    Usually an sds and screwgun needed unless the combis have improved for drilling masonry

    For occasionally drilling a block wall cordless drill is fine. Have a Stanley fatmax and a Ryobi, perfectly good for the diyer, available in b and q

    The combis take so long drilling holes in masonry that the plug does be loose in the hole

    I dunno I reckon u need 2 , can't really see the point of trying to do both jobs with one
