This is still available btw. Would be a shame to chuck it in the bin as the standard drill/hammer functions do seem to work. Just doesn't get much impact dueing the hammering stage into brick/concrete... Thanks.

@Antonio-d Don't foeget to send me a PM and we can get it sorted...

Hi @antoniI can't imagine it being much more than a tenner... I'll try and keep it as low as poss if you like but I do try to use RM as Hermes I've had plenty of poor exp with...

Thanks and good point. Sounds and feels like it's working. But the power just doesn't seem right. Make 2 holes in red brick yesterday but not with the ease I'm used to with an SDS. The drill bit doesn't look worn.

Thanks Sammy. Reply sent and swaiting postage details etc. Just to be clear that the hammer action appears to be very weak or broken (maybe a bit hit n miss or I expected too much). Thanks for adding the specs @Spectric

Hi all. Not selling as such as it's mistake purchase I made. A used SDS drill and when I've come to use it just now, the hammer action was almost the same as my 18v Milwaukee - possibly missing or I did summat wrong! I'd guess it needs a good refurb or repair as it's nowehere near as powerful...

Hi @mikej460 and thanks for the comment. Not been around for a while as my car started gicing me some gyp as and when I was supposed to bw starting working on the outhouse etc. Not sure if I mentioned the button not full engaging but I spoke to Mafell about this and apparently it's standard...

Same here. Only thing is, it's the kids pencils I'm losing. They're so nice in replenishing (after a few minor threats).

Yes. That vid worked veey well for me and I'll be investing in my own dowels :-)

Just a little update about that switch on the Mafell. The fact that it doesn't fully engage didn't sit too well with me so I contacted the Saw Centre who were brilliant. Got a call from a lovely chap at Mafell. He (was also brilliant in his service/manners) tells me that he's looked over it...

I'm happy with that... especially so that I managed to get it straight and square. Though at first glances it didn't seem likely. Managed to find a dowel somewhere and though I managed to get it in at an angle (cos I'm an idiot), you can't tell. The wife seems happy.

I currently have the Milwaukee (well used 18v) impact and deill driver which I've gifted to my dad (my wood working mentor and who inspired me to I suppose now be a member here... kindof). He was well chuffed when I explained it to him and I reckon he already has a plan for which screws he needs...

Thanks very much for that rogxwhit... I'm doing the first patch just now (and just realised that I had depth stops for the drill in the Makita bit set - lovelt when that happens as I've always used electrical tape). Chances are it'll fail soon and I'll be buying my first ever router bit and...

Found something up above. He has a Festool drill/driver so it probably doesn't get as elegant as that... You were messing with me about using the router, right - I am sometimes rather gullible : - )

As it so happens, I have. Fresh from the ITS sales. Not even bought any bits for it yet so maybe I'll learn loads (for when I syart using it on my own workshop cabinets/drawers). Tell me what/how... (please :)

Oh... option 1 was to just fill it with some smelly wood filler then drill holes and get them scrwws back in...

Don't want the missus confiscating my tools or worse still, not allowing me to buy more with my pocket money! Needed to repair this hinge hole for a while now - but other stuff like broken head gaskets got in the way - but don't want it being a bodge. Also don't want to spend more on brackets...

Too fast... Congrats Jester and thanks Doris... (I was too late aswell).

Hi Peri. Yes, if you go into settings you can turn off a few that allows it to (at least pretend) stop snooping and giving you suggestions on life. I turned mine off a long time ago and stopped getting these sorts of suggestions (linked to what I'd been speaking about privately). Only problem is...

In other (relevant) news. I think my heart is becoming set on the Metabo (German made versions) but in 12v. That allows me to get rid of the AEG drill driver I've had for almost 10 years but upgrades me to a tiny impact aswell (and get rid of the Milwaukee which I bought used thinking it's all...
