[quote=365drills;23170]This is my 14V Boshh and somebody nicked it from the Tile & Stone show (Thieving g**s)


[IMG]http://www.forets-diamant.fr/images/Mode%20d5.jpg[/IMG]

So I replaced it with this Dewalt 14v at £170 with two batteries.

[IMG]http://www.365drills.com/jpgs/br3a.jpg[/IMG]

Yellow is the colour of construction and so I picked Dewalt mostly for the colour match to our drill plates. I was doing a lot of demos and finished some filming for the BBC for a show that will air in December 2007. I thought the yellow would look better.

But in hindsight for overall robustness I miss my old Boshh. It might be a bit dull looking but was a better drill.

My only upside is the stolen Boshh was coming to the end of its life (used every day for 5 years) and was almost knackered. It kept sticking. Whoever took that got something that I had flogged to death.[/quote]I see Richard that you are not protecting the customers expensive grout(with microban anti-bacterial property)from the harmful staining that will occur,when you rip your way through her red clay bisquet tile..............defend yourself plz......and ask me for the perfect solution... it is a Gazzer top tip

Agreed Dh, but ya could say that about Rubi, Rubi, Rubi... Anything that saves time, saves money and stress...

Gradually upgrading, takes years, but good tools are worth every penny...

Probably a stupid question but I don't know the answer... Can you get tile hole cutters for SDS drills? For example does 365's hole cutters fit an SDS? Because SDS drills take different size bits to normal drills right?

I believe you can get adapters for SDS drills that allow you to use standard shank drills.
