diamond core drill????

[nickelarsed]

Need a core drill but tired of spending money on tools:bigcry::bigcry:. These look cheaper than the dewalts/makita's etc:


PDP PD162 Dry Diamond Core Drill 240V (PD-162)

Any one used or heard about them? worth a shot ? Or is it another one of those you get what you pay for so just bite the bullet and pay once situations. Tools are just endless money aint they.

For a few extra quid I'd go for one of these

Got this. Beware, it's a heavy beast of a machine.

Is it good though apart from that? Can live with a bit of weight if its quick. You happy with it?

 

[TBServices]

Yeah it's speedy, smooth and built to last

 

[SilentMike]

i've got one, got no complaints with mine, never used the marcist so can't compare

 

[nickelarsed]

Thanks everyone, think I'm getting seduced by the shiny marcrist :coolgleamA: . Always happens, but to be fair it's pretty well priced too.

Marcist all the way, there CCU850 core bits are the great also.

Cheaper here

ordered the marcrist now :gunsmilie:, but what's ffw? They sound cheap but I googled it and got a law firm.

I've got the marcrist a bit heavy but good to use and quick with the cu core bits.
snapped a couple of teeth on a stainless wall tie just rang the rep and they replaced it for free.
