Hi
I have a Kress SDS drill which has a damaged gearbox, not hammering as it should though drilling fine. I have always dealt with my local BMJ Power outlet which has served me well. However it now seemes to be closed down and I am told they have gone bust. Can anyone recomend an alternative source for a gearbox and a replacement for BMJ? I am in Wiltshire. Regards John |

Regards John For B&D and their other brandnames e.g. DeWalt I found a spares outlet on the B&D UK website. Its possible that one of those may have spares for yours because when I went in they had all sorts of other brands.. Mine was in North Baddesley. |

Regards John Where I work we used to deal with BMJ in Glasgow for any B&D repairs or spares, usually no problem but since they went bust the repair agent who took over in Scotland has been less than useless. We are B&D agents but we can't find anyone reliable to attend to warranty repairs. Quite frankly I wouldn't advise B&D diy tools to anyone for this very reason. |

Regards John Try one of these: (1) Contact Kress direct, and ask them for their UK service agents contact details. E-mail and phone number are on the website: http://www.kress-elektrik.de/en/index.php (2) Go to the website, find the parts you want, and the UK service agent will email you back a quote. (3) Call your local Wickes and ask them for the contact details of their service agents for the Kress tools they sell. (4) Call Southampton 02380 494300. I bought a Kress drill from Wickes a few weeks ago and a label with that phone number was stuck over the old BMJ sevice helpline number. HTH, Mike |

I had/have the same problem but in the end bought a new one from Wickes as I
have had such good service from it even though I gave it a good hammering " J Rogers" wrote in message ...
