Quite a bit smaller than my 1500watt corded monster - but also considerably lighter - so very good for overhead work into concrete lintels and the like. Surprisingly powerful for such a lightweight machine (s/t 5ah battery as a minimum) and shorter for getting into tight spaces. Only gripe is that the support handle only fits into pre-determined slots, rather than being completely “grips- where-you-tighten-it” format.Good value compared with bigger machines.

As a joiner I use hammer drills on a regular basis. Delighted to have added this to my tool kit. Used numerous times over the past few days drilling stone, brick and concrete. Just as good as my colleagues twin 18v Makita, a lot lighter too. Does have limitations as it’ll only drill up to 17mm, can’t remember the last time I needed to drill more than that to be honest.

Needed a light weight hammer drill to use for short duration light use really small not much power but for normal concrete walls tiles and block work 6mm 7mm perfect I'm buying a bigger amp battery didn't get many holes out of 3amp battery but after using a 36v hammer drill which was too heavy for years its heaven for my type of work

When I got the SDS hammer drill I thought oh no I've made a mistake it's too small. I tried it on seat and drill 100 M14 holes at 150mm deep. I was amazed how much power for such a small piece of kit. The battery lasted amazingly well on it and very compact piece of kit. 100% recommend this amazing tool.

I am a Carpenter & Joiner and find this tool excellent for masonry plugs saves burning out your drill driver on hammer. Makes light work of anchoring eg studding: wall plates : door linings etc I don’t think that I’d recommend it for heavy duty work though . Core drilling etc.

As a Joiner and using tools daily i was a bit disappointed in the size when it arrived thinking it would be useless, how wrong was I. This drill is super-lightweight, and does an incredible job, 100% recommended, great value and worth every penny.

It's a great light weight hammer drill. Great for the DIYer and professional as it is easy to handle without being a strain on the arm. Only had it for a short time but have fallen in love with it.

Compact, powerful, light, with drill and hammer settings, good for wood & concrete, my new go to drill, fits easily into my bag to take up the scaffolding, works great with sds auger bits for wood

This is a great medium size drill and packs a lot of punch. It feels good to hold and use, not too heavy to hold in one hand when needed. I would recommend it.Dave from Preston.

Brilliant drill. Handy when it comes to drilling above your head, very light weight. Ok for drilling 5.5mm holes all day long. Something more powerful for bigger holes required.

Great drill upgraded to this one which is a different design but just feels like it lacks a bit of power compared to the older non brushless model other wise great tool

A cracking little SDS drill. Fits all my existing batteries. Not as powerful as my Bosch 24v but not as heavy either. Ideal drill for professional use.
