Argos Deal

Your deal is numb: 7105520

Doubt whether the warranty covers 'professional' use though.

I won't tell them if you don't :-)

I don't think this is relevant in this situation..

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.

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.
