Got a Kress hammer drill/chisel which has given me great service.
However I
need a part for it but I cannot find a service centre which supplies
parts.
Can anyone pont me in the right direction??

The answer I got from Kress when I emailed them on this very subject is
reproduced below (interesting that they did not mention Wickes at all
however) (email addresses munged by me):

Many thanks John

Actually got the drill through a local power tool shop 5 years ago.
Was not aware Wickes stocked them.

Under the Wickes label (grey). You ask the info people and if it is made in
Germany it is a Kress. Some of the other pro range are made by other
companies. The SDS drills are Kress.

Kress have the only web site which has parts blow up diagrams. Superb.
