Which is an 858W FOAD hammer drill thingy, complete with some drills and a
pointy chisel. Price? 45 of our foreign Euros, bargain.
Excuse me, I think I have some things to demolish.

 

It was somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "mb"

SDS. Good man. The world is now your hole in the wall.
Those einhell cheapaschips ones are ok for general use; for the price
they last surprisingly long.

It seems to be a good quality piece of kit. Are the "professional" drills
really worth about 8-10 times as much?
The local DIY shop is selling 620 Watt items for 35 Euros, but they look a
bit Chinese.

You tend to get better quality bearings and gears for a start and most
of the pro stuff will last for years of day long working.

The budget stuff is often produced in former Eastern Bloc countries and
isn't actually too bad internally, but don't expect it to last for long
under pro conditions of use.

Some of the Chinese stuff is utter crap, some is ok.

Heh, I've got an einhell cordless which cost (ISTR) about £45 from Macro.

Very good indeed it is, it's first two months of usage were exclusively
mixing epoxy resin with kin dried sand (using a long screw attachment).

Been going strong ever since, with no ill effects.

A good bit of kit.

Patch repairing a factory floor in Birmingham.

For large areas I had to roll on a coat of clear epoxy, then "blitz" the wet
coating with the kiln dried sand. When this had dried I had to brush off
the loose sand and pour in a self levelling screed mix (some of which was
also mixed with the Einhell drill).

For deep gouges, I had to mix the sand with the epoxy and trowell it in to
the holes, then blitz over with more sand.

Epoxy resin has a limited pot life, and once it starts to go off it gets
extremely exothermic (DAMHIKIJD).

It was a fucking horrible job, and I detested every minute of being there.

Don't have to ask, I know.

Sounds like it
