I'm thinking of buying the Dewalt 18v 4ah brushless combi drill as my standard one with brushes has died on me due to the battery not sitting in place properly to stay on while using. Can anyone tell me if they have noticed an improvement using the brushless and if it's worth the extra money. Thanks.
 
I borrowed one yesterday from a wood butcher. And I have to say I was well impressed with the speed of the thing it's the first thing default have ever made that's impressed me
 
Who informed you that the battery not sitting in the correct position caused the drill to die.

Sounds like a 'fob off' excuse to me.
I would dig deeper or change brands if this was said to me
 
^^^^+1 excellent comment

The red men make no effort at excuses they just don't have to. If it breaks they fix or replace. Unlike yellow muppets
 
Not hearing good things about the Milwaukee fuel combo drill though

It's not what I've been told it is what is happening. Every time I use it I have to hold the battery in the right position so it stays on. If I don't hold it the vibration from drilling shakes the battery loose enough that the motor slows to a stop. It's not the battery as I've tried them in other drills and they work fine.

Combi drill is like a Combi boiler , middle of the road. It drills fine screws fine but it's not a sds drill .

Does anyone know the name of this model of Roca toilet?
Hi guys. I'm trying to identify a toilet model before ordering a seat for a customer. I went to what used to be a Roca stockist (they no longer are) and one of the guys there reckoned it might be "The Gap". I went to the new stockist and the guy there disagreed it was "The Gap" and that he'd...

Multi Meter which one for engineers
Can anyone recommend a decent multi meter, preferably under a 100 pounds. It's for checking boiler components so I don't need a top spec one ....just easy to use and reliable. The fluke 115 looks good but its above my budget. My current socket and see one was great but it's developed a fault.

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
