New Core Drill Rqd

[Kev the gas]

What drill do you guys use for core drilling?

My Bosch drill has finally given up and am in the market.

Used prob at least once a week so a decent drill reqd obviously with a clutch.

Any suggestions?

I've got a Marcrist DDM and set of cores too. It is quite a monster and rips through everything at incredible speed. Highly recommend it. Only dislike is the lack of a variable speed trigger to get it going without turning the plaster and breeze block into fine powder and spreading it around the house....

Had alot of problems with my marcrist. It would drop out of gear when warm. And would give a really sore hand after using it because if the square handle
