Why not get a nice SDS max breaker kyle? I've got a Makita jobbie and its a right beast. Got 4 of them from Axminster when they were in a crazy sale for £199 each, sold 3 on ebay for around £300 each and kept one for myself paid for by the profits.

I've got a 36v hilti combi drill/breaker that's sds max that's was the last thing I bought

Now that multiscribe is goin in my basket
I've got the bosch dust extractor but I find it take up to much room to take it to every job it's easier to take my old karcher wet and dry van it's much smaller lighter and I don't care if it gets knocked about

Next time I have to ask a client the thickness of his tiles or door frame to be fitted, I'm gonna pull out my own bloody micrometer now and check myself!

Aldi £8 including spare battery and 3 yr warranty and really well made and robust!

[Old Mod]

and u can plunge with it if ur carful

Sounds like a little bit of a disaster waiting to happen. Esp if it's not a tool you use everyday like a joiner would.
In the same way we use a grinder in ways others wouldn't dare.

Ohhhh! A plunge saw! Haha
Well I'm not a joiner, some of you may know this,
but I have the ts55 festool PLUG saw, and it's brilliant.
Everything I've used it for has been cut perfectly and to the mm. It makes light work of any piece I put it to.
However it's only used occasionally so it's not roughhoused at all, but every joiner I've seen with one swears by it.
Your mates not a shuttering chippie is he?
That's a joke Kyle!

I've got the festool, amazing bit of kit, as 3fall said, every chippy I know swears by the festool and I can see why,
