I've been after a cordless drill for a while, simply because when I need to drill something, it is often when the power is off (like putting in lighting). Jams gave me the spec for what I really needed in a cordless drill when I bought my corded drill, but I simply couldn't afford to splash out the hundred odd pounds required.
So when my local hardware store dropped a nice booklet through my door the other week, offering a 24v cordless hammer drill, with variable speed and keyless chuck for a bargain 35 pounds, I felt I just had to be there... It is a brand I am not at all familiar with (Power Devil), but it seems to be reasonable enough. The instructions for using the keyless chuck unfortunately missed a key instruction, so as a result my hands are kind of red from trying to twist unnecessarily!
There were a few jobs that I had left uncompleted for a while, so when I got my new drill I sorted out the living room light fitting, put up a new mirror in my hall and put the blue ropelight in place. I'm liking it thus far! Let me know if you need anything drilled... ;-)Comments
