3. A drill that kept slipping into hammer mode when
drilling wood or metal!
I have an ancient (early 1980's vintage) b&d power drill, single
speed
(screaming fast), crappy little chuck - and that always slips into
hammer mode.
Its sole use was being fairly short front to back it could do
masonry
work in tight corners - but now made redundant by a bosch cordless
combi.
Is there a special circle of hell where crappy power tools can be
consigned?
Refer to subject line....

How far the mighty can fall. In the clothing sector formerly
respected brands like Farah and Ben Sherman have ended up in Matalan.

What's Matalan?

A store that sells clothing from 3rd world countries with perhaps 100%
mark-up unlike other high street outlets that source from the same
places but have 1000% mark-up.
