In the mortar or in the brick ?

Just as a matter of interest bunnings have the $100 rotary hammer back in stock again.
A bargin in anyones terms.
I baught one & so did a couple of builder mates.
The seem to work well & come with 3 sds bits and a chisel.
To complete the package , go to trade tools & grab their cheep sds bit set. A fist full of sds drill bits in 3 lengths and 4 chisels for about $50 bucks.

neithe will stand up to the pounding like a hilti or such but for the ocasional user beats grinding away with an ordinary hammer drill.

O btw general comment about ramset drills.
If they used a standard sds bit more people might buy them.
I wouldn't touch one with a barge pole while they persist with a proprietary bit system.

You're absolutely right - more people would use the Ramset drills if they used a generic SDS bit.

And in fact the smallest drill in the range, DD520 2kg hammer will take a generic SDS bit to cater for the small users looking for economy.

However the R3 bit was designed for the industrial user, with reliability and speed a priority. It is extremely fast and long lasting. The key design triples the chuck life of the Ramset tool. Subbies simply can't in any fashion jam the chuck with a SDS bit put in backwards. That all saves the tool owner time and money from less problems and breakdowns on site - at $40 an hour you want to go as fast as you can with no delays.

It is also to my knowledge the only Australian based multifit bit patent on the market =)
