Does anyone have experience with the Makita DHR171 or (similar small 1.2J SDS drills)? How does it do drilling 8mm holes in limestone? I'm thinking about getting one for small jobs and at the end of a lot of rope. My DHR243 is excellent but a bit heavy to lug around if you just want to drill a few holes or have to hold it above your head for hours on end. It is however perfect for shotholes or larger holes for resin or plug and feathers. Obviously, as I already have lots of Makita 18v batteries I'm only looking at their stuff.
