DongCheng 1 Inch SDS-PLUS 6.7AMP Corded Rotary Hammer Drill for Concrete/Masonry with 4pcs SDS Plus Drill Bits

I only needed to drill a single hole so took a chance with this as it was so cheap. It is solidly built and has some serious power. I can’t speak for its longevity yet, but the hammer action is excellent and it made extremely light work of an exterior wall made of CMU & red brick. The inclusion of spare brushes for the motor is a nice addition - hopefully the rest of it will last long enough for them to be needed.

Very impressed for use around a house with clinker block walls. I bought this to drill into a wall, on the side of the house, to attach a CCTV camera (not through the wall, just enough to take Rawl plugs) and it was like a knife cutting through butter. I had tried another fairly substantial drill but really struggled to get past a few mm. I did some research and found out what I thought was reinforced concrete is just clinker blocks. Tough as hell but not impossible. I had noticed the black dust on the side and this was the key. Being up a ladder, I didn't want to use all my force, or weight, pushing into the wall. This on the drill/hammer dual setting went in with very little force on my part. Game changer. This is the big gun in my DIY arsenal. Quality is decent, ease or use is decent and the price is great.

Good quality and does the job.

This goes through brick like a knife through butter. Together with a couple of long sds bits I had no trouble drilling through a double wall to install outdoor lighting. Very much recommended. Only slight niggle is the speed control trigger looks very thin and weak so may not last long.

Brilliant and worth the money

Perfectly good drill v happy

Only needed it for one hole, so this is ideal. It did the job and has 5 year warranty

This SDS drill works well considering the budget, but it's not hard to spot differences between this and a more professional tool. Operationally it's doing the job fine, and the included drill bits have no problems drilling into solid stone in my wall which is great. I've also been using it to remove plaster and concrete with chisel bits and it works equally well for that, and so much faster than a hammer and bolster. The durability is probably my only minor worry with it. It's good spare brushes were included, but some of the plastic feels a bit brittle to me, and I feel like the forward / reverse switch will snap off at some point, it is quite thin and sits really low instead of being up against the drill body. Some more rigidity and better ergonomics would have been good, but I don't expect to have any problems with careful use. Value seems fairly comparable to a similar lower end SDS drill I can pick up from my local trade supplier, so for the delivery convenience it seems like a good enough option for the home or DIY user.
