I havent seen one. Only normal drill chuck that fits into a sds, doesn't mean there isn't one.
 I have two of these but 110 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/AEG-KH28-XE-28mm-SDS-3-Mode-Hammer-Drill-QCC-240-Vol-/260815498371?pt=UK_Home_Garden_PowerTools_SM&hash=item3cb9d0ac83

and a cordless dewalt sds.

It's only a hole, can't be that hard.  I also need something with more grunt for making a trench in my conctre lounge floor soon to run cables across the room.

chase two lines with a grinder first. Inch or two apart then use the sds hammer chisel to make the channel

Good advice, cheers.  That's exactly what I'm looking to do.  My television is going to be wll mounted on the opposite side of the room from where the phone/fibre, Sky and aerial is  :undecided:  So need to route the cables all the way across.  Figured do a proper job of it  :smiley:

Spend a bit more and get a very good drill:

I have a load of drills like yours with the shank spun down to fit my cordless 10 and 12mm chucks.

when you are lookin for hammer drills especially if you are going to be doing quite a lot of chiseling then you need to look  for one with a high joule rating as that is how hard it can hit, and the harder it can hit the better it will be at chiseling
