Argos Deal
 

Hi All

Wanted a cheapo lightweight drill/drive for light use.

Just picked up a Challenge Extreme 14:4 volt drill driver from Argos. Two
batteries, one hour charger, 10mm keyless chuck, brake, 16 torque settings,
variable speed, F/R, no hammer.

Argos are clearing them out at £19:99.

Got a one year warranty. If it lasts a year I'm a happy bunny - 40p a week.

Doubt whether the warranty covers 'professional' use though.

Barb acknowledged!

In this situation however, I will be using the driver 2 or 3 times a week.
Entirely consistent with a busy DIY user renovating a house or doing a self
build. That I earn a living doing so is irrelevant.

The 'hours per week use' is what matters surely? I accept that a joiner on
a building site would find the tool useless & would trash it in a matter of
weeks.

My 'hours per week use' is no different to a harsh DIY user and the
'Challenge Xtreme' range is reckoned by Argos to be 'Rigorousley engineered
to meet the toughest challenge. Great performance for more demanding DIY at
affordable prices.'

As opposed to 'Great value & performance for everyday DIY. Designed &
engineered for everyday DIY use.' Which applies to the standard 'Challenge'
range.

You should be ok as long as it doesn't obviously look 'hammered' - and as
long as you wear a suit rather than overalls when taking it back. g

gasp

Hadn't you better leave the issue of coping with rapidly rotating sharp
devices to the experts? In the hands of an amateur such as yourself, a
drill could cause abrasion of skin, removal of eyes and hundreds of
other injuries.

Best leave it to the experts.
