Evolution Power Tools SDS4-800 Hammer Drill 4 Functions - Drill, Chisel, Rotation, Hammer, 5 x Attachments Included (230 V)

Great all around tool and perfect for my needs

I've only used this drill for a short period and already I'm very impressed. The range of features for the price is really quite remarkable and I'm delighted that it's British designed. First of all it's not too heavy and very ergonomic to operate. There are four very useful and easily selectable modes of operation: normal drilling for wood and for paint stirring/plaster mixing; hammer drilling for concrete, brickwork, etc.; fixed chiselling when control of the chisel angle is important; and, free chiselling when it's OK for the chisel to turn as it encounters resistance. In each mode the speed can be controlled by varying the pressure on the trigger or by turning the speed control dial and locking the trigger in the On position - very useful for long operations like plaster mixing. Then there's the reversing switch, which makes extraction of drills stuck in wood so much easier. Finally, the side handle can be easily locked in any positron for better control of the drill. In operation, the hammer action is very efficient, making chiselling operations effortless. All in all, a great tool and the fifth from this maker I've been impressed with, others being their RAGE3-S+ Multi-Purpose Sliding Mitre Saw, their Mitre Saw Stand with Extensions, their RAGE1-B Multi-Purpose Circular Saw and their Diamond Blade for cutting concrete etc. - and I suspect it won't be my last. Highly recommended.

Purchased this for a one off job of removing a couple of fence posts buried in concrete. I was not expecting much for the price, but it certainly did its job. The various drill / hammer bits were helpful and I really feel I pushed this thing to its limit. Its fairly powerful and lightweight, but It did get very hot and there was a burning smell, but I eased off for a bit and it carried on without problem. I think if this is was something I were to use everyday, I would probably want to invest a bit more money in it, but believe if its a one off job you want doing, this thing is great.

This drill works perfectly. It is very easy to use and the grips are comfortable to use whilst drilling. It is relatively compact for the type of drill that it is. But as you should expect dur to its power it is larger than a normal drill. It is mains powered, or at least the one I purchased is, so I cannot comment on battery life.

I bought this hammer drill mainly to remove cement from standard house bricks so I could reuse them, and, using the supplied 1" chisel bit, it did the job effortlessly, and swiftly. It was honestly a joy to use, and saved me SO much time and effort. I would highly recommend it to anyone 😉👍

drill broke down after light use, motor is spinning but chuck will not engage with motor and is making a grating noise. I think that the internal gearing/shaft has broken.

This is my first purchase from this manufacturer but will not be the last. At such a good price you get a great SDS drill with 5 attachments. When this first arrived I checked all the bits and chisels and found 1 bit to be not straight causing the end to 'waggle' making it useless to use. After a very helpful phone call to the Evolution customer services this was immediately rectified and they sent a replacement drill bit straight away. They don't only have a quality product but also a customer service second to none.

I love this drill! I was borrowing one to do some DIY on our new house and realised I should probably buy my own for the amount of work I was using it for. That one was an expensive brand, but I prefer this one by far. It still has a huge amount of power, but never feels like it will run away with it. Good selection of bits included. Only shame was that mine arrived without the case. This didn’t bother me though, as I have enough tool boxes to store it in.

Super
