    At the moment the cores are £65.99 each And once purchased last a very long time!


    £65.99 each

    However as you know the online discount is 10% taking them to £59.99

    As it currently stands with forum members we can offer discounts of up to 20%. This is because you are professional installers and we work with you for the long term with repeat sales.

    Now for the best bit: At the moment we are busy changing our stock over from one style to another for the retail market.

    IF YOU WANT A BARGAIN - NOW IS THE TIME TO ACT

    We have been told to enhance our brand so it will begin to look like this within the next few months.....



    The bigger retailers are demanding a "better looking" product. So we are going through a process of tarting the drills up with powder coating and lazer etching.


    Above will be the new look brand.

    We have a substantial amount of the larger size drills in the old style silver paint. As a special deal to clear our silver paint crowns I am prepared to accept offers much less than £65.99. Remember these silver drills are exactly the same as the black powder coat, they do the same job, and have a superb lifespan.

    If you e-mail me with the sizes you want plus a good offer then for a limited time we will consider them.

    Please note that in future the new look drills are exactly the same drills just in a jacket of powder coating. As a professional installer I know you wont care what they look like - just as long as they work. But the retail market is a fickle machine and we have to pander to their demands. Our long term marketing strategy is to see these stocked at B&Q, Homebase, Focus, Worsley, PTS etc etc.

    My advice is to grab a bargain while we still carry this silver stock range.

    Any offers for larger drills emailed to richard@365drills.com will be considered.


    Or just call me on 01992 410636 at any time and tell me what you need.

    Finally even when the powder coated black and gold drills are in full circulation you WILL STILL enjoy favourable discounts of up to 20% off.

    Please note this offer does not apply to the BFKMX or 6mm or 8mm drills. Thats because the prices are already very low, plus we need to retain a lot of stock for both the Ideal Home Show (25 days) plus a national advert going out in the Sun Newspaper in February to 3 million readers.
