Diamond Core Drill

[Phil]

I see Screwfix have some of the Sparkys in stock now, £139 for 1100W or £179 for 1250W. Can't help thinking the 850W Makita is more powerful though as I've used both.

I use a Makita 2450 standard sds hammer drill not on hammer with a core of up to 127mm through brick. The clutch slips sometimes but at least you dont loose your arm. I have had the drill for 3 years and use mexco core. If the core sticks alot use water from a squeezy bottle to lubricate.

I have used the makita extensively for severla years, they are brilliant. Had two fail on me in probably 5 years, possibly usng it 4 or 5 times a week on average. One the clutch went, the other started spraying an oily substance out of the vents all over the place. was not particuarly that day. Other than that, faultless.
