Core Drill for boiler flues mainly

[AWheating]

sometimes its quicker to stich tbh, but i think the core bit is more important than the drill. Id rather have an ok drill and good bit than a good drill and a ok bit.

Good drills don't break your wrists when the bit bites lol.

Thats why i've asked this question lol. The clutch has burnt out on my Makita a couple of times and both times its not done my wrist any good!

Also, with regards to the core bits what are the Macrist bits like?!

I've been looking at this deal, what do you guys think? Marcrist DDM2/CCU850X Diamond Core Drill Set 240v 7700.001.001 - £319.00 - www.protilertools.co.uk

I would like a ddm3 but I don't have the extra cash!

I might have to invest in it this week then! From reading different reviews I haven't heard anyone say a bad thing about the DDM2!

Trev,

You gas safe, don't think you can drill the hole, you can stand and watch a Gas Safe engineer do it... needs to be falling the right way. +- 0.346 of a degree

hahaha, brilliant, pmsl
