Thermo said:go into b&q/homebase etc and see how many of the real cheapies dont have a clutch.
but more importantly it has plenty Torque to do cores
how much value do you put on body parts/time off due to injury?You can't go wrong at that price.

Thermo said:dont see any mention of a clutch on this one, or in the manual. it even has a warning about what happens when the drill bit snarls up

Joe? He's obviously well developed in that areadeefa said:Who is gonna use a 6kg hammer for coring they run to slow
...and spend the spare money on critical injury insurance.confused 2 said:If it is only to cut 2 holes its a no brainer, buy a cheap one.
Do you have any advice for the OP?Agile said:I bought one of those cheap 6 KG drills from B&Q.
It drilled one core hole and then the cogs failed. So did the SDS/chuck bit as well so although it was only about £29 it did not last very long.
Most core holes I have made over last five years have been with a non-clutch 600w domestic style drill with a little known name. It does jam sometimes but I have very strong wrists and hold it clear of my face.
