I've gone for DDM3 to have the water injection if I need it. It's overkill for 90% of coring but I've been doing a fair few installs in a development with rebar in the concrete walls so a wet core is essential.

Mine was from core drill city and arrived the day after I bought. Prices for the Marcrists seem to be similar in most places when I looked. I got the DDM1 by the way and it said it came with 5 years guarantee and 5 years free servicing

Can the Makita not be fixed?

You'll cream yer pants when you try the big red beast out :lol:

 

[smtplumbing]

you got one as well tamz

 

[tamz]

I've got a 2 and a 3.
Put it on speed 3 :wink:

 

[smtplumbing]

speeds is it crazy like lol, ever use the water injection

 

[tamz]

You won't need the water until you need it (you'll know when you hit a bit craigleith stone). It is too messy. Try it out in an empty house or a renovation job.

 

[tamz]

Speed 3 will take a 5" core no problem. Your time is money.

 

[smtplumbing]

long does it take you on speed 3 you know what some houses are like up here

 

[tamz]

Takes you longer to get it out the van and stick a core on than it does to drill the hole. You'll find out through the week. Its a heavy gun but easily handled and the 850 cores are the mutts.

 

[smtplumbing]

a big spend but hoping its worth it should be here Wednesday just looking forward to use it
