CORE DRILL Model 4Z1 2-SPEED CONCRETE CORING DRILL by BLUEROCK TOOLS

I thought about renting a drill and I am so glad I did not because first of all this drill was almost the same price as renting one, second of all, after I drilled two 2.5″ holes 7 inches thick horizontally I am really glad I did not rent one because I would have had to rent it twice as long as I thought it would take. This drill does not cut slow compared to others but when you only cut holes every few years it takes longer than you think. I was tired after the first hole and after the second hole I had to wait a couple days before I felt like drilling the other small ones so just after a few holes this drill has paid for itself and now I own it. I caught a long bit on it a couple times and I was worried that the delay in the clutch would catch me off guard but six inches deep and bound up did not twist my arms or wrists like I thought it would. I am 5′ 10″ tall at a stout and strong 175 and I could handle the catch in this drill pretty good. I have not hit any re-bar and I have been told that that is what causes the most damage but I did bind this drill up pretty good and once I even bound it up by trying to untie the kinked water line with my left hand as my right hand took the entire force of the bit catching (didn’t twist my right hand like I thought it would and was a long ways away from breaking my hand or wrist)I almost gave this 4 stars because the crappy plastic water connection that comes with this drill has to be replaced first thing with a brass one that won’t leak. I had one on hand and if you don’t care about water leaking then this drill is a great deal. If you do care about too much water in places you don’t want then be prepared and buy a garden hose adapter made out of brass and replace the one this drill comes with before you start drilling . all in all 5 stars.
