Recommend me a drill?

[carlosthejack...]

Or opinions please. I've got x3 ground anchors to fit, two in concrete, one in brick. My drill is shit. I need a new one to complete this task, and then to keep for household DIY shit.

Budget's about £100. I've seen this one. Opinions please?

Don't even bother, if you're drilling into brick and concrete you'll need an SDS drill.

Me arse. If your drill bit is good enough even my shitty 550W Black and Decker hammer drill will do the job through concrete or brick. Having fitted two ground anchors, in brick and concrete when I got the SV I know my drills up to the job. Probably doesn't go through it like cheese, like a bigger fancier drill would, but it's capable enough.

A decent hammer action drill will do you fine - my B&D has done 16mm into brick and concrete no problems.
A reasonable weight SDS will make it a load quicker, but it'll be less flexible for general use - if you want to be using it for bike mechanics stuff, it'll be far too cumbersome generally.

[Phoenix]

I don't know, i've used a hammer drill through tarmac before no problems, however both my 800W hammer drill and my neighbours better one would not make the 16mm holes in my concrete garage floor, would get about 1/2" inch down and then do nothing even using different sized bits. Borrowed an SDS drill and it made mincemeat out of it. It's also often hard to find any bits let alone good ones in large sizes for non-SDS drills. Reason being is they know they're crap for it so why make them.

Ended up buying this one for about what it would cost for a weekend's hire of something similar. Reviews are good. Will report back once I've used it.

Do yourself a favour and take it back tommorrow for a refund. Challenge is the name that Argos use for there ''exclusive'' range of power tools and like so many ''own brand'' products the quality is shit.
You would be better off digging a bit deeper into your pocket and buying one of these:-

The quality of Makita tools is fantastic and they are rugged and durable.

First job done, managed lovely. The real "challenge" will be at the weekend when I put the anchors in. If it fucks up, so be it, I'll go back for a refund...

I would have suggested the original Bosch drill would have been more than capable. I have a very similar (but much older) model that has drilled thru brick walls, paving slabs, metals etc etc and still going strong.
The Challenge is very much a budget model, and if there's any chance of getting a refund, I suggest you take advantage of it
