Depends what your using it for, m12 kit is brilliant and lightweight but if your needing any bugger than 8 or 10mm hole you'll need the m18. I have both and if I was to only have 1 I'd have the 18v kit it covers everything you'll need although the sds is considerably heavier.

Thanks, most of what I do Alarms and CCTV rarely need anything bigger than 10mm as the cables are not that thick. The only issue I found when I had my Milwaukee 18v SDS none Fuel was that it was really heavy and too big for general day to day work. It only helped when doing Fire Alarms which we don’t do much of. Plus the odd occasion you need to do 20mm holes.

An idea I have thought of is go with the 18v kit, I’m not sure if that one I have posted is the latest or the best model etc. Then buy a 12v SDS for the smaller jobs.

It is heavy to be carrying around especially when working off ladders and stuff the m12 sds is very handy for that

I may do that. Just get 18v then a 12v SDS separately. Because if I buy the 12v kit for example then get an 18v I would then need to get that as a kit. I would have three charges. Whereas the 18v has the rapid charger and can charge the 12v batteries. I’m not sure if that’s a good model, whether there is a better one?
