Have no idea what these are like, chinese made but i guess for 'lighter' duty work might be alright. Then let me know!

I was wondering about those ones.
I bought a concrete vibrator from that mob a year or so back and it works and was good value (for the price). It's had some pretty tough times. The shaft of the thing wore out, so they offered me either a 5% rebate (no thanks) or a replacement shaft, for me to fit myself. Air filter fell off it (duct tape fixed that). I tend to think their mag drill would also be shabby, but in the end would probably get the job done as well as anything twice the price.
$270?

$273. oo :C

in fairness, at the price it's almost worth using for the one job I have, but fishing for a quality one which will eject the slug after boring and work into the future. I wonder if this one does?

also saw a guy fab a drill stand for his in his workshop. could be good?

those low profile ones could be handy too?

Wait, before buying make sure you can mount annular hole cutters to it. It says it's MT2 and comes with a regular drill chuck and then further down..

Suitable for 12-23mm broaching tools and fittings (not included - visit your local tool store specialist)

So you might need to buy the mt2 broach adapter which would add a significant cost to it.

May be too far away to be any good.
