The good news is drilling and boring is one of the areas where you can easily gain in quality, cleanliness and speed.
How can you be more efficient on jobs that require you to create openings? Let’s take a look.
Our pro advice
Percussion drilling is old news...
To install kitchen waste pipes, extractor fans or boiler flues, you must drill!
But often, when not using the right tool for the job, you’ll find the drilling is not precise, cracks and fractures appear at the opening and exit of the hole. It’s not clean and neat… and every renovation professional knows that the quality of their work is their main calling card!
We understand, your percussion drill bit is like an old friend, but the problem is that even if it’s adaptable to all sorts of materials (concrete, brick, plaster…), it isn’t up to producing quality work and the drilling depth and diameter is severely limited.
