slow drill

[naughtyboy]

need to get a slow running drill for hole cutting in thick steel.
my old one as packed up but then it was my grandads and he got it in 50s.
i know it as a gut buster and it only as one speed which is slow but got lot of torque.
can any point in right direction for a new one pls even if its the correct name for it.

Sounds like you need a mag drill?

just had a look on the bay its not a mag drill.
it looks like a normal drill except grip is at back instead pistol type.

I'd replace that with a mag drill.....saw a lad almost broke his wrist on something similar as an apprentice,mag drills are almost civilised

There are modern versions, sold as core drills, most of the big names make them, or you can go for a proper gut buster Bosch make them.

"gut buster" : also known as a D-handle or a spade-handle drill.
