Best place to buy Porsadrill from - Do we get a discount?

[365drills]

Many thanks for that FB Howsie. One of the exciting things is that 6 years ago there were only very expensive diamond core drilling solutions out there or very cheap bits.

We sit in the middle range at £30-£50 per set. And we also do every size.

That gives installers more choice. Our appeal is not only to DIY-ers. Its to Pro installers too. Thats for a couple of reasons.

1) Pro installers have had equipment stolen from their vans and dont want to (or cant) afford diamond systems at £300+

2) Pro installers like the choice to charge out the cost of the drills as a consumable to a job. Average bathroom installation uses approx £3000 worth of porcelain tiles and so at £49.99 the kit gets added as a throw away item to be charged out.

3) Pro installers like the knowlege that they can cost out a job ahead of doing the work and can know for sure their total drilling costs per client.

4) Pro installers love the fact we have a full and comprehensive range that can be delivered next day.

5) Pro installer companies with say 10 tiling teams working on a building site can issue one set per team at £49.99 rather than sharing expensive drilling rigs at £300 per rig.

6) Pro installers like the fact they can replace kits either full or in part.

7) Pro installers like the convenience of having a couple of kits on board that they can lend out to a mate in trouble and simply just charge them the cost of the set. Many times installers have been asked to lend / share diamond cores and drilling rigs and this is expensive and time consuming. When a co-worker needs a bit many installers simply either point them to us or give them their kit and go buy another.

There are many many reasons pro installers love and buy from ********* and the PORSADRILL range. The clear advantages of cost, set up, ease of use, time savings are enough to persuade many thousands of installers to come back for more sets - and to recommend them.

Its why our brand is stocked by
1) Travis Perkins
2) Corgi Direct
3) Tile Depot
4) Buy Brand Tools
5) Orbital Fastners
6) CHPS

And many other retailers.

Example of a TRAVIS PERKINS retailer

Of course DIY-ers love us too. The installer who only has one bathroom project to do in his life has access to a simple "all in one" tile drilling solution.
If you only ever plan to do a bathroom or two then this kit works out at a much better price than hiring or buying cores.

1) Pro installers have had equipment stolen from their vans and dont want to (or cant) afford diamond systems at £300+

No matter about the other thousands of pounds of stuff Plumbers need to carry, should we sell off our decent gear and just use Aldi hand tools?

2) Pro installers like the choice to charge out the cost of the drills as a consumable to a job. Average bathroom installation uses approx £3000 worth of porcelain tiles and so at £49.99 the kit gets added as a throw away item to be charged out.

I find it hard to imagine that anyone who does this for a living can afford to write off £50-£100 quids worth of tooling after every job, as Plumbers, we don't buy new cores after every flue/waste install, what a waste of money.

3) Pro installers like the knowlege that they can cost out a job ahead of doing the work and can know for sure their total drilling costs per client.

Yes, that is an advantage, but then again i don't know how long any of my power tools are going to last, but with decent gear you get your moneys worth out of them and the cost is very gradually averaged out over time.

4) Pro installers love the fact we have a full and comprehensive range that can be delivered next day.

The same as most other retailers, a definite advantage in this day and age none the less.

5) Pro installer companies with say 10 tiling teams working on a building site can issue one set per team at £49.99 rather than sharing expensive drilling rigs at £300 per rig.

So in your analogy this company spends £500 every day for the ten teams, so £10,000 a month on throwaway gear, instead of investing in 10 decent rigs, lets say they need to renew this gear on a months basis (you wouldn't in reality) that is only £3000, so a £7000 saving or £84,000 a year this fictional company just write off. That would just be ridiculously bad business practice.

6) Pro installers like the fact they can replace kits either full or in part.

Agree

7) Pro installers like the convenience of having a couple of kits on board that they can lend out to a mate in trouble and simply just charge them the cost of the set.

I don't think you will find any trader who likes lending his tools out, not a single one, certainly not anyone who stocks there van in anticipation of someone else not having a certain tool, not unless they are professional tool salesmen or just plain mental.

There are many many reasons pro installers love and buy from ********* and the PORSADRILL range. The clear advantages of cost, set up, ease of use, time savings are enough to persuade many thousands of installers to come back for more sets - and to recommend them.

The only clear advantages of cost is if you are a DIYer and won't be needing the gear again for another few years, it just is no where near the quality needed for professional use. We as Plumbers want to make a living, that means getting quotes in that are reasonably priced and competitive, binning off tools after every job is not going to achieve this.
