    Another one for the titan.

    £50 and it still has not died despite of all the work I have made it do in the last year... At this rate I will not be able to return for a replacement :)
  • For this job I'd hire the one you linked to.

    If I was buying then it would be a Bosch Blue

    With regard's ALL of the above. As yet nobody has ascertained whether it is lime or hardwall of sand & cement plaster that is being removed and yes it would make a deferens regarding drill choice

    Hi everyone,

    I need to hack off about 40 metres of plaster up to 1.2m and then drill holes in the brick mortar all the way round (I'm damp proofing and doing this bit of the job myself saves me over £500!)


    Looks like it's plaster....

    Agreed, hardwall would a royal pita, but the op has stated plaster.... Yes, we've been there done both.

    And there's no need for disrespect, decent tradespeople show a little more decorum to one another.
