it has flutes but designed to clear the chips

you could probably use a router bit in a drill press with the target piece firmly clamped.

Got caught with one of those near 5 star reviews on an unknown brand multi-meter a couple of years ago...never again.

For a little more you can get the D-Handle Milwaukee or variants of the Makita Pistol Grip SDS locally...not as powerful as that one but good enough for the home owner. SSL also has stock of the "Latin market" Makita SDS/Angle grinder combo for around $ 1500 if it's value you're looking for.

You mean the extension? Bhagwansinghs or Penta colour shops is where I last saw them...

I bought this from Sherwin Williams in Montrose. Infinity Electrical in Couva also had these telescopic ones a while back. Extends from 6.2 feet, to 10.8 feet. Can't remember the exact price though.

I have never seen one locally. You want to look for a replacement metal ferrule.

If you can find a janitorial supply they should have them for brooms and window washing equipment.

^ good luck wit that

I used this to 'rub down' some concrete walls after plastering and wow!

Beats the concrete block method anyday
The 120 grit is perfect for it as well

I use a corded sander/polisher with a 7" masonry grinding wheel. It works great for removing high spots or squaring window and door openings, also.

Wheels cost about $20 and last a long time. You can get the whole setup for about $500 depending on what you spend on the sander/polisher.

Compared to $300 to $400, I say give it a try.

I've seen many no-name power tools on Amazon with 4+ star ratings. Even if some reviews are fake, some of the worst reviews given are still 3-stars.

The Chinese contractors at the Arima and Couva hospitals weren't using any Milwaukee tools that I could see.

Might purchase this one
Should be around 1300 landed

What size holes you doing? This style tends to be heavy for shipping. The regular "drill shaped" ones have enough power for up to 3/4 inch holes. I used a harbour freight one once and honestly I couldn't tell if was not a big brand name.

Struggler has an interesting point. Take a look at the product specifications for shipping weight. The difference is probably about 10 pounds or so.
