cores: the 100mm wasn't too bad. On clutch-less machines you're forever
fighting the kick when it snags. A lower-powered machine is easier to
handle in this respect! None of the SDS-es had variable speed control.

I had to smile the other day, walking back to the car in a multi-story
car park there were a couple of bods from a specialist diamond drilling
firm, sticking what looked like a deep 2" core into a re-enforced
masonry wall - about 2" off the ground. Your main drill man was knelt
with one knee either side of the drill, and the side handle just poised
to take a side swipe at his gonads on the first snag....

I did not stay to watch!
