Sds max has died I need a new one.

How about buying a Hilti?
Or one that was a demo?
I have the Hilti TE60 and use it now for to do cores. Very safe as has an electronic cut out which works instantly, plus a safety clutch.
Can buy them on eBay very reasonable

Will take a look mate.

NO good for me mate. I need a max not a plus. Plus is no good for 25mm through 1mtr thick granite wall, core drills don't touch granite so have to use a max and some big big drill bits.

Any others out there that people recommend? Not interested in spending £1000+ on a hilti and tempted to just get another titan but if there are any other good cheapest ones I'm all ears.

£33/year for drilling seems good value to me. If you were happy with it, just buy another one.

I was doing a job a few years ago and had to drill quite a few 50mm holes in reinforced concrete.

I bought a Bosch GBH SDS max drill from eBay 2nd hand and it wasn’t much more than a titan etc. The thing is a monster, defiantly recommend if you’ve got heavy work. It came with a load of cruciform carbide drills and they are a lot quicker than cores etc.

I have a Hilti and a Hitachi. The Hilti beats the Hitachi hands down in performance. Had a Bosch before which I bought second hand and was fine. You do get what you pay for.

They do but not many around if going for used, looked at them a while back but couldn't face dragging a trasnsformer around.

I find the problem using SDS max for coring is they tend to be large heavy units (1000w +) and not too easy holding up high.

Cough cough don’t know when but looks good

Most have brought out cordless sds max drill capable of 5 " coring nowadays, why the soft spot for Bosch sds (still use my 24v btw)?
