14V Makita SDS drill for sale (for cheap)

This is an old Dachstein expedition drill plus batteries: a lightweight Makita 14V SDS-plus drill, plus 8 batteries - 5 genuine (AFAIK) Makita 3Ah ones and 3 dodgy knockoffs. Would have been mostly used for 8mm holes and I wouldn't advise trying to use it on holes a lot bigger than that (10mm, maybe 12mm probably OK?).

We've only stopped using because a) all our other drills are 18V so we can't be bothered to deal with a separate set of batteries and b) all the batteries are somewhat knackered. As far as I know the drill itself is fine, and you'll get multiple holes out of each battery still (probably)...

Collections from Ingleton or caver post (we are often down at SWCC and will be down in the Mendips early December).

Price: a reasonable donation to the Dachstein exped (probably not very much I suspect!). Place your (small) bids now?

Crappy cord and even more crappy sticks-open-carabiner included (because I couldn't be bothered to fight with the knot any more).
