ive tried those multi tool blades aswell. not very good like. even with the adaptor for a fein mm they dont work right.

having said that... i think ill go grab a set of those drill bits. im forever having to go off in search of my dad if i need a long drill bit and its a pain in the ass

I recommend against buying the dual-sided small parts container. Side covers locks' are very fragile and break quickly. Try finding another container with stronger plastic covers.

I agree with fin about the multi tool blades. One job and they're gone!

I picked up some of the mitre saw blades today, and the BIG demolition hammer I mentioned in my earlier post.( It was the last one, and as these were on special for £24.99 I'm not surprised! )

It's not the one shown in the Lidls web ad earlier in the thread, this one is a Parkside PBH1500 A1 a "right angle" breaker/ hammer. It comes in a blow moulded case with a chuck adaptor,3 SDS drills(8,10 and 12mm) and two chisels(pint and flat). There is a generous length of very heavy mains cable provided, (2x1.0mmsq), and when you consider this beast is 1500 watts it's a sensible choice.
The whole things looks good and feels quite robust, with large controls and trigger in a contrasting colour, which look as though they could be easily operated while wearing gloves.
It runs at a mere 700 RPM but packs a 5Joule punch 3900 times a second. Steel 13mm, wood 25mm,concrete 32mm.
The user manual doesn't state whether it has a safety clutch, so I don't know if it is suitable for core drilling.
Anyway, the Mem-Sahib was out when I got home so decided to have a quick play, and tried it out on an old hollow concrete block. The 12mm drill took about 4 seconds to get through 40mm of concrete!
The chisel worked well too, chiselling a neat channel, easily and quickly. It didn't vibrate that much(there seems to be some sort of shock absorber device built into the handle) and was averagely noisy. Since one should be wearing ear protection anyway I didn't consider this much of an issue.
I have a few jobs lined up for this one, (such as digging fence post holes and removing quarry tiles) so I'll report back with a more in depth test in the future.
Good value? Seeing as it was £24.99 and has a 3 year warranty I'd have been daft NOT to buy it!
If it breaks I'll just throw it away and buy a Makita!
