Which M Class dust extractor

[markadams]

Hi,

I after opinions on which M Class dust extractor is better for chasing and coreing holes.

I have narrowed it down to either the Bosch GAS35 AFC or the Metabo ASR35.

Any one used them both?

I wish I could edit my post after noticing the errors (this would be useful). Anyway, which one did you prefer and what were the pros and cons?

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I have the Metabo ASR35 and it's a very good extractor, would highly recommend it.

Have you ever used the Bosch machine? They are both around the same price which makes the decision difficult as they both look good machines.

The Metabo seems to only connect to Metabo tools? maybe is has adaptors?

I've got the Bosch, have used it regularly over the years with no issues whatsoever. Used it mainly coupled up with the Bosch wall chaser.

Don't have anything to compare it to but I would highly recommend it, my only gripe (if I'm being very picky) would be that it takes up quite a bit of space in the van once the hose is wrapped around the extractor itself - think it's only the Festool Midi which doesn't have this issue mind.

Thank you for the reply, I was all set to buy the Bosch Dust extractor so I called the local supplier and explained what I would use it for (core drilling and Wall chasing) and he said that it is no use for that and it doesnt cope very well with fine brick and concrete dust, he said it rips up the bags and blocks the filters. Great I thought they were designed for this purpose??

I have no idea what to get now? I still dont know if the Metabo machine is any better?

I have the Dewalt DVM902, just over 3 years, still original filters, no bags needed, ive mine set up with a tray on top, cost £15 and a T stak box locks in to it, so i use that to keep my metabo chaser in, easy to wheel gearvin and out of a job, and a bungee cord keeps the lot in place in the van, apart from that i just found it much better than the metabo the mate has, never tried Bosch, Hilti ones are very good too.

I've got a Metabo though not sure if it's the same model. Great bit of kit with useful functions. Great suction. Reliable -5 years of very regular use for rewires (at least half my business is rewires) and no issues yet. Downsides, emptying it can get dusty if your not careful, it's fairly heavy (but not unmanageable).
