well, the very nice, rotary hammer that I put on ebay just sold for a

My condolences - I hate when that happens. I think part of it was that
Red Head is not well known. I.e., doesn't have a reputation. So it's a
pig-in-the-poke and heavy enough that shipping costs are significant
($44 for where I am).


I almost bid on that but realized that I'm not drilling holes that
large. My little hammer drill can handle the 3/16" bits just fine.
Had it been a Hilti, I probably would have bid anyway. I don't know
Red Head from Adam.
