My SDS is really heavy and it doesn't have a clutch!

been doing many times with my 240v 2kg bosch sds. it works ok, got to be gentle, when your core cutter is straight in the hole then it works, when not the clutch with engage and you hear that you doing it wrong. have couple of breaks when drilling dont let your drill run too hot. you may need to use a chisel every now and then and break up some material inside the hole, makes it easier to drill when going deeper. old bricks and breeze block are easy to drill, when theres engineering bricks on the way it takes bit longer.
I use my little 2kg dewalt SDS drill as I don't find myself core cutting that often. It works fine for me. If you don't do them that often either then maybe get a cheap drill that will do the job, as well as other jobs.
Make sure that this "cheap drill" you buy has a clutch that will slip before your wrist gets broken!
