Just got myself one of [url= http://www.lidl.co.uk/cps/rde/SID-BA057143-D8040A8E/www_lidl_uk/hs.xsl/our-offers-2491.htm?action=showDetail&id=4803 ]these[/url]
£70 notes for a cordless drill with proper SDS chuck so proper pneumatic hammer action. Made mincemeat of a drilling job my 18v B&D drill could barely make a mark on.
Seems very nicely put together - subsidiary of Einhell it would appear.

Makita are available for not much more though. Agree that SDS is an absolute winner, I now wonder how I managed any real drilling before I bought one!
Really? Gotta link?
I can't find anything in makita range that near that price wise.
A quick search on screwfix, says the cheapest is £150+
Seen Makitas for around the £100 mark with a single battery but they are SDS and still £30 more.
For the occasional diyer that I am that's a reasonable price difference.
Trouble is i live in a house built in 1890 so when drilling in to walls i sometimes encounter nothing more than horsehair reinforced plaster but sometimes flint, granite, diamond etc so need something with a bit of kick.
This one seems to fit the bill nicely
does the drill take normal drill bits, or just the SDS type and the SDS-Hex types?
SDS - it has a full SDS chuck.
Comes with some bits though - 6mm, 8mm and 10mm full SDS masonry and the same in wood bits + a hex adapter for these.
Proper bit of kit - fast charger as well.
Only real downside so far is only the one battery but again, for a diyer like me its not a deal breaker.

apologies - missed the bit about cordless. I've got corded for the big drill, reckon that makes most sense.
