2kg SDS hammer drills - what to buy?

[Jchell]

Hi all, im about to buy a sds hammer drill as i have been using my 5kg for most things but its a bit awkward using such a large drill for small jobs. so, options. im currently looking at two drills, makita or milwaukee. im after any personal experiences you may have had with either drill, i would normally not hesitate to go with makita as i know they are good but i have read in some other posts about how milwaukee are better? so here are my 2 current options.

MAKITA HR2470 SDS+ 3 Mode Rotary Hammer Drill (NEW) | eBay
MILWAUKEE PH26X SDS 3 Mode Hammer Drill 240v 4002395236312 | eBay

is the milwaukee worth paying twice the price for ?

thanks all,

I have a dewalt which cost £80 on offer at screwfix which is probably comparible with the makita but only use it for heavy work,cant comment on the milwaukee as never owned any,at the £100 price range it will do most of the jobs you need it for.

If you have makita cordless I would go makita. They are/have brought out a new 36v sds that takes 2 18v batteries.

Im currently using the compact bl version.
