Hi all Will hopefully be cracking on with some outside diy projects during the summer and am considering buying a drill for the following jobs; Breaking up a poured concrete path Breaking up crazy paving patio Core drilling 100mm hole through brick wall There will be more I am sure ! Have hired drills before but for around £100 I was thinking of buying one of these; http://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb571sds-6kg-sds-max-drill-230-240v/15458 Or for £60 one of these; http://www.screwfix.com/p/titan-ttb278sds-5kg-sds-drill-240v/97533 The first drill is 6kg SDS max, the 2nd drill 5 kg SDS plus Don't really know what I'm comparing to be honest ! Is the SDS max \ plus just different chucks and bits and what relationship does the Kg rating have on the power available The 5Kg drill has a higher wattage motor than the 6 Kg drill for instance Drill will get occasional, diy use, realise that Titan is a budget own brand but will probably stand up to this kind of use - just which drill ?? Thanks for your time and thoughts guys
for the concrete path and crazy paving use. http://www.screwfix.com/p/forge-steel-hickory-handle-sledge-hammer-7lb/31390 Then buy the cheaper drill for the other works.
I have never used titan tools but have heard they are good value for your money,the first one you listed looks like you can use it for core drilling as well.But the other one does not state that it can from what I can see,so I would choose the first one (bit more money bit more tool).
The cheaper one looks better. Although it doesn't mention core drilling, the dearer one states 38mm max core bit, which is rubbish. The cheaper one though, has less capacity in concrete, so may not be any better with core-drilling! Read the reviews and make your mind up from those who've used it. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
Just out of curiosity, can you get a core drill that fits a SDS max machine, if not then the second one which is SDS+ is the only option.
By the way, more watts means less slowing of motor under load, and Kg = similar weight of hammer to chisel(as in 5kg hammer drill hits like a 5kg lump hammer-only a lot more rapidly) Mr. HandyAndy - Really
You normally use a core-bit that fits the normal chuck on DRILL setting(never with sds hammer) The chuck adapter is used for that. Mr. HandyAndy - Really
I am aware of that HA, but I have never seen a SDS max chuck adaptor, although I have seen core-drills with SDS+ fittings.
