A Hilti and Bosch Alternative for Core Drilling Machines
Hilti and Bosch are big names in the equipment world, and many technicians look for them when they think about buying a core drill. The real question is not “which brand is more famous?” but “what will keep my work going without stopping, at the lowest long-term cost?”. Here is a practical comparison based on our experience in core drilling only since 2005.
The practical comparison
| Item | Global-brand machines | Original Oubao and Cayken from Diamond House |
|---|---|---|
| Price | Much higher for the same drilling size | The best value for money, with trade prices for dealers |
| Spare parts in Egypt | Depends on the agent’s stock and import times | Always in stock with us, and maintenance by core drilling specialists |
| Downtime during maintenance | Ask the agent about their replacement policy | A free replacement machine during maintenance within one year of purchase – your work never stops |
| Safety system | Depends on the model | Safety Clutch on every original Oubao and Cayken machine |
| Shipping and supply | Depends on the agent | Fast shipping across Egypt and worldwide |
The right alternative for your work
- Small openings, handheld: Oubao 110 and 160 handheld core drills.
- Gas, plumbing and HVAC work from 2 to 7 inch: the Oubao 8 inch OB-205 or the Cayken 8 inch SCY-2050.
- Core drilling companies and large openings: Cayken 10, 12 and 14 inch, built from higher-grade materials for heavy daily work.
Core bits are the other half of the equation
The most expensive machine won’t make a difference if the bit is slow or its segments wear out quickly. We offer core bits in every size with high cutting speed and a large number of holes, plus a segment fitting service that saves you the cost of a new bit.
