hi rich

as dan said, keep the basic bathroom kit that has always worked for the masses (if it aint broke etc)

but ... release the '365 pro series pipe kit'... New for 2011 ??

then you can vamp the kit up to include any size for any sitution, which in itself will appeal to the plumbers?

Over the time i have often bought the bathroom pack and am just looking at the drill pieces i have left and i have 6mm and 8mm unused bits building up.
Would work for me if you just got one 8mm no 6mm and an extra 30mm or a differant size for the loss of two 6mm and one 8 mm

richard what i have found with the plastic template is that it eats into the template no matter how slow i go would a better template be the same thing but made of a more robust material or suckers you put on the tile so the guide is higher hence the diamond core not touching the plastic and not eating into it

We have had comments that the diamond cores wear away the (plastic) drill plate. This was never supposed to be an issue but it seems the drills last longer that they are supposed to. In effect the lifespan of the product is too good !

So the longer you use the drill bits the more you wear the guide plate.

Couple of things about that. If anyone ever needs a spare always email me and I will send to you.
In the box kit we will add extra plates (about three plates) so hopefully there will be more life.

Finally we urge everyone to use the plate for a few seconds only to start the hole then remove it - the core doesnt need the plate to drill the hole.

Remove plate as quickly as possible when drilling

When the hole is this deep

The drill will slot into the socket

Then grab a water cooling sponge and get it underneath the diamond core drill bit
to collect all the tile dust AND to cool it
