core drills

[woodytheplumber]

had a bit of a clear out of the garage I had a fair few core drills in there as I kept buying new (second hand ones) that I thought worked better than my last one I have now only got my Milwaukee with the soft hammer and I find this is the best core drill I have used I have the odd Milwaukee 12v drill and a torch thingy and they are as good as anything else but this core dill is in a league of its own well worth the £450 so if anyone is in need of one I can highly recommend it!

I LOVE my milwaukee kit, and have used the milwaukee core drill quite abit.
btw you can get them for £375 ! You've been cheated!!

i got myself a marcrist ddm1 and have found it to....actually be....better.....than....the milwaukee.....

i can only imagine how much better the ddm3 is !!!

I got mine direct from millwaukee or so I thought and better as in faster?? I love the soft hammer function

Here you go
4002395232628 493368705 4933368705 2 Speed Dry Diamond Core Drill 240v

Milwaukee don't sell direct?
they have a vendor called Maintenance

that sells them with a silly mark up.
thats a £75 quid difference.

i found the marcrist to be about the same speed as with the soft hammer on the milwaukee.
but slightly more comfortable

the marcrist has a hammer mode too but you have to use special percussion cores which are supposed to be faster

 

[woodytheplumber]

it might have been that vendor then it certainly looks like Milwaukee direct to the untrained eye and ah I to be honest just use cheep cores I usually buy them £100 cases use 3 or 4 of them and throw the spares that I havnt used in a box in the garage

I have to say I have been left hugely un impressed by the ddm1 everyone talked it up and I'd say it's not massively better then the 8406.

maybe I was expecting too much, maybe mine is faulty either way I'm just not thrilled when I get it out to play

DDm2 for me.

What is the difference between the DDM1 and DDM2? I will soon be in the market for a drill to use with my Marcrist dry cores.
