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)?

Might be capable of coring but what about putting a 50mm hole through granite. Ungodly stuff that chews bits up and spits them out especially blue anvil or something like that

Thought my ryobi sds had died the other month. Sat and took it apart earlier. Only blooming fixed it haven’t I.

To the OP: What replacement did you end up buying, or are you still window shopping?

I just bought another titan.

The last one lasted even with me abusing it and just over £100 if it only lasts 2 years then hey ho.

I’ve got a Bosch GBH 11, I bought it second hand from Fleabay when I had some big drilling jobs. It’s a monster and has had some real abuse and kept on going. I’d have to check but I don’t thing it has a non hammer drill function. I’d guess it was about 15kg and not something you’d want to hold while you core.

Wouldn’t spend that much on a drill if I was getting 6 of them.

I bought a couple of Dewalt FlexVolt kit but it was quickly sold on. The batteries essentially contain 3 normal 18v batteries. If you use it with an 18v tool you get 9ah which is cracking, if you use the same with a 54v tool you get a pitiful 3ah as the batteries are connected in series. The grinders and saws I had were very powerful but the rub time made them almost worthless.

Good to know but I thought you could acutally choose between whether to use 18v & 54v on the Flexvolt range and therefore opt for the extra runtime, obviously not. I've posted a youtube review in the tools section where Hilti whoops the lot of them.

That looks interesting hopefully the other big ones will copy the idea / make there own
