Bit stuck at the first stage, which colour?
Ferrari Official Car Configurator
Red ones with yellow decals - always fetch more money used!
Given the choice - it would be white for me...
Back to reality - eating toast with butter on it and looking for 4/6kg 240v SDS drill online cheap for a job!
I've got a DeWalt you can borrow it's SDS max but I've got several bits for it.

Thanks for the offer - but just scored a job - where we gotta put 200+ chemi anchors in.
I got one aging Bosch 6kg SDS drill - but with two of us at it - I should buy another - speed the job up and if my old one fails we will have another at hand.

My experience with cheap mains SDS drills…..they loose the hammer action very quickly, but a good one!

I've had a mains dewalt SDS for longer than I can remember (probably 18 years)..still going strong. Mine has the rotation stop chisel which is handy...that was a big feature back in the day.
It did take a while to core out a soil pipe thro a double 1970s brick wall but those bricks were bloomin hard...to be fair its the wrong drill for that job but it's all I had at the time!

I got a 2kg Dewalt SDS drill and that has done some work.
I need to put 20mm x 180mm holes into a floor of building and lots of them (200+). This is long SDS drill and 6kg drill stuff - so you not too bent over doing them.

Will there be flint in the floor?, we were installing a robot welding cell somewhere in Norfolk and using a Bosch SDS to drill for the floor bolts, it really struggled due to the amount of flint in floor mix, at one point it got that hot the grease started melting out of the gearbox!

The titan stuff I've used (like their breaker) has been very good...bit heavy but in this case that will probably make the job easier. Probably worth stocking up on good drill bits just in case.

Yes - maybe? (hope not) - been there before - floor not that bad - but it agricultural - so you could get into a seam of another mix.
That is why I wanted to take two drills...
I have got 20mm rebar drill bits (these another hammer action turned off type tool)
---------
If the flint that bad - you can go for diamond bits with no hammer action - but I not geared up for that.
