Was going to also buy the Bosch 36v professional but for the cash, if I need more power, I'll use a 110v sds.
which makita was that? for some reason makita do about 3/4 18v sds+ drills.The Bosch 36V is more powerful than the 110V corded Makitas we have.
Granted the Makitas get the most abuse but for convenience you can't beat the Bosch.
We have 2, and they're beasts! They make 18V SDS drills look like childrens toys!
you need at least 2 batteries though.if you have a budget bosch 36v not let you down..but careful ..there its two models of them..one with 3 work option and other with 2 work option..prepare to spend over £500-600..
Bosch GBH36VFLI 36V Cordless li-ion SDS Plus Rotary Hammer Drill (1 x 4Ah Battery) with Quick Change Chuck (GBH-36-VFLI)
here its what i have on my van and im so hapy with them..

i havent had any problems with my 18v makita including chasing all day, drilling 16mm holes for rawl bolts etc, had a manufacturing fault on my drill and they replaced the motor etc no questions asked (the gear selector came off and some bits from inside fell off)
i cant find another case online of this happening so must have been a one off.
no issues with my makita gear other than that
it was bhr243 i think
the compact one (above) is a lot more powerful than the long version
talking about sds bits have you tried reisser quad tip bits?The best mains powered SDS I've ever had the pleasure of using was a spit 322, no matter how much abuse two of us could put it through it never missed a beat. I'm not sure exactly what the link is but spit and Bosch are somehow related. Their SDS drill bits were the best I've ever used too.

when you have tried them you wont go back for the larger sizes
? ive been drilling 16,22 and 30mm holes in concrete with my makita 18v sds. im not touching there corded then.I must agree with skelton
i had a makita 110v and it was fine for 6 to 10mm anchor holes.
anything bigger the torque limiter clutch kicked in too early and every holesaw and larger diameter hole became a task n a half
gave it to my brother and bought a 36v bosch
used it every day for four years and dropped it last year of a pair of steps and broke it.it was a good drill alright.
im using a metabo 28v Sds just now which is lighter than the Bosch and has much the same performance
over the years for corded Sds I rate Bosch ,hilti and Metabo.
bosch invented the special drilling system and licences it to everyone else
the Milwaukee drills are great, i was going to buy Milwaukee and the only reason i didnt was makita was a lot cheaper.I've just had the new Milwaukee fuel 18v sds and it's great for chasing out. Highest impact energy out there 4.3jouls also says it can drill 28mm holes but haven't tried that yet. Perfect to go with my other Milwaukee 18v tools and the 5Ah battery's have just come out so will last for ages.
