Ocassionally in my job i need to drill a 4" core through walls for vents etc. If i were doing 3 or 4 a week i would just go out and get a name brand diamond core drill...but for me it might be one every few months.
For those that drill cores regularly would you say a cheaper make drill such as this - http://www.homebase.co.uk/webapp/wc...ay?langId=110&storeId=10151&partNumber=421422 would do the job ok?
At the moment 99% of the drilling i do is with an 18v Li-Ion De-Walt cordless (Council property maintainance) but now and then a corded hammer drill would be handy for jobs that need lots of drilling and justifies running cables out etc.
By the way, as the cordless is obviously not SDS all my masonery drills are straight shank, therefore a chuck key corded drill is my preference over an SDS.
