I do have a set of the 1m SDS bits from Aldi, couldn't resist the price, about £8 I think for the set of 3.
No idea if i'll ever use them.
I am not a pro.

Triton SDS Drill

Post by headey »

Needing to chisel out some cement, I investigated hiring an SDS drill and discovered the Triton 5kg from Screwfix was actually cheaper. So, if it broke down on second use, I'd still broken even. Forgotten how many years it was. Of course, I've not used it heavily, but it's been invaluable when I did need it and it's still going strong.

Surely a man of your esteem would have his tools delivered from Harrods :scratch:
