Vevor Core Drill

[Balvar24]

Anyone owned/used one?

I'm not going to use it to make a living, just drill a few holes.

I know it's not a Hilti.

I was thinking about buying this rig to drill holes in a block building I'll be installing mini-splits in. It's cheaper/easier than renting one or what any of my local core drilling business's would charge. I'm sure people will trash Vevor, but I bought a demolition hammer from them and it's done fine (knock on wood). I've demo'd a lot of concrete with it. I was actually surprised how many accessories it came with and how well it's done based on how cheap it was. Probably like you, I'm not in the business of coring holes or demolishing concrete, so I just need them to last through a renovation. If they do that, they saved me a lot of money and grief of either dealing with picking up and returning a rental or dealing with the bozo's that usually show up (or more often don't show up) when I have to hire something out.

I was considering getting the stand mounted model.

I bought a bluerock(?) On ebay about ten years ago. I've used it a handful of times over the years and it's been good. I'm sure the vevor is similar and will be fine for a few holes here and there. I like good tools and use mine to make money so buy quality most of time but for something I'm only going to use once in a while I'll gamble with some Chinese knock offs. If it fails it fails and I'll decide to get a good one or another cheap one. They pay for themselves pretty fast so don't owe me anything after a few uses.
