Why choose a diamond core drill?

A diamond core drill offers much higher levels of power, accuracy and efficiency than other drill types. Its diamond-tipped core bit and rotary action make it the ideal tool for creating clean holes in tough materials like concrete and brick. This means it’s a great choice for installing fixtures or anchoring bolts. It’s the drill of choice when you need accuracy, precision, and a smooth finish. 

You can use a diamond core drill for a broad range of applications, from installing HVAC systems — it can cut through concrete easily to create duct passages — to securing structural bolts. 

So whether you need to make precision openings in concrete walls and floors for plumbing access points or ensure accurate masonry holes for electrical wiring, a reliable diamond core drill will get the job done.
