I'll admit to using hammer action. Maybe I need to upgrade my old Makita as no hammer action = zero progress.

have used hole cutting kits from plasplugs but they are quite difficult to get hold of.

Plasplugs went bankrupt and then restarted. So you might find some inconsistency with supply.

Their diamond cores also have a flaw with the water tank. You cant use the same water tank on the wall as you use on a floor tile. So you have to buy 2 x the same size.

Our cores provide good value for money and form a perfect hole.

News Alert to professional tilers: Our bundle price of 8 cores for £49.99 works out at a credit crunch busting £6.25 per core if you buy a pack of 6mm and a pack of 8mm of these tool box essentials.

365Drills PORSADRILL Brand Will last for AGES.

In contrast the Plasplugs cores work out at about £15.53 each (source - Choicefull.com 9/7/2010) so 8 cores would set you back £124.24

That is £74.25 more expensive than 365drills Porsadrill £49.99 for 8 cores.
And thats if you can find them.

365Drills are a healthy financial company trading well and exporting all over the world from Worksop with UK jobs. We enjoy providing professional installers and tilers with fantastic value for money and robust equipment able to stand up to porcelain tiles - so perfect on ceramics.

This is the latest 8 minute informational video showing the full kit
which contains larger cores for service pipes as well as the smaller
6mm and 8mm cores for drilling holes to fit rawl plug sizes.
