I use the 8406,,, it's a decent drill and the clutch works really well... does 4" and 5" holes without problem

I didn't think clutches were good for core drilling?

you wont be saying that if you have ever core drilled something and its caught onto something and almost thrown you around

So does mine

First time it operated I thought I had stripped the gears in it's gearbox. I don't recall it claiming to have a clutch.

I thought clutches were specifically designated for core drilling, like Andy says you dont want one of them catching.

Having said that, my milwaukee drill driver about broke my wrist with one of them Armeg solid floor cutters in chipboard flooring, bloody thing

I must be mistaken then. Whenever I have used a clutched drill it just keeps slipping. I am pretty sure all the professional core drilling machines don't have clutches either.

Nope, they have a clutch. They are just set higher than your average 2kg SDS.

I have to tighten my clutch on my Makita 8406 this weekend, it slips if you so much as look at it!

 

[Essex1]

Would not even know where to start on that.

Your wrists need calibrating
