How gospel is the max core bit size rating for core drills?

[Millsy 82]

I used to use a sds plus for cores and it lasted years, I've used my core drill above what I should a couple of times and no problem.

127mm max capacity?

Let me guess... Dewalt silver bullet?

I know my drills...

if anyone asks, i just tell them i need them for work and as i offer 24/7 call out i might need them at the time they've got them.

good one. bullet proof.

would have been silver bullet proof in this case.

The ideal solution to any situation is not usually the one that resorts to reflexive lying, especially not with friends/family.

But I guess "You can't borrow it because I like you but I don't trust you have the opposable thumbs not to break it into pieces but I suspect you do have the chutzpah not to tell me you did" will lead to awkward situations

I guess your mate may well find out.

Whether or not he tells you may be another thing.
If it comes back in a smouldering heap - the rated size could be justified as gospel.

Thats the trouble with friends and family, they think that you have to lend them something because you've got it
