My trusty but battered titan sds max drill has died or it still works on drill but the switch to turn it into kango doesn't want to shift any more than 1/4 turn. For £99 getting 3 hard years work out of it drilling Up To 52mm through granite walls.

Any others out there that people recommend? Not interested in spending £1000+ on a hilti and tempted to just get another titan but if there are any other good cheapest ones I'm all ears.
 
TBH id your happy buy the same

Bosch for me if you don’t want Hilti corded

I'm not a big fan of dewalt they are not the best build quality in my opinion. I had a dewalt core drill get that hot doing a 52mm hole that it melted the plastic and the screws came out. That's with a new bit as well. Also had an sds plus that was gutless and eventually after about a year set on fire.

Not sure about the other bloke. But I need one that can core as well.

Won't get many sds max that do core as well as most you can't turn hammer off so I've found. My core drill died the week before so got to replace that just going to get the makita from screwfix as that can't be worse than the dealt one I had.
 
How about buying a Hilti?
Or one that was a demo?
I have the Hilti TE60 and use it now for to do cores. Very safe as has an electronic cut out which works instantly, plus a safety clutch.
Can buy them on eBay very reasonable
 
Just got home and found this on my desk mate. No good for me. Anygood for you?

I was doing a job a few years ago and had to drill quite a few 50mm holes in reinforced concrete.

I bought a Bosch GBH SDS max drill from eBay 2nd hand and it wasn’t much more than a titan etc. The thing is a monster, defiantly recommend if you’ve got heavy work. It came with a load of cruciform carbide drills and they are a lot quicker than cores etc.
 
I have a Hilti and a Hitachi. The Hilti beats the Hitachi hands down in performance. Had a Bosch before which I bought second hand and was fine. You do get what you pay for.
 
Cough cough don’t know when but looks good :D

 
Most have brought out cordless sds max drill capable of 5 " coring nowadays, why the soft spot for Bosch sds (still use my 24v btw)?

Might be capable of coring but what about putting a 50mm hole through granite. Ungodly stuff that chews bits up and spits them out especially blue anvil or something like that :eek::mad::mad::mad:
