JCB 24V SDS cordless drill.

[keyplus90]

Can anyone tell me if these are reliable and powerful enough drill for a DIYer. I have seen JCB heavy road construcution machinery but did not know they make drills as well.

Thanks

To be honest here keyplus do you know what an sds drill is jcb sds drills are more than better for diy so I would well reccomend it.

Sorry but a 24v sds drill is more than adequate for the diy er
so yes buy it. and it is very cheap for a 24v sds

Thanks for all your helpful answers. Knobster - It is true that I am not familiar with SDS. Its only when I could not hang the curtains and my friend told me that I might have concrete gurder so normal hammer drill may not work. And he recommended SDS.

If your window has a concrete 'girder', (actually a pre-stressed concrete lintel), it's probably not a good idea to drill into it. Depending on what weight it's supporting, there's always the chance that the holes could weaken it enough to result in it cracking.

Thant is a very valid point Heathfield has made.................... Problem is that I have already bought the drill. Never mind there would be other places to use it. I am sure Mrs keyplus will find other tasks.
