Well it's with a bit of genuine sadness that my old drill died today. It's older than me, probably about 30 years, and hasn't missed a beat. Today though it decided to finally give up the ghost, with one of the bearing runs and contents shattering, causing too much damage to be worth repairing. It had a good innings though...
So I'm after a replacement for doing heavier stuff than my little cordless offerings can handle. The old drill was a 500w with hammer function. I'm after something equivalent - no bells or whistles, just a rock solid mains powered drill, with hammer, for doing large pieces of woodwork, holes into masonry, and some occasional metalwork.
This is one of those workshop items that I won't use that much, I just find it critical from time to time!
Any and all pointers to add to my research welcomed!
Cheers.
