Ireally want to strip mine down and rebuild it to clean it, but why try to mend it, if it isn't broken...<br /><br />I did stand on mine once, to get to some high bits in the garden, and the safety catch on the left hadn't clicked, which meant that I was firmly deposited in a heap of bad language and a lack of breath for several minutes!Sen.

My first one only died a few years ago, and ED was heartbroken as she'd 'inherited' it!<br /><br />I put a load of double glazing in at 'The Turrets' about twenty years ago (now chucked out for real wooden windows thank goodness), and bought a top of the range B and D hammer drill, which really was a revelation after making do with the old two-speed one.<br /><br />As for those legs, i managed to do the trip again yesterday...Sen.

For my 16th birthday my favourite aunt (RIP) bought me a Black and Decker electric drill - cost about 6 quid as I recall, which was a week's wages in those days. It has drilled holes in this and that all over the world since and is still going strong some 50 odd years later (although I do also have a much more modern and more powerful hammer drill these days). <br /><br />Agree about sticking out legs - they should be banned or at least be penalised with a yellow card.rvinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1951383775805178587.post-42779878461589666532011-02-20T06:33:04.381+00:002011-02-20T06:33:04.381+00:00Delighted to help Anon!
