Fein clone again (and Aldi quoting uk.d-i-y)
The cheap Fein clone is back in Aldi:
http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers...uys3_15875.htm Bought one last year when they reduced the last few to £30 and it's been very good for those jobs where nothing else will do. Also, I see they're quoting Toby's post about their swing drill from this newsgroup but attributing it to diybanter.com: http://www.aldi.co.uk/uk/html/offers...uys3_15873.htm |

Looks like the first generation Fein which you need an allen key to fix the blade. The latest Feins have a quick release which hopefully they have a worldwide patent on. The side grip is a bit useless with a tool that small. In fact almost all the battery/powerdrills I have owned, the side grip is taken off never to be used again. Also, I see they're quoting Toby's post about their swing drill from this newsgroup but attributing it to diybanter.com: I would be interested to know if it was good at drilling joists but I expect the gears would die a relatively quick death if it was used in anger for that sort of heavy duty work, nor would it have the umph. Angle grinder to cut down a spade bit in a short body branded drill/ driver would be far more reliable. Dave. |
