I don't faffing believe it !!! This is how my drill came out of the box. Am seriously fd off !!!View attachment 134807

Oh Noooo, though it did not look good from the outside packaging.
For what it is worth, I love the base it looks almost like a giant gear change pattern.

 

[Seadog]

Sorry to see that Spencer. It never ceases to amaze me how little people think when they pack something. It looks like it was just stuck in the box assembled. No surprise at the outcome

its a shame for the drill poor packaging and poor handerling for something heavy

though parts should be swapable

That's true. I have a list of machinery that I work my way through when funds allow. Still got a few more items to go. Should have enough space to work comfortably .But I sure there be a few other bits. Missed out on a couple of items recently and i found it very anoying .

bigger shed means you fill it with more junk as well

Yes that's one consolation. Parts are interchangeable.

 

[God mode restorations]

Have calmed down.
It's broke and that's that. But I can use the parts out of it. Just winds you up. Never mind.

 

[slim_boy_fat]

Thanks slim.

 

[God mode restorations]

Well. I got pop out now and go look at the rapidor saw. That will cheer me up a bit.

 

[angellonewolf]

i would put in for a refund its there responceability to get it to you undamaged

 

[eLuSiVeMiTe]

That's as much down to poor packaging as rough handling during delivery. Packer and courier both to blame, hopefully you will be fully refunded and get to keep the drill.



Lovely feed mechanism, simple and effective.

Would have boxed it in mdf and bubblewrap myself and allowed for it in postage costs. Can't really blame the courier for that.

Anything off this any use? Or I might be interested in the non-broken bits off yours, there seems a lot missing from mine!

 

[gaz1]

yours is missing the bolt on ratchet bar and top cog wheel which ratchets down a peg per turn of the wheel therefore automatic hole drilling through the steel plate instead of turning the handle like spencer does on his

 

[rtbcomp]

I don't have the large wheel either, although I have the internal gear which is attached to it.

One the plus of today's downer I had a result with the rapidor saw .I brought it and will pick it up in a couple of days. It's a faffing stout ol lump with the biggest 3 phase motor I ever see.

 

[MattF]

They're notably chunkier than the others, aren't they.

 

[God mode restorations]

They're notably chunkier than the others, aren't they.

Yes definitely a lot more chunkier .Am looking forward to getting it home

 

[Fastfingaz]

You sir have committed a cardinal sin, the workshop,purchases,toys,tools and projects of great silliness/expense are not for the eyes of swmbo. Fit a woman trap near the entrance of the workshop
