A new drill!

Are taking Maxie lessons?

I have a B&D around that is over 25 yerars old.

I too have a bosch that I got for my birthday in 1980. It's a mains powered two speed hammer drill and still works perfectly.

However I hardly ever use it as I use an SDS for masonary bits and a cordless for everything else.

at that end of the price range = 7.2V b&d in yellow...

Well thank the Lord I bought a Bosch on Sunday, no now I *know* it was the right decision, even before i use it for the first time. :-)

And, I've got a B&D hammer drill that is 20 odd years old, but it hasn't worked for at least the last ten years though.

Wait and see. Use it seriously and you will see alright.

Have I got this right, you've kept a broken drill for 10 years? It's probably time to chuck ( ha, gettit) it out.

What junk have the rest of you kept?

Me2: but it's not broken, just awaiting repair

Just don't even go there ...

Not kept so much, just not been seen for a while. I've got an idea where it is.

I've got loads more useless stuff as well. I've also got, in the process of reconditioning for sale I might add, a DC04, a DC07, a Panasonic upright, two 110V Numatic 1000W cleaners, an electrofusion machine, a brand new aqua vac industrial wet & dry 30 litre cleaner, a Toshiba Strata DK280 PBX and handsets and a 19" CRT monitor, and that's just the stuff I can see!

Ah, one of them new fangled ones I suppose. I've got a quarter inch B&D that's coming up to it's 50'th birthday next year. Still works too - or it did last time I tried it a few years ago.

Dewalt 9.6V. Hell and back and still turning.
