He could be entitled to some compo if that's the case.

He should have read the instructions

He is employed Geordie with mortgage and kids , could be out for 2 months pending scan and operation . He is not sure where he stands on claiming but will definitely be pursuing someone

I use the Dewalt one all the time for 4 and 6 inch holes. It weighs a ton. Preferably get the drilling frame also so you dont have to hold the drill, but you do have to bolt the frame to the wall. With the drill, frame, cutters and extensions I doubt you'll get much change out of £1500. As others have said, it might be cheaper to hire in a diamond drilling company.

I've had a makita for years still works fine.
its the most uncomfortable drill to hold in the fleet though.
i saw a Marcrist one last week that looked ok.
if your flush I would recommend flex core drills. Total beast.

In my view the supplier of the equipment has a duty of care towards the customer and when the customer has specified what he needs and the supplier has supplied something different and which has caused injury to the customer then he has breached that duty of care.

Probably not but it's the truth. It is my first trade and I served a 6 year apprenticeship and have the paperwork (indentures) to prove it.
