Just bought one of these and off to pick it up on Sunday. Anyone got an idea of the rough dimensions?
Thanks

How rough dimensions do you want?
Wembley stadium would be large enough to accommodate one.
A 20 foot container would have capacity for five or six.
A standard 500mm kitchen wall cupboard would hold one if you took the shelf out.
Picture here:

You can look up the size of a standard building block and infer the size from that.
Too heavy to carry home on the bus or train.
Small enough to fit in any car or van you might use.
They'll go on the back seat of a car with some padding or in even a small hatchback with rear seats down.
Bigger than the little £30 supermarket bench drills of the 80's
Smaller than the bigger Jet and Axminster modern bench drills
Startrite Mercury is probably similar in size and weight.
If it's anything like the Walker Turner I have, then "B****y heavy" describes it exactly. Last time I put it on a bench I used rope blocks to lift it. I can move it around, but not really pick it up, it'd need two blokes for that.Mine is 34" high, 20" front to back and about 13" wide.. B****y heavy is the best measure of weight and awkward shape as well. Thirty years ago I had to get daughter's then boyfriend to help me lift it on to bench. Think the removal guys probably put it in place when we moved to Scotland17 years ago
