does the chiosel piece spin on this drill? I have a drill and can also switch it to a hammer symbol but it still spins???

 

[Gazzer]

No it doesnt spin on a SDS

 

[Mr T]

ok sorted

 

[White Room]

A spinning chisel....that could get messy.

 

[Mr T]

I didn't think that would be the case I just thought id ask incase I go and buy what I already have lol

You need a 3 function SDS drill with rotary stop, drill/hammer drill/chisel, not a 2 function one. And a spade/tile lifting bit. That'll fly through the job.

 

[Mr T]

will be purchasing that one in the link tmoz... anybody know of any cheaper of same quality? thanks guys

This is cheaper and will do the job but cheap and good quality dont always go hand in hand.

Lol!!

That'll be a hammer drill then mate. SDS usually have a hammer only setting, drill only setting and a combinaton setting. A bit beefier than a normal hammer drill as well.
I picked up a ryobi one not too long back pretty cheap. Google ryobi direct. Screwfix have a cheap set of SDS bits as well for aroun 30 quid. Couple of chisles and a few drill bits in there. They're lasting pretty well too.

I think one day you should progress to getting the kit.. but for now, if you're just taking up your bathroom tiles - I think you should use your hammer and chisel and your muscles for the time being. You'll be alright Mr T, its only the hottest day of the year, a bit of sweat will do you no harm

 

[Mr T]

Mate thats exactly what I will be doin tmoz... Off work till Thursday so want the bathroom at least prepped for boarding and tiling. Got 3 days so should be ok haha

I used my SDS but bought the Armeg tile removing chisel mentioned above last year when I needed to remove a floor.. it literally ate them

Jon.

 

[Mr T]

thanks mate was it a big brand store for future reference? cheers

 

[jond500]

The tile removing bits are a bit specialist, check out any of the forum sponsors as they will stock them. I got mine of eBay but make sure it's genuine

Any SDS will do provided it has a hammer only mode which they virtually all have, I got my SDS from a DeWalt refurb centre for about half the price of new with the same warranty.
