OK we have a new tile drill in development for 2012 onwards in the 6mm and 8mm size.

Feedback from tilers has been that they want more lifespan from their cores.

So we want to recruit twenty tilers from this forum to take this new product FREE and to give us feedback.

At the moment the pack concept looks like this.

And it will contain a single drill plus a guide plate and water cooling sponge.

Pack will include the water sponge.

We then want you to test the core and let us know how its performing in real world situations.

If you are a genuine tilers forum member (we will look at your postings numbers) and would like to get involved then we will take care of everything.

It will not cost you a penny.

We also need a name for the product.
So far we are 365Drills and we produce PORSADRILL.

But we were looking for a nifty name for this little black drill. So far the name board is (in no particular order)

Black Chilli
Black Hole
Saw Core
Hardcore
Max RPM
Cool Core
Super Core
365Max
Turbo Core
Cool Core
Black Bullet
Black Diamond
Diamond Extreme
Shark Bit
Shark Core
Diamond Shark
Black Shark
Galaxy grinder
Atom Bomb
Ultra Core
Porsablack
Particle Core
Vaporisor
Black laser
Sniper drill
Diamond Storm
Black Heart
Mach 365
Vampire Bite
Razabit
Delta Core
Rock Hard
===========

If you would like to take part in the testing then just reply and we will contact you for your name and address.


On arrival to your home the testing kit will not look 100% perfect in the packaging but we will try our best to simulate the finished pack as best we can so that when it arrives to you then
part of your feeback can be on how it looks.

In future we will probably strip down the bathroom fitters kit so that the prices are all £29.99.
So you would get the big cores at 16mm, 30mm and 40mm cores for £29.99
A single 6mm drill for £29.99
A single 8mm drill for £29.99
Total value of the three packs would be about £89.97 with a discount of buy any two and get the third pack free so it would work out £59.98
This is just to help the testers to see if there is the right value for money.

We expect to have this all put together for you guys by 12th December so there is a couple of weeks. If we can have your feedbacks by end of Jan 2012 that would be great because we would want to launch it commercially by Feb 2012.

Also dont worry the main best seller the Bathroom Fitters Kit
it will STILL BE SOLD and it will still be £49.99. We are not scrapping it!

We will STILL continue to sell the popular value for money kit above.

But at the moment we intend to create another set by removing the 6mm and 8mm from it to create another set of just the service pipes for £29.99
These are the ones at the bottom of the pack and then combining the other 6mm and 8mm cores.

Hope that all makes sense and please let us know what you think should be the ultimate product name.

Well done Brian you are Tester number 15. For the moment the message is do nothing.
At the end of this thread when we have assembled our full team I will make contact with everyone by PM.
We will be ready to roll this out as I said more towards Christmas so I am not expecting fast results.
But I am hoping to get the feedback by end Jan.
Hang fire for now and I will be in contact with everyone once we have our crew !

Hi richard ,i would like to test out your new bits and would offer feedback from at least 10 tilers the minimum amount of tilers from the company i would let use them that way you would get positive or negative feedback from a few established tilers(at least 10 years experience) and i know that if they are as good as i know they are the guy i subbie for will buy them as he is still spending a fortune on rubi bits which to be honest dont cut nowt but ceramics.

nice offer MZ30. I think getting feedback from the forum members is initially how we want to play it at the moment so that we can get the widest individual views to begin with. If its necessary to roll it out further for example to get a group test from (as you say) ten installers all from the same company then your offer will be seriously considered. I would like to start with the twenty random members here and see what the initial feedback is. For example it may be a total disaster!! so in that case we wont continue with developing the product it will just get canned.

I think it wont take long (less than 2 months) to get this part sorted.
