Which Weka Core Drill is Right for You?

All three Weka models—DK12, DK13, and DK16—are rated for coring up to 3" in diameter when used handheld, and up to 6" when mounted to a rig. If portability and ease of use matter most, the Weka DK12 is our most popular choice for contractors needing a lightweight, wet-use drill with three-speed power and thermal overload protection. The DK13 offers the added versatility of both wet and dry coring, making it ideal for professionals who encounter varied job conditions. The DK16, with its higher amperage and electronic overload system, is the go-to for heavy-duty users who want a rig-compatible tool with serious torque. Your decision should come down to how often you're coring, the size of your holes, and how portable or powerful you need the machine to be on-site.

Weka DK12: Lightweight, reliable, and rated for handheld wet drilling up to 3"—perfect for lighter-duty pros and fence installers. Best option if using generator-based power.
Weka DK13: Versatile for both wet and dry use, coring up to 3" handheld—ideal for small contractors and concrete crews.
Weka DK16: Built for serious drilling—handheld up to 3", rig-mounted up to 6"—perfect for pros needing max power and precision.

What Real Pros Are Saying About Weka Core Drills

★★★★★

Awesome Machine – Often takes longer to set up/breakdown than actually drilling

concretemike (Verified Purchase - Diamond Products)

Used these machines for years at a previous company. When I started my own company, it was at the top of my list on 1st year purchases. Great machine, will pay for itself quickly. The instructions say handheld up to 3” and on a stand up to 6”… I can tell you I’ve been using this for years BEFORE reading that, and I had much bigger bits without issue. The clutch is a lifesaver and makes this a safe machine for precarious positions as well. Yes, I’ve used this on an A-frame. If you’re a well-versed trade professional, you should be fine with this tool. Careful giving this out to the apprentices—they’ll burn up your clutch quickly. The tool will last, but I’ve seen some guys burn them up as well. Keep that in mind.

★★★★★

These are the tools pros use!

tillamooktim (Verified Buyer - Diamond Products)

I own two of these drills and I'm here to tell you they are great. I do stone coring—granite is my rock of choice, it's not called the rock of ages for nothing. These tools have a soft start and when hand drilling that is a real plus. They have the power to drill down 15 inches in solid rock turning a 3" bit when being hand held. You will not be unhappy with this tool. I tried some other cheaper tools and just burned them up in no time—it's just not worth the hassle to go with the cheap stuff when your life depends on tools. The Germans make some great stuff and this tool is no exception.

★★★★★

This bit’s a beast.

cjobsite71 (Verified Buyer – ConcreteToolsDirect.com)

I’ve been drilling concrete for years and honestly didn’t expect much—figured it’d be like the rest. But this thing chews through cured concrete and rebar like it’s nothing. Clean holes, no wobble, and it actually lasts. I’ve burned through way more expensive bits that didn’t hold up like this. Definitely keeping this one in the trailer from now on.

Models like the Weka DK13 are frequently chosen by professionals across construction, utility, and fencing sectors who need reliability and control under pressure. Their ergonomic design reduces fatigue, and their wet and dry versatility (in the DK13) lets you handle changing job site conditions with confidence.

FAQs About Hand Held Core Drills

What is the best hand held core drill for professionals?

The Weka DK13 is a top pick among professionals who need handheld precision with versatile wet/dry capability. It delivers up to 3" core drilling performance when handheld and shines on jobs like fence post setting, railing installs, and utility work. It's the go-to tool when you need reliable, pro-grade performance in a portable package.

Is a hand held core drill better than a rig-mounted drill?

One isn’t necessarily better than the other—it depends on the job. Working environment, material thickness, operator experience, and bit size all matter. If you’re buying a core drill for ongoing use, your best bet is to choose a model that can do both: handheld for flexibility, and rig-mounted for precision and power. That’s exactly what the Weka DK series offers.

If you're drilling holes up to 3" in diameter and want freedom to work in tight spaces or overhead, a hand held core drill like the DK12 is ideal. However, for anything larger—or for repetitive drilling where alignment and safety are critical—a rig-mounted setup like the Weka DK16 paired with an M3 or M4 rig is the safer and more efficient choice.

What’s the difference between the Weka DK12, DK13, and DK16?

Each model is rated for handheld coring up to 3" and rig-mounted use up to 6", with key differences in power and flexibility:

DK12: Wet-only, 14-amp motor – most compact and popular with fence contractors and pool installers.
DK13: Wet and dry, 14-amp motor – ideal for mixed job site conditions and contractors needing versatility.
DK16: Wet-only, 19-amp motor – more torque and power for demanding, rig-mounted concrete drilling.

Can I use a Weka drill for reinforced concrete and other tough materials?

Yes—when paired with the Core Bore Heavy Duty Orange Wet Segmented Core Bit, Weka drills like the DK12, DK13, and DK16 are engineered to handle a wide range of demanding materials. This high-performance bit is optimized for cured concrete, river rock aggregates, and projects with light to moderate reinforcement such as rebar. Designed for wet drilling, it delivers longer life, excellent footage, and fast drilling speeds in even the toughest conditions.

Whether you're working on structural penetrations, fence post installs, or utility access, this bit is trusted by pros for its ability to power through hard materials while minimizing downtime. Always use a water-cooled setup to reduce heat and extend bit life when coring reinforced or dense concrete.

Why is this Weka core drill offer better than others?

You're getting a premium drill plus a free premium core bit worth up to $450—and you're paying NO SALES TAX (excluding TX). No other retailer bundles a name-brand bit with Weka's proven performance and ships it fast across the U.S. This is a rare combination of value, availability, and pro-grade quality.

Can I use a 4” or 6” core bit with a handheld Weka drill?

Yes, but not handheld—only when mounted to a rig. All Weka core drills (DK12, DK13, DK16) are rated for up to 3” diameter bits in handheld use. If you need to drill 4” to 6” holes, the drill must be securely mounted to a rig like the M3 or M4. Operating with larger bits by hand exceeds safe RPM limits and increases the risk of injury or motor overload. For safety, power, and precision, rig-mounted coring is essential for those larger diameters.
