Clipacore Quick Release Core Drilling System
The Smarter Way to Core Drill
Stop struggling with seized cores and wasting time with spanners. The Clipacore system is a patented quick-release solution engineered to make professional core drilling faster, safer, and more efficient. Our simple Fit, Clip, Core principle eliminates the biggest on-site frustrations, so you can get the job done without downtime or compromises.
How It Works: The 5-Step Clipacore System
Our revolutionary system is designed for tool-free operation, allowing you to change core bits in seconds.
Step 1: Select Appropriate Adaptor: The process begins at the power tool. A Clipacore Drill Adaptor (QCDA) is fitted to a traditional extension bar or directly to the core drill itself. Alternatively, for a more integrated setup, dedicated HEX or SDS Driver Adaptors can be used to connect the system directly to the drill's chuck.
Step 2 & 3: Line Up Apertures and Secure the Connection: The Drill Adaptor (or extension) is connected to the Core Adaptor with or without an extension bar. All components feature precision-machined apertures that are lined up by sight. A U-shaped Quick Release Clip is then inserted through these apertures by hand, creating a secure, rotation-locked connection. This step completely removes the need for spanners, saving time and preventing the over-tightening that leads to seizing. You can use our Clipacore Extension bar or get an adapter for your own.
Step 4: Screw Diamond Core Bit onto Core Adaptor: The Clipacore Core Adaptor (QCCA) features a standard 1/2" BSP female thread, making it universally compatible with the vast majority of professional diamond core bits on the market. A standard core bit is screwed onto the QCCA, instantly upgrading it for use within the quick-release system.
Step 5: Insert an A-Taper Drill Bit: For precise, centred drilling, the Core Adaptor is designed to accept an A-Taper guide pin or pilot drill bit. This ensures the core bit engages the material exactly where intended, preventing "walking" or skidding at the start of the cut.
Step 6: Core with confidence - Drill your hole. When finished, the components release instantly, preventing seizing.
The Clipacore Advantage: Work Smarter, Not Harder
A Summary of Innovation
The Clipacore ecosystem represents a holistic approach to solving the everyday problems of professional core drilling. It is more than a collection of parts; it is a complete workflow designed to enhance every aspect of the job. The system's primary advantages can be summarized across four key areas:
- Workflow Efficiency: The patented quick-release mechanism delivers a dramatic reduction in downtime. Bit changes that once took minutes of struggling with spanners are now accomplished in seconds, and the complete elimination of seized cores means jobs proceed without interruption.
- Professional Finish: The precision engineering of the components, combined with specialist solutions like the Fluemate Pro and Condensemate Pro, allows for a level of accuracy that was previously difficult to achieve. This results in cleaner installations, no costly damage to building facades, and a higher quality of finished work.
- Equipment Longevity: By providing a safe and non-destructive method for waste removal via the Knock Out Tool, the system actively protects a professional's investment in their expensive diamond core bits, extending their service life and delivering better long-term value.
- Enhanced On-Site Safety: The removal of spanners and the violent forces often required to use them mitigates a common source of hand injuries. Furthermore, the controlled, guided nature of the drilling process, especially with the specialist kits, reduces the overall risk associated with the task.
Ultimately, the Clipacore system is an investment in a smarter, faster, and safer way of working. It empowers the professional tradesperson to deliver higher quality work with greater efficiency and confidence.
