Turbo Gold Coach Screws II
Hi All
Bought myself a Wickes 'Very High Torque Drill' today. I have 3 big decking jobs to do so, I thought I'd make the investment & spread the cost. I can use it as a mixer and with a core drill for plumbing as well. Drives in those 10mm x 100mm coach screws so fast you wouldn't believe it. Treats them with utter contempt. Torque quoted as 85 Nm. Jeez this thing is powerful. -- Dave The Medway Handyman www.medwayhandyman.co.uk 01634 717930 07850 597257 |

Jeez this thing is powerful. It's you littering the landscape with decking then is it? :-) My neighbour has just had what looks like a concert platform built outside her back door, and that's to save removing the pebbles, which are just soooo 2005! |

Glad to hear you've got it sorted, and no more trying to drive wheel
nuts with 3.6V screwdrivers either. |

We will be having a FAQ on the virtues of buying a Crap Wickes/Kress high
torque driver now with all your new found expertise. "I tried with my 14.4v driver (loads of torque)" so this statement was based on what a Lidl special |

Maybe this FAQ should state what makes are crap. If it does you will find that Kress will not be in the list. Kress are a quality German maker. |

And are light, compact, have no (or little) torque reaction and are better than drill/drivers for normal screwdriving as well as things like this. No cam-out is another advantage (although they explode bits instead). I know the 'wrong' person is championing them on here, but he's dead right on this. |

Or you are just a local folk-devil. I don't know and don't care - but you are right about impact drivers, although I'm not smitten with Ryobi at all (bar the price I suppose). |

Wow. What part of Little Middle England are you from? Or you are just a local folk-devil. Do you have them in Little Middle England but you are right about impact drivers, I know I am. I am right about everything. although I'm not smitten with Ryobi at all I am. |
