I do give them quite a hammering though and they eventually seem to bust when using a socket box sinking tool. Great bit of kit however my only negative comment I can give is that the push button on the side of the handle to keep the drill running without having to hold the trigger pops out on its own too easily which can mean constant stop starting when using it in hammer action to remove render etc. Great value for money, I’ve had my current one for five years with no problems and the one before that is a longer I’m always using it so it’s got a hard life and never skips complete.

I’ve abused them to bits by having them on constant hammer mode and using the armeg tri-cutter head but they stilll are going strong. Great value for money, I’ve had my current one for 5 years with no problems and the one before that for even longer I’m always using it so it’s got a hard life and never skips a beat. I deliberately went wired as I think SDS needs that extra umph that you can't get without spending mega bucks on a cordless. this was the first tool i ever brought ,over 20 years ago and it is still as good today as when i brought it . The SDS chuck is great, depth stop, additional handle and plus carry case are of great quality so a good addition.
