the specs may be similar but there is a vast difference in the performance - try one

not really - the durofix is a 10.8 volt with a 15 minute charge time - you will not run one battery out while the other is charging , anyway after a hours hard screwing you'll be ready for a cuppa

if you need it for diamond cores over 2" then there isnt a sds drill on the market that will do the job

contact concept distribution - they should be able to point you at a local dealer http://www.conceptdistribution.co.uk/index_main.html

its generally very difficult to get spares for cheap imported cr@p - try screwfix they seem to be the main seller of the garbage (yes ive had a ferm tool and binned in within 3 months of buying it)

the bosch is good (the driver not the impact driver ) the makita is a bit of a toy - the durofix is the dogs danglies of small drills . we've been selling them since last september and have yet to see a faulty one

either go for the bosch gsr10.8 which is a good bit of kit or look for the durofix 10.8v which is more powerful and faster than the bosch. Not impressed with the bosch 10.8v impact driver , its very slow - again the durofix 10.8 impact driver is a lot better as regards the lithium batteries...

:D

1 / bosch give a 3 year warranty if you bother to register on-line 2/ if you want it for diamond cores over 2" dont waste your money on a sds drill , from a safety aspect the clutch kicks in too late , you would be suprised how many sds core adaptors ive seen broken or twisted 3/ get a...

makita 2450 is now discontinued , replaced by the 2470 the bosch is arguably the better tool (if nothing else has a 3 year warranty) as for the re-brand , cant see it being a genuine bosch , maybe reconditioned ?? but why re-brand a known make to something unknown and sell vastly cheaper...

if you want to cut porcelain then you need a blade which is capable of the job - the blade that comes with the saw is not try a norton supergres or a spectrum sl (which is cheaper than teh norton and does the job better)

may be a idea to send the batteries back to makita - they have a chip in them that will tell how many charges the batt has had etc i would expect makita to swop anything that isnt up to scratch

think you'll struggle to find a 1/4" arbor for any holesaws over 32mm , i'm sure that makita do a chuck to fit that drill but i would think that using a 1/4" shank of any description on a large holesaw will probably snap it I'm afraid that if you bought the 4-way drill for holesaws you may...

the trend snappy range should do you

dont tar everyone with the same brush , a lot of people behind a counter know what they are talking about - If you go to a "proper" shop or builders merchants anyone who shops in places like B&Q deserves to get told crap (that should get some comments :D :D :D )

good quality 127mm diamond core = @ £50 or less you been done :D :D :D

no they are not a universal fitting - you either have to get one to suit the router or buy a trend universal sub-base

the new bosch "turbo tough" look like they will knock spots of makita - and any other makes :shock: :shock: :shock:

norton are good look at about £170 for a set the new toolpak "turbo " are quite impressive at about £150 you should be able to pick up a basic spectrum set for less than £120 or the new spectrum cores look to be the most advanced (turbo teeth and dust removing spiral ) at about £180...

is that one with a 3 speed gearbox ??? if so try makita as they have been a problem since they first came out ( problem is sorted now i gather with a upgraded gear box)
