Hi all
Need to drill some 50mm holes through a wall What do you guys advise - should I look at buying a Diamond Core set, TCT or individual bits? I would need to use them with my Dewalt SDS or should I look for a cheap core drill as well ?? :)
 
we just hire one, if you're going to use it now and again no point shelling out for one. i just use my sds
or just use the plumbers when hes on tea 0

Ensure that the drill you use any core bit with has a clutch.
I made the mistake once & paid for it with a snapped tendon in my thumb, when the 50mm core bit snatched spinning the drill in my hand.
I now have a hand with a thumb that isn't stable when holding heavy items even after an operation to (unsuccessfully) re-attach the tendon.
 
What about something like this.....you get the core for a 4" fan aswell.......................
