Hi I fancy buying a core drill set but I am finding the choice and prices incredibly varied. I have looked on Ebay and in general on the net through google but I am lost which set to get. All I know is I want the usual set which probably starts about 38mm and goes up to 127mm, that seems like a common enough set that will cover anything I may tackle unless you know different?
Are there rubbish sets that wear out really quick, or are they all pretty good but just slower or quicker to cut?
Also are they all deep enough to cut right through a brick or do they vary in depth of possible cut?
I used to be in building services so I am quite handy and so all the family get me to do jobs for them. This means I would like a really good set but it is not my profession to cut holes but they may get a fair bit more use than the average diyer. I have a few jobs at the moment to cut holes through brick for a 32mm wastes and possibly a 100mm one and I see a couple more sink waste jobs coming up.
So could you advise me what set would be good to buy and what to look for, ie any special manufacturing process, laser welded etc and any makes that are really good, maybe you know from experience.
Any help appreciated as I am lost with the choice at the moment.
