There does appear to be new groups of users for these. Some
keep breaking 'em, some don't! Maybe I'm not pushing it hard
enough!

I hardly ever need an SDS hammer drill, so I bought one from
Aldi for =A325 (including some bits). It's fine. The OP would
do well to but a cheapo first off, mains, with rotary stop
and non-hammer capability).

You shouldn't "push" an SDS drill - it should sort of "float"
on a cushion of blows as you use it. Hold it loosely (but look
out for the bit binding, withdraw the bit halfway out of the
hole from time to time to clear debris).
