Safer if you don't go over 2" with the grinder as there is no clutch but you can do it if you can hold it.

Looks good Tamz. Like the central bar thing as would hate to have a big grab with 18 inch grinder as a lever. Most of my grabs are a result of the pilot slipping out so this system would get rid of this. Cheers !

Bumping this old thread. Anyone know where I can get one for about £250? The DDM2 seems to have gone up a bit!!

I think the ddm2 has been discontinued

Ddm2's gone. I ordered one from ffx a few months ago and they got back to me a week later and said they were unable to get them in anymore. Looked at pro tiler tools the other night and they don't list them either. Ill just get the Milwaukee at some point now. I don't like using my sds for cores.

I believe the ddm3 is still available, same drill with a 3 speed 'box I'll probably get one these if my 2 ever packs up.

it comes in at just under 500 quid for the 3!

 

[Roger Welton]

Tax man will have it if you don't spend it though (I also have addiction to buying tools!)

 

[Dannypipe]

I think £500 is a bit too much. Even if the tax man will have it. I'm not putting boilers in every day so I can't justify the dosh at them moment. Maybe when I get everything done for Xmas as I should have a few more quid spare by then.

that's next on my list danny. if you get a ddm3 i'd love to lend you that and have a little compare.

my workmate has it and its nice to use

 

[Dannypipe]

I heard the Milwaukee has a 'soft hammer' function. Years and years ago I was chatting to a plumber in a merchants and he had just bought a Milwaukee core drill and it was playing up. This was before they were as popular as they are today. I will happily lend it to you when I get it mate. That is if I don't by a cheap Dewalt or similar instead!

 

[Killy Bing]

it goes lovely, stops without a bad jerk due to the electronic clutch. the soft hammer makes a lot of difference in time.
I'm fitting a boiler Tuesday and I'm employing Thomas (the one with the Milwaukee) and I will see what it's like with my new marcrist cores. (yay, no more crappy Ryobi cores)

i'm interested to see which is the better beast between the ddm3 and milwaukee.

I have vowed not to get a cheap core drill after having a sparky drill get stuck on and pull me off a ladder, luckily it was a bungalow.

A few places are still saying they have the ddm2 if you do a search. Might be worth ringing them.

Not that i've ever felt. I can hold it with one hand and drink my coffee with the other :smile:
It's easily held but i'm about a foot taller than you and probably a wee bit stronger.
