Highly recommend these for drill bits (spadoosh they might be the ones you're thinking of?). They were recommended to me and were like night and day vs a cheap old set I'd been trying to use for drilling masonry

Those are the best tile bits by far, tip though never use hammer action on tiles, yes a lot of people think they need the hammer action.0 -
To answer the question of why anyone would buy an SDS drill - I lived in a house built in 1930 and the bricks were so hard that hammer action on a standard mains drill or battery drill just didn't get anywhere.
I bought an SDS drill and all my problems were over. It also functions like a mini road drill when you put a chisel shaped bit in it and set it not to rotate0
