Bought Sis a cheap hammer drill from Screwfix a while back. I think she has drilled the grand total of three holes in five years.theoretica said:FreeBear said:
I use mine with various whisks & paddles - If I'm mixing a tub of lime plaster, it will be 10 minutes at least. A bucket of render this afternoon. That was another 5 minutes of use...theoretica said: They quote that the average electric drill is used for about 11 minutes in its lifetime...So think how little many drills must be used to bring the average down...
Any language construct that forces such insanity in this case should be abandoned without regrets. –

Yes indeed. I've got a couple of Bosch blue so that I don't need to swap the bits. They get enough use to justify it.maisie_cat said:
Agreed, if not 2 of them, we have 3 identical ones from Makita and have a selection of other tools using the same batteries.Grenage said:A good cordless combi drill is probably the tool I use the most.
Like Freebear my corded SDS drill has only been used for a few holes. I mainly use it for paddle mixing ( although I mix lime with a spade). I'm amazed it hasn't burned out.0
