternoon and after laying about 4m she pocked her head round the door and said " the corner of that one isn't level with the others" must have been nearly 2mm out!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
