What did you do? Use it under water?

I held it with my leather-gloved hand completely blocking the vent
slots, whicle constantly chiseling for half an hour. I failed to smell
the burning because I was wearing an activated carbon mask. First thing
I knew was when it just stopped working. Upon removing the mask, the
stench was incredible - must have been burning for quite some time.


As for cost, the machine was only £120. Very good value.


me thinks not.

Only £20-£30 more than your Kress.
