Hi,
It's my old man's 50th coming up and he has a new kitchen on order to mark the occasion. He's been a DIYer all his life but never invested in decent kit.
Problem is he recently bought his council flat and the walls are made of serious stuff. I think it's supposed to be concrete but I swear if you mined the walls you'd get a few diamonds out of it. It really is something else.
Anyway his budget Black & Decker takes about a minute to drill a 6mm hole, so you can imagine how hilarious it will be for him to put up a whole set of cabinets, shelves and that.
I've got about £300 to spend, maybe more but just a ballpark for a guide. His last drill is 10 years old so maybe this kit will see him out (sorry dad!).
I'm totally open to any brand, product numbers/ranges would be great. Also accessories if you can recommend any, bits and chucks and stuff?
Are there any that can also chase out channels for wires, pipes? Is that an option? I think he wants to do as much of the work as he can - so the tradesman can do the wiring/gas in one hit.
Thanks guys!
