SDS drill removal.

Stick that and any other old[ish] stuff you don't want to keep for personal reasons pieces on eBay, the Chinese are buying back their 'history' and can pay what seem to us ridiculous amounts to get it back.

I know this because a pal [sadly no longer with us] put an old vase which had been converted to a lamp [not Ming iirc] to a local salesroom a few years back and couldn't believe how much it fetched. It had been brought from china by his father who was a Captain with the White Star Line [he dodged a bullet [well...iceberg] by not being in charge on the Titanic ]

You might be pleasantly surprised......
[btw, they call me Mr 10% ...only joking!]

EDIT: Don't clean it before listing, authentic Chinese dust, innit, and part of the 'patina'

fantastic..i have a load of stuff here they can have back including lawn mowers,drills etc

I’ve just replaced my 15 year old 30mm sds bit, never managed to do the damage the op mentioned

I repair breakers for diggers for a living(not for long hopefully) the chisels or ball points if over worked will mushroom and are a real pain in the rear to get out so I have to strip the whole thing down then use a 50t press to put it back together.

It is a simple and clever way of using the hydraulic takeoffs and a nitrogen filled cushion to work it with only one moving part and that’s the piston against the point.
