it does't say whether it has a clutch, you need a clutch for core drilling unless you like to tumble round the room  |

Very good point! Not sure if it does Tom. I have experienced that tumbling and it's not fun!!  |

It is but something I've never fully understood because I have a green (diy) bosch drill before I got my titan. And that green drill doesn't say anywhere there is a clutch. BUT when I was core drilling through cavity walls last summer and I'd hit a rough patch the handle wouldn't fly around - it was steady and you'd hear a noise like a clutch slipping. Does that mean it actually does have a clutch? If so I don't know why they don't advertise it - maybe to keep the blue (pro) bosh owners happy (!) |

Sounds like it has a clutch DD, I would think all the modern ones would have them with today's H&S standards. Back in the 70s we had a "Torna" hammer drill it saved a lot of hard work but it didn't have a clutch (they was probably not invented then) and would/did cause bad injuries to it's operators. A fearful weapon who's noise still scares the shit out of me  . |

It was actually a green bosch one that spun around on me years ago when it got jammed in a block, nearly pulled my fourth finger away. I'd say they're all safer nowadays. I'd borrowed that one. It was probably bought in the 80s or 90s. |

it does't say whether it has a clutch, you need a clutch for core drilling unless you like to tumble round the room Saw this one in the Aldi magazine few days ago, and it says it does have a clutch. Looks great value, and if ordered from their website they deliver it free.
Is this one man enough for flue cores and cores of that size? Says in the details it will drill concrete up to 32mm diameter. So I'm supposing that something softer like ordinary brick or stone will be ok with bigger cores.

That's the one Arfur, you pushed the hex drill bits down it's snout the they was locked in place with that metal lock piece on the front.
The tightfisted gaffer I was working for back then would try and sharpen them up with a file but they was as blunt as fuck and it made it almost impossible to get a good hole without the bricks cracking!
I remembering it took chisels as well.

But they don't specify if that's a drill bit or core. I suppose that's the max for a drill bit, and if coring, you can do a much bigger hole. |
