Marcrist or Hilti for a core drill?

[stratplus]

Which one would you buy?

Hilti hands down

Makita 8406C. Great drill, cores up to 6" holes. My last one lasted 10 years and just replaced it with the same model again.

Or even the less powerful but much cheaper Makita 8406. Hired one of these a few times so when it came to buying my own I had no hesitation in getting one. My core (excuse the pun) business is ventilation and I've no cause for complaint with the 8406.

Makita 8406 for me

Hilti for me, makita ok but got sick of replacing clutches ever 12 to 18 months

Millwaukee do a core still for £400 it's a tough piece of kit. I've done 10 4" cores in a day and it hasn't squealed once. It's used daily now for about 4 years.
