Problem is, if you don't use a device with a safety clutch, and that core decides to jam, you can say goodbye to your wrists. I don't even want to think what would happen if you were up a ladder at the time :dead:I've thought about it several times but finally decided that my SDS drill is more than up to the job. And even with the general abuse it gets chiselling and sinking boxes its lasted years, so when it does die I think it works out much cheaper to buy a new SDS. Unless you're drilling lots of 100mm+ holes that is.

Of course ladders are only to be used for access, and not for actual working :wink_smile:
makita are very good had 1 for years,quick tip for you when coring, drill straight through wall with a long bit same size as pilot on core then send core in much easier than letting pilot drill make its own hole,pilot bit runs through predrilled hole and keeps core central.Ended up with the makita 8406C 1400w 2 speed, next modle up from the 8406, looks a decent enough peice of kit.
Cheers
