Hi guys, looking for recommendations for an SDS Plus Kango/Chipping Hammer/Rotostop drill. Currently have a Bosch Multidrill 4kg but it's playing up and although it doesn't get heavy use it's something I need to be working.

Was considering getting a cheap one to backup the Bosch, but tbh think the Bosch when repaired will be dropped into being the backup.

It's main use will be chipping out tracks (we chase in and use 20mm conduit this side of the pond)

What do you guys use, any recommendations?
 
I bought a B&Q own brand SDS hammer for I think about £45. It's a bit of a beast at chasing and cheap enough to replace if it blows up outside its 2 year warranty.
 
Hilti all the way, yes its expensive, but their quality is far superior to anything else on the market, and there customer service is second to none. My company has a couple dozen Hilti SDS Drills, most are at least fifteen years old and never been serviced, and they run sweet as the day they were bought.

Twinblade Grinder - not much dust when attached to a vacuum
 
I have been using an Argos £40 sds with 2 year warranty and have had it for last 5 years and hasn't missed a beat used for chipping out tracks. Doing it same way you are. Not the lightest drill but don't have to put much effort into the work then.
 
Had the lend of a Titan one, found it blooming horrible - ended up buying a couple of Makita's, a heavyish one and a 2kg one.
 
i have a makita 110V. can't say what weight till 'er indoors goes out so i can borrow the kitxhen scales,but it's not heavy and it does for me.
