Recall due to problem with the clutch on the above drill, which can apparently cause serious injury.

and on all of them the clutch exploded spitting springs and ball bearings all over the place.

shedload of other drills all hanging on a display rack mounted in sockets via a plug held in the chuck.

What sort of strain would that have been putting on an heavy weight machine like that I wondered. And so it turns out that the worry was groundless, the tool was already duff.

Apparently there is a delivery of such high grade goods filling the world's biggest ship on its way here with more of those jollies. If it isn't already here.

Fortunately we are protected by free trade agreements and a sock puppet to go baaa at them. So why are we only allowing Lithuanians and Poles in to work for us? I still have to get up in the morning to go to work when I can find some.

Why don't we let the Chinese in too? Then I can stay in bed and we won't have all that pollution it takes to power such a large ship.

I'd hope zero - consider having to pull up to free a 22mm bit deep in some work you're drilling down to.
