How much wobble in the chuck is normal for this drill?

If you mean wobble when drill is running, then yes it does have some wobble as it is very powerful. Obviously the longer shank, bits are going to accent that wobble the longer they become. That being said I am a framer that works with structural steel. From 12 gauge and up. This work of art hasn't let me down yet. Its drilled holes through 12 gauge at 5/16ths and 4" deep into coreslab, poured, precast, you name it. Its considerable lighter even with a 4 amp hour lithium, smaller, designed better, spins faster (rpm) than the dewalt 20v xrp brushless. I've never had the need to drill anything deeper than 6" with 5/16ths, and yes a little wobble was there but not much at all, even going through 12 gauge structural steel with masonry bits. I also let the drill do the work, I give very miniscule pressure, if your forcing the drill, your using it wrong. I work off swingstages and suspended platforms sometimes, 20 stories up, if not more, we are required to have all tools tethered for added security and safety. I laugh my skinny white tattooed eurotrash ass off all day long at these morons carrying dewalt, makita, or any of the major brands used here in Canada. For one they cost twice to three times as much, and barely do the same job as my Ryobi. My Ryobi tends to be lighter, which makes easier for me, being 135lbs and 6'1". This drill is well built as well, I am the king of punishment and what I put, myself and my tools through. They say Ryobi isn't a commercially renowned company between journeymen and tradesmen, yet it has proven that theory wrong over and over again. Also because of the cost I don't feat breaking them as much as the expensive brands, most of the guys I work with spends thousands fixing tools, I buy mine less expensive and if they actually break, I dont feel bad throwing it away like a disposable and buying another. The only thing I dislike about Ryobi, they haven't had a drywall only cordless 18v one+ screwgun on the market since the 12volt days, if they did, my tools would be complete.I only do industrial / commercial work. Generally high rises. No residential. This drill is now the only one in my tool bag besides, my impact and right angle drill.

Is it brushless? if not, is there another cordless ryobi sds drill that is?

Good afternoon, Thank you for your enquiry. This particular drill is not brushless but it is a very good and reliable tool supplied with a genuine 3-year Ryobi warranty. The brushless model that Ryobi supply is the stock code R18SDS7. If you have any additional questions or wish to place an order, please don't hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Nick

Would this cope with drilling 12mm diameter holes 4 or 5 inches deep into red brick continuously (say 40 holes) for a damp proof course ?

I don't see why not but its all about knowing about your tools really, good practice in use and don't try to over use. Let the drill do the work instead of pushing it overtly with your body. The drill bit will get hot as well so be carefull. Use quality bits; don't rely on cheap ones .
