Just ordered an SDS Plus drill the Ryobi ERH-750V.

I'll let you know how it is once I've tested it.

Can someone tell me the difference between SDS Plus and SDS Max?

SDS Max is a heavier duty system. Used on larger machines, generally for larger diameter holes and chisels.

The shank is similar to the sds plus, but also has extra groove.

Thanks guys. Just hadn't come across the 2 of them.

I think I'll find Plus more than able to deal with my needs, for now :wink:
