[QUOTE="phil d, post: 482775, member: 27126"] Unless of course you're one of those saddo's who buy's the 'designer' gear, like they used to do with the DeWalt stuff. Incidentally I read a cracking review of some of the cheaper diamond cores in Screwfix, most of the reviews rated them as pretty decent, except one guy, ' I only managed 2 holes with one of the core bits before all the teeth wore down, I don't think they're any good for using in a hammer drill' That one really made me laugh, putting a diamond core on hammer and then moaning about it breaking, lol. I think sometimes economics can come into it as well, say a 'branded' masonry bit drills 100 holes and costs say £6. if a cheaper one drills say 60 holes and costs £1.50 then sometimes it's worth it, especially if there's a chance of hitting a rebar and taking the tip off.
