Cordless drill
"Huge" wrote in message ... Anyone recommend a decent light duty cordless drill? My elderly & several times repaired B&D gave up the ghost today ... Buy the most expensive Makita known to man. That will do you. |

My elderly & several times repaired B&D gave up the ghost today ... Buy the most expensive Makita known to man. That will do you. I wouldn't buy anything you recommend. That would be foolish. Sometimes I wish I'd bought a Makita rather than Bosch though. Anyway, I bought a Wickes own-brand 18V jobby, reduced from 40-some pounds to £26. It's drilled several hundred holes and driven screws into them through hardwood decking this afternoon without any apparent problem. Other than the scabby screwdriver bit adaptor failing (the hexagonal bit goes round inside the round bit...) But I have several of those, so no big deal. All I need now is a 160mm dia/16 mm bore circular saw blade for my Bosch saw, since none of the sheds seem to sell them. D&M tools (www.dm-tools.co.uk) have Freud Pro blades in that size - 12,24 & 40 tooth. Between £14 and £24. Expect Axminster will sell them as well. -- Richard Sampson mail me at richard at olifant d-ot co do-t uk |

Then buy the cheapest drill known to man then. |
