Why Brushless Technology Matters
– More Power, Less Heat: Brushless motors eliminate friction caused by brushes, delivering higher efficiency and cooler operation.
– Longer Tool Life: Reduced wear and tear means your tools last longer and perform better over time.

With a shared battery platform across the range, ergonomic design, and uncompromising build quality, the Dargan 18V series offers convenience and confidence for every task.
Niall went on to say “As an already premium supplier of own brand hand tools, moving into power tools was the next logical step for us.

Clipacore’s Quick-Release Core Drills: Faster, safer, smarter
Carl Kammerling International Ltd (CKI) has relaunched its Clipacore range, transforming core drilling with the patented Fit>Clip>Core system. Designed for speed, safety, and simplicity, this innovative and patented system connects the drill, adapter, and core in seconds – saving professionals valuable time while reducing risk on the job.
Core drilling through walls and solid materials is often frustrating and hazardous. Drill bits can get stuck, extensions can jam, and ejecting the core waste can be slow and awkward. These common challenges increase risk, slow down projects, and make even routine jobs more stressful. Clipacore’s clever clip system removes these obstacles, letting users fit, clip, and core in seconds and get back to work faster.
The refreshed range includes multiple adaptors that screw onto drills or extension bars and slot securely with the core bit. A simple clip locks everything in place and can be removed effortlessly by hand – no tools required. This approach not only speeds up every job, but also prolongs tool lifespan, reduces the risk of injury, and removes the frustration that often comes with core drilling.
“When we acquired Clipacore in 2023, we recognised its potential to revolutionise the plumbing, heating, and HVAC industries,” said Joshua Meyerratken, Brand Executive at CKI. “This refreshed range saves time, increases safety, and removes the common frustrations that professionals face on site. It’s a must-have solution for anyone looking to work smarter, faster, and more efficiently.”
The refreshed Clipacore range is now available from CKI and plumbing specialist Nerrad Tools Ltd. Discover the new Clipacore range at www.clipacore.com and experience core drilling made effortless – every job, every time.
Armeg Launch New Sheffield Made Impact Masonry Drill Bits
Since Armeg introduced their Twister Impact Masonry® drill bits last year, they have been a resounding success. Designed from the ground up for Impact Drivers with a specially engineered SQS Super Quick Spiral® flute which utilises the machine’s high rotational speed to rapidly clear spoil and deliver maximum drilling efficiency.
Crucially, the same Impact Driver can then also be used for driving screws and fixings – allowing the user to Drill. Swap. Drive – especially useful when working at height.
A depth-stop and carefully chosen size range to suit popular industry fixings make the range both application and installation specific.
Two further ‘Impact Masonry’ drill bits have just been added to the range.
Firstly, the Twister Impact Masonry XL®. This is another impact-rated bit featuring SQS flute technology, but with a longer 110mm working length for through-fixture drilling. Although designed for masonry use, these bits have multi-material capabilities, so a wooden baton can be held to masonry and the drill bit makes short work of both materials before then securely driving the baton with a frame-fixing.
Secondly, in answer to demands for a depth-stop drill bit suitable for hard materials such as concrete and engineering brick, new Impact Masonry Plus® bits bring Super Quick Spiral flute technology to SDS and hammer action drilling. SDS Reinvented!
These innovative, game-changing bits are made in Armeg’s own factory on the outskirts of Sheffield and are sold in FSC certified sustainable packs.
