Before I pay out I want to make sure you more experienced tilers would do the same

Thanks

As it's a bare unit you'll end up paying £280

It's ok I have the 5ah batteries and a duel charger already sorry should of said but thanks for the heads up. Do you think it will be able to mix wel I don't have any experience with using drills over big mixers

 

[White Room]

Maybe ok for adhesive but I have never used one.

You'll find 18v a bit on the weak side for mixing adhesive imo, 36v is a much better option, but obviously costs more.

If you work a lot on site then invest in Hilti, the technology and performance is incomparable. It's an expence to claim for and it'll make you money!

 

[Matt Bott]

I'll have a look into it cheers leemac so glad i asked I'll deffo go 36v thanks

Surely 110 volt is the way to go for the jobs your asking .

If you rip up floors on a fairly regular basis, a scutch comb is a useful attachment for your sds.

Is there a flexvolt sds available Lee?

Yes Marc there's a 54v option but if I was spending that kind of money I'd go for this as imo it'll last longer due to the quality.

Obviously anyone working commercial all have 110v but cordless options like this are great if you have to move around a site a lot that isn't powered up yet and don't have a generator or maybe have a quick repair to do!

Which one do you recommend, I'll order one.
I bought a 2kg sds plus bosh drill the other month I've not tried it on tile removal duties yet but hoping it will be alright for light work

Using hammer will shorten life of drill

 

[Old Mod]

Make sure it fits an sds and is not hand held haha you would be disappointed
A lot of those on Amazon are handheld.

I've had my makita 240 corded for 8 yrs I've ripped up many floors, drilled countless holes and cored out many 100mm extractors, still going strong!
Until next week now probably! Haha
