ive had my sds drill for about 5 months now, and out of the lot of my cordless kit, the sds gets the least used, about once every fortnight it comes out and even then its light work.
ive just pulled it out today where just my luck, i need this trusty tool to save my life against alot of manual labour today..stick in a chisel attatchment, and the sds sounds like a bag of spanners, the hammer mode has gone into like trebble hammer and is shaking the whole drill, it totally sounds unhealthy, has anyone got a idea whats happend to my sds? im so annoyed as its never used for it to break like this, its useable if i hit the end of the chisel into the wall hard and the loud clanging stops for a bit, then back again.
I have not heard of this problem but the good news is that it’s still under warranty!
Sounds like it is double impacting for so,e reason. I would say to just keep using it; it will probably re-sync shortly and work correctly. Worst case scenario, it fully fails, and you get it completely rebuilt under warranty. Best case, it starts functioning normally again.
