let me know, or link me with a shop that I could get tomorrow! My guns terrible.

 

[mcniven]

what would be best gun i could get on screwfix/merchants/shop ?

 

[tamz]

Depends what you want to do with it. The dewalt sds gun will be good for most general drilling and a bit chiseling. Bit light for driving cores but it will do it if you take your time.

If you want a gun to do cores the D21570 is a decent cheap one. It works as an ordinary hammer drill too.

Marcrist DDM2 Diamond Core Drill 2 Speed 240 Volt

Dont know if this store is legit but worth a look

 

[mcniven]

ces this is in manchester eh, im in glasgow and need to pick one up tomorrow my normal one packed.. what one do hire companys give u

 

[tamz]

Usually hilti's or the big dewalts. Sometimes they do the smaller makitas with the 1/2" chuck. If you are in a hire shop ask them what they are selling. Usually they have stuff for sale too, sometimes reconditioned ones that are a good buy.

There is a machine mart on great western road. They have a decent range of stuff or there is a toolstop out at uddingston. Better choice than s crew fix.

Sorry Mate, didn't realise you needed it asap

 

[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.

 

[mcniven]

is this a good core drill phil ?

 

[transit05]

do you intend to use for wet or dry drilling

 

[mcniven]

dry normal 4" flue holes

 

[transit05]

wet or dry drilling

 

[kozak1968]

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.

I use a Makita 2450 sds hammer drill not on hammer with a 127mm mexco core. Clutch slips sometimes but at least you dont loose your arm. Had the drill 3 years. If it keeps sticking spray with water. It cuts through brick o.k.
