One of the hardest materials, porcelain tiles, has presented many hirers' with drilling problems.
The solution formerly lay in very expensive TCT tipped cutters and elaborate water feed systems. Today it is solved by a gem of nature, in the form of an electroplated, mini diamond core, porcelain drill.
Toolpak offer a full range of mini diamond core porcelain drills for all electrical, plumbing and tiling applications with sizes from 6mm to 40mm. They are extremely easy to use and are ideal for use with cordless drills.
The collection gives hirers additional sales opportunities and includes a professional vacuum suction drill guide to prevent skidding for precise holes every time.
SRBE Hire's Group Buyer Nick Price commented: "These are fantastic drills, popular with our customers. We sell them on the hire and retail side as they offer great add on sales potential. They do exactly as they say on the pack, a hard wearing drill for accurate & precise drilling.”"
A long lifetime means that they present fantastic value for money against other alternatives. Failure to use water will result in premature wear and users should ensure that the cutting edge remains wet at all times to optimise the performance and durability of the diamond rim. Toolpak’s mini diamond core drill body has waste slots for efficient drilling, spoil and slug removal.
A compact mini diamond core porcelain tile drill set, featuring the most popular sizes and a 115mm continuous rim turbo tile blade will be available in June.
