    Money saving forum ...... stay with original solution.



    How many cheap drill bits do you have to blunt/break before an SDS drill and a few decent bit becomes money saving?!

    Used to go through many cheapo bits a month...now have a SDS and the same bits for 2 years...Sometimes better VALUE is the more expensive option to begin with!

    Who :confused: suggested cheap drill bits ???


    REPEAT .. has the OP got a standard drill , suitable for 99% of home use.

    Spending more tp hang the curtains than they are worth!

    SDS drill is great for drilling into 'hard' concrete, just difficult to justify the cost in the standard home!

    It really is worth picking one up if you do plenty of DIY, they make life so much easier.

    The OP should ask around on a local message board to see if anyone has one for a short term loan.
