SDS drill being used instead of core drill?

[Dave OCD]

The difference is the power to cope with the torque needed.

SDS drill for £100?

Great drill, as good as if not better than other SDS drills I've borrowed etc. Think I bought mine at a show - maybe ELEX - 5 years ago for £85 including

We had Milwaukee core drills on the firm i did my apprentice with, on the occasion it would play up(user abuse) which meant a trip to the van for a Bosch sds (4kg) jobby. I can honestly say its a real pain to use for core drills as the clutch kicks in constantly and it weights a bloody tonne. It takes about 25-40 mins faffing about with it compared to 5-10 mins with a dedicated core drill.

I wouldn't be using a battery SDS to core holes for fans! Surely no one would. Would they?!

My 240 dewalt sds has cut loads of core holes 32mm to 125mm and I use it for chasing out,still going after 3 years......beat to death but still going best £100 odd quid ever spent!
Best bet is to invest in decent core cutters

What weight is that SDS drill Baddegg?

Horses for courses. SDS for little ones, core drill for bigger ones.

ummmmmm....sorry happy hippy buried in my van and I’m buried in the sofa! It is basically their cheap range sds that I bought when first starting out, I do lots of bathrooms and kitchens and partial/full rewires on occasion so it’s had a lot of use! been waiting for it to die for ages so I can justify a new one!
