Default Core Drills.

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....


Oh yes, I did say to keep all delicate body parts out of the way of the
machine, didn't I? I once got whacked on the cheek (dangerously close to
the eye) by an SDS that snagged. It was only driving a 12mm drill in
brick, too, so I didn't expect it.
