Cheers Dad!

Brought my first house earlier this year and needless to say my dad is exited to show me the ropes. He trained as carpenter and also worked as a window fitter in his 20’s before changing careers.

Blessed to have his knowledge and help.

Personally I wouldn't bother with the chuck. SDS will be too powerful and heavy for a lot of jobs.

Get a drill driver like this.

Just use those for wood then, the SDS is a bit overkill for that kind of work.

Agreed, I have had one of these in my box for a few years now and I only use it when I have a bigger sized holesaw to use
