ATS hole cutters..

[Concrete guy]

They are great drills, I've got a 120mm which I haven't tried yet. I lent one of the smaller ones to a plumber on site, he did 24 holes dry through some ceramics then plasterboard and didn't stop until the ply at the back started burning, it was still like new!

That must have been a soft wall ceramic. 24 holes dry is some going.

Out of the 35mm hole cutter i got first time round Al . i have cut around 50 holes in porcelain G5 wet and approx 30 holes in ceramic and travertine dry... and it is still cutting into porcelain tiles no probs.. but i promise you i will KILL it one day :lol: but for a couple quid they cost , it is very good money well spent..

How does ATS make any money selling a low cost product that lasts forever? :lol:

Why is the link gone?!
Seems daft having I thread singing the praises of a product and then censoring. Why make us have to search?? 😕

Just google the company name and there's a link to his ebay shop.

Just PM the guy and ask for the link or something. He shouldn't be posting links like that in threads and he does know that.

It's actually an interesting question.

In most cases many of these drills are bought for a single use, then put in a toolbox/shelf/draw etc etc and probably never see the light of day again.

We do have a reasonable amount of repeat business and wholesale business so we sell thousands of bits every month.

All these £1's and £2's add up to a lot over the year.

the grinder blades are good too

Just to narrow down Gary's quote a little. He mostly uses our Porcelain Turbo Blades and occasionally the vacuum brazed cut anything blade.

The turbo flanges have turned out to be a good alternative to the branded blades, it also hurts the pocket less if you drop the grinder and bend the blade.
