one at +AKM-30 going for +AKM-15 at the moment.


Doesn't that strike you as just a teeny bit suspicious? Could there
possibly be a reason why they are selling them so cheap?

Definitely. But I have to cut a trench in the concrete floor of my garage
and destroying one of these disposable items doing it rather than wearing
out my DeWalt seems a good move.

I just used my 17 quid 'Challenge' SDS drill to cut a 50mm (core)
drill hole through an 18" external office building wall. It was heavy
and did get hot after a while (so I gave both of us a rest) but it did
it and was probably cheaper than the core drill bit!

I'd love the Hilti (sp?) the 'Sparks' was using but I noticed the
front handle had broken where the plastic part goes round the 'nose'
of the drill. My Challenge has a steel part .. ;-)

All the best
