Default Drilling problems into concrete

on 15/05/2010, mo supposed :
Have you got one?


Yes


Anything in the manual?


Nothing I was able to find.

It has some useful things I have not seen before on any drills, as in a
power indicator and some system to detect when the motor brushes need
to be replaced.


I am guessing they would have mentioned it if it was a feature


Not necessarily. The cheapy I bought from Aldi 5 years ago didn't
mention it had a clutch, I only found out it did when it jammed. This
one improves on that by being to position lock the chisel, and has
variable speed forward and reverse.


Anyone seen one going for under £50 with the clutch and chisel feature?


I'm not convinced the clutch is really that essential. I have had many
drills grab in the past and a firm grip stalls them long enough to
release the trigger. These really are two handed tools, so even less
chance of your trigger arm being damaged.
