[Masood]

Thinking of buying this:Makita 8406/2 850W 240V Diamond Core Drill | NoLinkingToThis

but happy to be persuaded to buy something else if it gets rave reviews!

Thanks!

I have the same drill (110v) had it 5 years or so now, it's used regularly as a core drill and sometimes to mix adhesive. Still works perfectly.
